Audiobook Review: The Success Principles - 10th Anniversary Edition CD

I have completed listening to The Success Principles - 10th Anniversary Edition CD: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Jack Canfield and am now beginning to put much of my learning into practice. PMPs note: I claimed and was granted 21.5 PDUs by PMI for listening to this book. Canfield became successful beyond all imagination with the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books and being profiled in The Secret. Canfield weaves practical, pragmatic and proven business and success advice with a heavy serving of Law of Attraction belief and methodology. The book is rich with interesting anecdotal stories of individual success and constantly refers to seemingly every popular Law of Attraction, self-help, motivational, personal finance and how-to business management book ever published. The Success Principles is entertaining and packed with life-lessons, applicable guidance and life-skills rules. I particularly like Canfield's explicit emphasis on the need to learn skills, take action and persevere in addition to having positive and affirmative thoughts. The narration is engaging. The leadership and management principles revisit touchstones of dozens of best-selling books. The review and reminders of best practices are affirming and this book pushes my buttons in a good way. I am thoroughly enjoying the motivational stories and legitimate life-lessons. I highly recommend this audio version of The Success Principles to everyone and particularly to aspiring leaders and youth. The audiobook is a 22 hour journey. I suggest listening to it in 15-minute to 30-minute bites.
