Here’s a review of my new ebook “How to Get Astonishing Results in Life Using the Eight Crucial Elements of Self-Development” written by Troy Boyd from over at http://www.successfulselfhelp.com…

Troy read the book and sent me the review saying that he’ll be posting this on his blog later today.   Hope you like it.

We’re inundated with people pushing their products every single day on the internet, and sadly most don’t live up to all the hype.  Let’s face it, how many times have you been promised the world on a sales page, only to be disgusted by the amount of disappointment you have.

After all, sometimes we’re desperately searching for a solution to our problems and when we drop some good money on a book or report that promises to give us that solution…then we’re hoping beyond hope that the report will deliver.

This is especially true in the self-development field where the solution could mean the difference between our hopes soaring or being beaten down even further in the dirt than they were in the first place.

All this is going somewhere, I promise.

Recently a good friend of mine David Feinstein gave me a review of his new e-book in the self-development field titled “How to Get Astonishing Results in Life Using the Eight Crucial Elements of Self-Development”.

Now I’ll be honest, I get a lot of stuff to review and very often just skimming through a product I can tell that it’s going to be pretty much the same old crap that’s all over the internet already.  So in other words, most of the stuff I get sent for review doesn’t make it past the table of contents and a skim through the chapters.

I felt a little differently getting a copy of David’s new e-book because well, frankly I knew David already, and I knew that David was already hugely successful in his own right.  I also knew from working with him that he was a guy with huge amounts of integrity, so basically I was fairly confident that this book would make it through the skim test.

What I didn’t expect though was that the book actually stopped me in my tracks, and all the skimming went out the window.  I pretty much read from cover to cover (well, virtual cover to cover since it was an e-book but you get the point)…

From the introduction David pretty much had me gripped.

Here’s why.

He immediately explains exactly why the reader might not be seeing success in their lives…and in great detail.  He then goes on to say that the elements of success are within each of us already – and in fact we already use them, we just use them backwards.

I finally understood exactly how so many people get confused with their lack of success, even though they might feel like they’re doing all of the right things.

Each chapter goes on to explain a new element of success, and how it’s meant to be used correctly, with real world examples given at each opportunity.

The thing I really like about all this though is that these are not just chapters like so many other books have that simply explain the problem, and never giving a real solution.  David gives real usable solutions that anybody can start implement immediately to see results.  He seems to realize that sometimes people need to have something that they can relate to rather than just text book theories…and he gives that all throughout the book.

Probably the best part of the e-book is the personal letter to the reader about exactly how to use the e-book to get the most out of it.

Listen, we all have our e-books that we read and never go back to again, but David lays out a plan so that you can get tons out this e-book.  He shows you how to implement the ideas and see consistent and constant improvement…and how to use the book as an actual tool, not a quick read.

One thing that I think makes this book really truly stand-out – that some may not actually like to be honest – is that he doesn’t tell you anywhere that by simply reading the e-book that your life will change or any success will happen.  But he does lay out a nice plan for that to happen in a very effective and long reaching way.

I would recommend “How to Get Astonishing Results in Life Using the Eight Crucial Elements of Self-Development” for anyone in the world who wants to see their life improve from where it’s at now.  With this book I think that it’s possible for that to happen at near warp speed, simply because of the rock solid principles and success based elements within it.

“Our attitude tells the world what we expect in return.  If it’s a cheerful, expectant attitude, it says to everyone with whom we come in contact that we expect the best in our dealings with our world.”  ~ Earl Nightingale

Let me start with a question.  Out of a seven day week, how many of those days would you say that you wake up with a positive, “ready to take on the world” attitude?

I’m willing to predict that your answer is probably either 1 or 2 if you’re being honest…especially if you work outside the home 5 days a week.  To be really honest, I know some people who never wake up with a positive attitude so the answer for them is a big fat zero.

Have you ever considered the effect that waking up and starting your day like this, with a negative outlook, has on your entire life?  Would you say that it’s held you back a bit?  If you’re saying “no” then you’re lying to yourself.

Your attitude holds the key to your level of success in life, hands-down before anything else.

Nightingale goes on to state: “It is then our attitude toward life that determines life’s attitude toward us”.  What he means by this is really pretty simple…the attitude that you reflect outwards is reflected right back toward you.

Now this might just seem like some crazy “Secret” type motivational speech talk…but the fact is that until you take a good hard look at your attitude toward life, toward yourself, and toward all the people around you, your results in any endeavor are going to be and remain dismal.

On any one of those days that you’ve woken up “on the wrong side of bed” so to speak, with a less than desirable attitude… have you noticed that nothing else seemed to go your way on those days?  If you felt like the world was against you it’s because you were against the world, and it was just reflecting back what you were putting out.

Your attitude sets the tone for everything in YOUR life…for your, and only your reality.

You see, your reality is the only reality that you can ever be aware of at anytime.  Everything that you see and do comes through your perceptions, through your eyes, and your mind, and therefore what you see…and how you perceive anything at all, is totally unique to how anybody else sees it.

But the great thing is that with a change in attitude, you can actually change the way you see and perceive something.  Depending on your attitude you can change whether or not it becomes a negative or positive.  Some call this a paradigm shift.  You shift your paradigm of perception.

So now what does this have to do with your chances of success?

Well basically it goes like this.  Your quality of life – or lack of – is directly shaped by your attitude toward life.  You then are like the sculptor of your life, and your attitude is your number one sculpting tool.  This is because, since everything that you put out…attitude wise…is reflected back to you, then if you’re putting out a positive attitude that looks for the good in everything and everyone; that sees life as a winning game where there’s an abundance of prizes at the end; and as a life of vast opportunity then all of that will be reflected right back toward you.

It has to because that’s the perception and the reality that you’re creating for yourself.

Your attitude will shape your future…and frankly it’s one of the few things in this world that you actually have control over, so why not take control and mold it into exactly what you want it to be?
