5 out of 5 stars
This book could not only change your life... it could change the world!
This book is an absolute must read for anyone who wishes to achieve a more successful and happier life. Jack Canfield reveals the specific requirements, methods and principles for breaking through and achieving success in life, work, health and love. So whether you need to boost your team's revenues at the office, expand your personal creativity to figure out that big idea, break out of a negative pattern that is keeping you from finding love, or simply to create more balance in your life, this book will help you pave the way to achieving true and sustainable success. I'd like to add that after I read this book, I loved it so much that I took Jack's life changing workshop - Breakthrough to Success - and I can testify that this stuff works! Because of the workshop and finding the will to follow the timeless principles in this book, I have finally found how to achieve multiple breakthroughs that were eluding me over the years. Yes, the Success Principles absolutely work! One more thing - recently, I've been serving as a strategic consultant to a global humanitarian organization on a project that will transform the lives of millions of people - this has given me the privilege of traveling and meeting people all over the world, including poverty stricken countries like Somalia. (For fun, I'll attach a pix of me in a slum in Rawalpindi Pakistan.) I now see that the one vital component for transforming and lifting the Third World out of poverty is to shift consciousness in exactly the way that the Success Principles encourages. Therefore, I am 100% in support of Jack's vision of bringing the Success Principles to millions of people all over the world. I'm all in!

    This book changed my life for the better. I was young in the military just passing time. I came across this book while browsing through Barnes &Nobles. I wasn’t into reading but when I started reading this it had my attention like it was talking to me personally. The first principle hit me hard like a ton of bricks and made me take a good look at myself. Since the. I’ve always tried to live by these principles and the real life success stories in the book inspire me still til this day!

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book transformed my life in a way that other books haven't
    Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This book transformed my life. It took me a full year to read (I did read several other books within the same timeframe), I read the first section of it with my work team, did all of the homework or suggested activities within, attended some seminars by the Canfield Training Group, and lastly invested in becoming a trainer of the curriculum because I connected so well with the concepts presented.

    I have been teaching leadership principles within a university setting for almost 20 years. This book adds to that knowledge, as well as brings about several exercises to shift from unconscious to conscious brain activity that I really needed in my life for my own progression. I plan to read this book annually, as it has so much information in it that it is worthy of additional time and study. I had my first copy cut and spiral bound so that I can spend more time on individual pages, treating the book more like a manual. I often find myself referencing the book and have shared much of it's teachings in all arenas of my life.

    In my library of hundreds of business books, this one has been placed onto my top 5 list. I am so grateful for all it has done to increase my productivity, improve my relationships, accomplish more with less, change my paradigms about asking for what I need, spur me to take a much stronger conscious approach to money management, and the list goes on.

    I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is open to learning, open to diving deep into oneself, and anyone who is willing to take complete responsibility for one's own life, one's own success, and one's own ability to let go of the past to rewrite a new future. This book has very practical, easy to carry out activities and projects to radically improve one's life.

    Lastly, I recommend reading this book with others who you can share your progress with. Coming together in our work team to read and discuss was so helpful as we shared our a-ha moments, our lists, our completed assignments like our have's, do's and be's list and goal binder. We had a vision board party where we each created ours and then presented it to each other. Many awesome things started to manifest after putting those boards together, and we could celebrate those things with each other. Reading this book together created a strong bond with that team. As the year progressed our schedules made it more challenging to read it together, so we decided to finish it individually. But we learned that we missed the group learning, so we will soon start up again together as a group with an altered format of presenting the chapters to one another instead of actually reading and discussing together. (We would come together on our lunch hour to read along in our books with the cd of the book, pausing it often to discuss)

    Individually, I would listen to the book while commuting for 60 minutes every day. I would then review key things I would hear at night before bed. It was bitter sweet when I finished it last night. I truly did not want the book to end, yet I was so excited to check off a goal of completing the book by Nov 1st. This book truly has made a significant positive impact on my life. It was well worth my time and money.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025

    Look at a lot of books and the kindle pricing is equal or greater than a physical book. This is insane. Congrats to this team that priced the kindle version at $2.99. I didn't even have to sample it, just bought it at that price. It's a great book content wise. But even more impressive to me was they got their pricing correct.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Success Principles is a must have in any "success" book home library...
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I read the first version of The Success Principles back in 2009 and I honestly felt like I came across one of the best and most complete resources for success (and really life) I have ever read. I was even more thrilled when I discovered there was The Success Principles for Teens because finding effective ways to teach these life tools and techniques to my daughters has always been a top priority, and challenge. My oldest daughter has not only read it, she has even referred back to some of the principles when I obviously break them :).

