Negative Positive
Title: Success
Review: From the cover, it appears that the book is marketed at the success oriented crowd. Dr. Cloud is identified as a psychologist and co-author of the best selling 'Boundaries'. We have to go to the back flap to detect the biblical orientation via a citation of his previously published 'God Will Make A Way'.There are wonderful biblical quotes that illustrate points made along the way and the context freshens our perceptions of biblical wisdom.The brief, but very helpful concluding chapter might be read first. Here, we get a little from the author on how he came to make a success of 'Success'. He very frankly offers 12 steps toward applying the 9 things, and the first is 'Do Not Go It Alone'. It seems Dr. Cloud came up in a community of like minded folk who could support each other's ambitions.In the absence of such support, 'you are not going to go far'.With chapter 12 in mind, you might very profitably read the book from front to back and keep it handy for future encouragement.
