About the Author
Dr. Robert Anthony is an undercover secret for some of the most successful people on the planet. For the past 30 years he has spent his life unraveling the mysteries of the mind. During that time he has earned a Ph.D. in behavioral psychology and has worked as a psychotherapist, NLP practitioner, master hypnotist and personal performance trainer.

He has spoken at over 5,000 prestigious seminars all over the world, and been featured as the keynote speaker to clients who paid hundreds or thousands of dollars to attend.

He has authored over 15 books, which have been published in 22 countries. His flagship book, The Ultimate Secrets of Total Self-Confidence has sold over a million copies.

Unlike most other "mind performance" and "self-improvement" experts, he hasn't thrived on publicity to make a name for himself. What makes Dr. Anthony different is his ability to take complicated ideas and teach them in a simple but powerful way that gets immediate RESULTS.

He doesn't teach motivation seminars and "positive thinking". It's much deeper than that. He goes Beyond Positive Thinking. He aligns your personal power in accordance with the natural laws of the Universe - and reverses the polarity of your life! So rather than eliminating the things you don?t want, you become naturally attracted towards the things you do want!

An Excellent Resource For Achieving Your Goals
I'm usually not into books on the Law of Attraction. I found "The Secret" kind of hokey, and the metaphysical explanation of how it worked, I think took away from the basic message of the film.

However, I found Robert Anthony's explanation of the LOA very practical. He does veer into metaphysical-sounding language at times, but Beyond Positive Thinking is by far the best description of the whole "like attracts like" principle that I've heard. In the book, he also covers:

*The "glitch" that keeps most people from attracting success into their lives, and even causes them to sabotage themselves, and what you can do to fix the glitch in yourself.

*How to identify and clear out negative beliefs about money and financial success.

*How to set "goal intentions", as well as affirmations and visualizations to move you in the direction of the things you want in life.

It's a short read, but Dr. Anthony manages to cover a LOT of stuff in here. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who's read or listened to other self-improvement programs, but finds themselves still struggling to change their circumstances. But, like anything else, you'll only see results with this one *if you use it*!

much of the same
Ask yourself, how many times can you say the same thing, give it a new title, and market it well? Sure, there are always a few new spins about a subject that have never been presented in exactly the same way before. But, the concept has been shared so many times, by so many authors for well over a century, that you should ask yorself, "what is it going to take to get the message and implement it"? Nothing new here in my opinion. Is it valuable? Sure for someone just taking their first step in the direction of conscious living! Save you money and save a few trees, the Planet could use yor help.

Mt. Everest of self-help books
This book has an interesting history. In 1973 it was created as a series of audio cassettes; in 1988 turned into a book and in 2004 rewritten with the original title restored, a good title. (Anthony's publishers have foisted a couple of dumb titles on his books.) In my view this book is golden, the Mt. Everest of self-help books. Don't be fooled by its briefness because Anthony makes every sentence count and there is more than 30 years of experience behind it, which gives it clarity. True, some people have sniffed out the spirituality grounding this book and reacted like Dracula to the cross. The fundamentalists also, the "if Adam and Eve were not real people then the whole Bible is a lie" type of thinkers, won't like it. But that's their loss. The spirituality gives the book depth, power and roots which all the "no sweat, get rich quick" books lack. There is just one problem. Most people will read this book and go on to the next self-help, success book. But those who read it again and again and diligently, patiently, put its teaching into practice may find a miracle in their life. (I regret that Anthony keeps such a low profile and his life very private, since you always want to know an author you admire. Still, its the message that counts, not the credentials. Those who want to see where the ideas in this book came from can go to Anthony's "Ultimate Secrets of Total Self-Confidence," a hype title but a good book.