    I had all but forgotten pre-ordering this updated version of The Success Principles until I got the surprise package in the mail today. All of the core content in this version is still there, but what was exciting to read were the new success stories included of people that bought the original book and had breakthroughs.

    The completely new content included is "Success in the Digital Age" and it is a fantastic resource. I would consider myself very knowledgeable when it comes to technology and Internet Marketing (having worked as a Sr. System Engineer for over a decade and years learning and implementing various Internet Marketing solutions), and I can say this addition is fantastic. The content and advice he managed to include in just five chapters is impressive, and spot on. If topics like social media, technology, and online branding are areas that are a weakness, or you want to learn more about the most effective ways to leverage these and other technical solutions used by some of the most successful leaders in this space, than you will love this addition to the book.

    I will end this review by saying I am life coach, and resources like these are gold. I am constantly referring back to this text before and after sessions. I am a huge fan of countless self-help experts and bestselling authors, and I have a huge list of books I love and regularly recommend, but none are such a complete resource like this book. As one of the "experts" in this space said about this book, trying to just identify the "big ideas" included in this book is virtually impossible, because everything he includes IS a "big idea." So if you are a fan of this type of content this is a must have in your library, if only for a reference.

    5.0 out of 5 stars une "bible" du développement personnel
    Reviewed in France on May 7, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Ce livre est une véritable bible du développement personnel. Il est écrit dans un style clair, avec de nombreuses histoires venant illustrer les propos. Il reprend les acquis de différentes méthodes ( de la loi de l'attraction à l'EFT) et les présente avec un grand sens de la pédagogie. Chacun pourra trouver matière utile dans ces 67 principes du succès. Certains sont redondants. Le lecteur pourra soit estimer qu'une rédaction plus concise serait préférable soit trouver que la répétition a des vertus pédagogiques.
    Le dernier chapitre intitulé "Success in the digital age" qui a été rajouté pour cette nouvelle édition donne quelques pistes. Il ne me semble pas être à la hauteur du reste du livre.
    C'est un livre très américain : outil de marketing au service de la promotion de tous les produits Canfield, vision très teintée de matérialisme (le succès est très souvent associé à la possession d'objets), beaucoup de bons sentiments. Cela ne manquera pas d'agacer certains lecteurs français. Qu'ils soient prévenus !!!
    Pour ma part, je ne retiens que le positif de ce livre de près de 600 pages qui évite d'en lire beaucoup d'autres moins bien faits. Les 5 étoiles récompensent la clarté, l'enthousiasme et la masse de l'information donnée. Mais je ne serais pas surpris que d'autres critiques soient plus sévères tant la culture américaine imprègne toutes les pages de ce livre.
    Comme toujours dans ces livres de développement personnel, il y a un seuil à franchir entre savoir ce qu'il faut faire et l'appliquer. Force de constater que l'auteur met tout en oeuvre pour nous aider à le franchir. Cela suffira-t-il ?

    Avevo già letto l'edizione precedente in formato cartaceo presa 4 anni fa. Ora sto leggendo questa in lingua originale e la trovo ancora più efficace. Le revisioni e gli aggiornamenti sono molteplici. Posso dire con sincerità che in questi 4 anni mi sono impegnato a seguire i principi indicati nel libro e, senza entrare nei particolari, dico solo che ho ottenuto effettivamente dei risultati sia nel lavoro che nella vita familiare grazie ad essi. "I principi funzionano se facciamo funzionare i principi". Tutto vero. Grazie Jack!
