Customer Reviews

Believe it or not, it will actually help you achieve goals!
IN the 'self-help' category, The Magic Lamp stands out - It REALLY HELPS YOU SET GOALS AND ACHIEVE THEM! It is not only a thoroughly good 'read' but a practical, straight forward way to focus in on the areas YOU dream of improving, rather than trying to convince you that you need to do/be/becoome many of the things OTHERS want you to become. Since reading this book, I've started exercising reguarly, getting up 30 minutes earlier to work on my dream (remember, that's the most important thing you do all day!) and generally stop beating myself up in the process about all the "shoulds" and "could-have's" in my life. When distracted by the white noise of my day, I can now pause to remind myself of what is important - working on my dream rather than trudging along. A GREAT book!

Fantastic! One of the best on the subject of goal-setting.
This book is different. It avoids all the cliches used in so many other books. I have already started implementing many of the ideas from this book in my daily life. Alot of self-help books get me excited as I read them, but when I finish them I put them back on the shelf and forget about them. Not this one. It will never be too far out of reach. It's funny, but all self-help authors seem very egotistical, thinking that their book is the answer to the worlds problems. This author shows no pretense, but portrays a consise, easy to understand method of setting goals. Changing ourselves is not easy. No matter what methods we us, or who tells us of an easier way to do it. This book is better than most at putting the message across.

Reads well; better for implementing than for setting goals.
This is a nicely written book; it is a "good read." Its strong suit is in showing how to implement goals once they are down on paper in front of you. But that is 95% of the book. The process of determining what your goals are, or setting them, gets short shrift.
