The Official Guide to Success

I first read this book over 3 years ago and it has helped change my life for the better. I am now well on the way to achieveing things 5 years ago I thought impossible. Thank you Tom.

I really liked this book alot. It gives a concise and specific plan for anyone willing to reach their goals in life. This is not a very long book, (less than 200 pages) however, I was distracted a lot of the time I was reading. I will definitely read this one again. I also have Tom's book- How To Master The Art Of Selling, but have not yet read it. If it's as good as this I look forward to studying it. Some self-help authors come across as either self-righteous or dry, Tom has a very entertaining style which any avid readers of success books will appreciate.

I read this book in 1985 when I was starting a business and was scared to death most of the time. Hopkins' excellent suggestions for enthusiasm, time management, and motivation really helped me get through those tough times. Some of my evangelical Christian friends felt that the book was too humanistic, teaching reliance on power from within yourself rather than relying on a "higher power", but I did not find that to be a problem in spite of my personal philosophy. Regardless of one's spiritual walk, Hopkins' book can be a very ready guide. I recommend it to anyone who is trying to make their personal or business life more successful.

I was able to read this book a few years back. I'm not in sales but was able to use Mr. Hopkins' structured guide to achieve success (whichever way you define it), and feel I'm on the right path. I've read it many times and have loaned it to people I care about.
