Change Your Life in Seven Days - Paul McKenna

The only reason this book came to be in my posession was th fact that I bought it in a charity shop for the princely sum of fifty pence so I thought at that price it was worth a read. The whole premise of the book is to encourage the reader to make some changes in their lives that will improve the overall quality of life for them, I can certainly understand the appeal of such a book and certainly some of the ideas that McKenna has are quite good however I would take with a hefty pinch of cynicism some ofthe suggestions he made on becomming wealthy, after all if they were that easy we would all do them and then the extra wealth would be relative and you would ...  Read the complete review

I bought this book early last year. At the time I was in a job I hated and was looking for a quick fix confidence booster that might help me to improve my situation.

Mckenna's book titles can be misleading, because some people,(I ...  Read the complete review

I picked up a discounted copy of this book from Sussex Bookshops (6.99) whilst I was getting really interested in neurlinguistic programming. Many of you will have seen Paul on the television almost miraculously changing affected individuals' lives, and the question is what can it do for a normal Jo/Joanne? There is no doubt that McKenna has some great ideas, and if you read the book, possibly even slavishly doing it to his timetable, there is material in there that can help everyone a bit. Some of the things seem a bit trite, especially the section on how to become wealthy. His model involves discarding any notions that you are poor, and acting and thinking ...  Read the complete review
