The Game: Win Your Life in 90 Days

I recently had the ability to listen to Sarano speak, and I have read his book. Outstanding to say the least. He helps YOU realize what YOUR potential is and he helps YOU open your eyes to what is holding you back from being the best you can be. In all honestly, he made me face the things that I hated to face, and didn't want too, more importantly the truth. After you realize what is holding you back, he gets you on track to make the changes you need to make, not in the future, but in the NOW. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to better themselves no matter if it professionally, personally, or spiritually.

I have been playing the game for over 90 days and the changes are amazing. I am more focused, relaxed and my business and perosnal relationships are being transfomred. Reading this book will dramatically change your life.

I played the game as a participant in the coaching program. It forever changed the way that I look at life. During the game I cleaned and reorganized closets, drawers and rooms. I built a zen garden in my backyard, painted a garden on my bedroom walls, reduced my body fat by 15% and increased my reading speed from 300 words per minute to 2600 words per minute. I recorded over 21,000 concious acts of will during the 90 days that I played the game. The value of choosing a partner for this game is immeasurable. It's good to have another person to be accountable to. This structure was very effective for me on those days that I was tempted to let a work-out slide or if I just didn't feel like completing on a committment. The book stresses the importance of structure, community and affinity in achieving goals. It guides the reader through exercises that help to put these in place. There are many real-life examples in the book from past "game" players. This clearly demonstrates that anyone can achieve their goals by putting the principles of The Game to work.The tone of the book is conversational, making it very easy to read. This is not just another self-help or motivational book. If you truly have the desire to realign your priorites and live your life with passion and purpose, you will enjoy this book.

Kelley's book covers a lot. I hope to do it justice while giving you a sense of what you'll find in it. First of all, there really is a "Game" that the author challenges and instructs you to play for 90 days (The game is very much like goal setting exercises transformed into a game you play with a partner). Kelley provides the rules, the scoring system, the strategies, and even a grand prize reward of $50,000 for whichever partner-team he deems to have changed their lives the most in 90 days. So what is the game? Well as the title implies, you are playing to improve your life dramatically. You choose the three or four areas you want to improve the most -- you are choosing from: Balance, Body and Health, Money, Relationships, Spiritual Life, Mind, Tools, Environment, Education, Family, Work, Charities, Hobbies, Interests, and Art. There is a chapter on each of these areas, full of excellent advice and true stories of previous game players, so that you have loads of strategies and inspiration to make your improvement. Let's say you read the book but opted to never register at the official website to play the game -- these chapters would still be worth the price. I liked the combination of smarts, specifics and spirituality woven into each one. But the originality of the book lies precisely in actually playing the game from start to finish -- from reading the book to turning in your final essay that extols your breakthroughs -- because the game provides an added motivation and support system that other books lack. My final comment would be this -- the books easily worth the price. The question is, once you read it, will you have the determination to play for 90 days? Realistically most won't -- it is a big challenge. But the ones who do will undoubtedly make major improvements. How could you not? Conscious, concentrated, focus on improvement for 90 days will change anyone's life. I humbly submit that if you are interested in succeeding, you will also like my book, Major in Success, especially for career or college success, it would be a great complement to Sarano's excellent book.

Mr. Kelley provides a great conversation about all those 'messes, what-tos and to-dos' rattle around in mind. Why do we carry these for years and never perform? You know the lists: I have always wanted to get in shape, I'd really like a better relationship with my daughter, I should learn those cell phone features... and the like. Where do these come from and why are they always so frustratingly just out of reach?More important than recognizing these frustrations, Mr. Kelley provides an elegant solution. In the form of a Game, a very special game, he challenges and empowers us to climb life's mountains whether actual or symbolic. This book is not about theory. It is a wake-up call and a will get you too to perform. In the end, like with all good games, there is a PRIZE.The book is well written and easily read. It is full of personal stories from both Mr. Kelley and from his clients built up over years of coaching successful people to even higher performance. And, along the way you will learn some timeless lessons about what it is to be human. A future Classic.
