Summary: been using the advice since 1991
Comment: I love this book -- I first read it when I was a college freshman in 1991 and I really credit it with helping me get a lot out of college and life after graduation. The advice is funny but true, and makes you examine what your goals and your excuses for not achieving them. Because goals continually change as life changes, I often find myself doing some of the fun exercises set forth in this book --- even though I haven't seen an actual copy of it for years. It just stays with you!

Summary: Finally!
Comment: I have read a lot of self-help books, but this is the first one that actually helped.
First off, I would say DO THE EXCERCISES!!! There aren't many of them, they are simple -- though not easy. They force you to focus, to confront yourself and your assumptions about your life.
The main thing I took away from this book was a more realistic outlook. The world does not owe you a thing. As Mark Twain said, "The world doesn't owe you anything; it was here first." I think a lot of people are like me -- it's not that we don't have any dreams -- it's that we have too many. this leads to a sense of not having enough time. It's like being in the perfect library -- there are so many books you want to read, you have a hard time decding which one to start with. Our dreams are often like that. What is needed is a plan. What do you really want to read. Not, I want to read Moby Dick, and then Madame Bovary... the trick, when confronted with too many choices, is to find a more overarching dream -- I want to have read the best American Novels of the 19th Century. Then, as sad as it may make you feel, you drop Madame Bovary. BUT that doen't mean you cvan't come back later.
The trick is to START! Often you will find that when you pursue one dream, other dreams you had take care of themselves in the process.
Buy this book. It's a quick read -- even with the excercises, and you will come away with a sense that it really is never too late, and that with work, your dreams are possible.

Summary: Perfect title for an excellant advice book
Comment: When you first look at this book the size of it can be intimidating but Peter McWilliams has scattered motivational quotes throughout the book which are impressed upon the subconscious mind due to the formatting that was used. That and the well written and clear advice that he gives on how to overcome 'your comfort zone' holding you back from what you really want out of life combines to set you up for a new burst of energy and ambition for the next stage of your life. At least it worked that way for me.
The author doesn't preach at you but uses an informal and comfortable style to encourage you to achieve your best at whatever point you are in your life. The exercises in the book can be very enlightening on where you are and why you're there instead of where you want to be. I've done these exercises at different times and they are always useful in 'kicking' me in the pants to get me off my buts.
