This book could be either great or just OK, depending what you expect or want from it. What it delivers is an index of 50 top self help books. It gives you a brief outline of the books, with some key points from each text. In a sense it is giving you a brief introduction to each book. If this is all you want, then it is a great book.

The problem I have, is the brief synopsis of each book, is not enough for you to understand each book and its theories. Some reviewers seem to think it is. Since 1985, I have read 100's of self help books. I am now a business consultant and life coach. I have developed my in depth knowledge, not by reading books like this, but by reading the full texts of books. Whilst there is nothing wrong in reading this book and using it as a tool to buy the books reviewed, that you like, it simply does not go into each book in enough depth, to change your life. So use this book as an index tool to find books you may like, but the information contained in it, will in itself not change your life or beliefs.

Great book as far as it goes.
