    interesting and intriguing concepts to examine.

    You will find it hard NOT to take anything away from such an array of the finest self help books in this collection. The most valuable thing about having it in audio form is that you can revisit sections which are most meaningful to you to get a deeper understanding of chosen concepts that can guide you in your self help exploration. This in turn, tantalising your taste buds, may lead you to purchase specific books; continuing some teachings. Enjoy and be enlightened.

    Excellent summary

    Read a few of these books already.Ideal to have this distilled in this way as many of the themes are common to all of these books

    Priceless Knowledge

    This book has so much to offer. It's perfect for listening to on the go and helps me to feel centered and be inspired, no matter where I am, or what I am doing. I really can't recommend it enough. Many of my friends and family are buying copies after seeing the positive impact it has had on me.

    Great Overviews

    I really enjoyed this audiobook. It's always going to cause a bit of division when one does the whole 'top 50 thing'. Where is Jim Rohn? Where is Jack Canfield?....I could go on and on as to the obvious omissions here. Nevertheless the 50 chosen are a great introduction to the books (some old favorites and new ones here!) - and more importantly the people and lives behind them- that can and do change lives for the better. It's true that this is very general and at times some of the obvious messages in the books are omitted. Nevertheless, there is enough to give the listener of good gist of the key ideas/ concepts. My only other gripe is that whilst very clearly read, the reader does sound a bit like a used-car salesman which can (falsely) seem to limit the authenticity.

    A book review not a summary.

    I would stress this isn?t a summary of the 50 best self-help books, more a review of the ideas behind them, about the authors, and the impact the books had. Felt the author must have been restricted due to copyright reasons and had been briefed to describe the books without out mentioning any of the practical wisdom within them!

    Any ideas seemed to be described on a more philosophical level, which wasn?t particularly useful, & not explained clearly in the short slot allocated for each book. I didn?t recognize the books I had already read in full.

    On a plus side I came away with ideas for further reading.
