Touches on all the important subjects
this book is good and easy to read. Having read a few books on self-improvement, I recognized a lot of important subjects. The author presents these in an easy-going way and really does his best to build the reader up along the way.So why only four stars? The answer lies in the word "touches" in the title of my review. The book doesn't contain all that much text. The author skims past about 50 subjects, each of which deserver a book in their own right.
The again, you want to improve your life, (probably) not get a Ph.D. in psychology. So, if you feel that you could do with some wise and credible words from a man who's been there, go ahead and buy this book. If you, after reading, feel that you're still stuck in a rut, then look further, cause there's a lot more in-depth material out there.

Well worth reading, acting upon, and sharing
'This Is Your Life, Not a Dress Rehearsal' inspires the reader to become pro-active about his life and then provides the techniques and tools to change the course of his life. For years I had allowed myself to drift down the river of life allowing the current to control my course. Jim Donovan has shown me how I can take control and change the course of my life. This book provided and provides me with many insights into discovering who I am and the means to become who I would like to be. For instance, after reading Chapter 2, I discovered how I limited myself by beliefs I had acquired as a child. Beliefs that were not true. From Donovan I learned how to challenge those beliefs, those false limits, and remove them. Is this book worth it? Absolutely. In fact, I have given away at least a half dozen to friends. Many read it the same day and called me to tell me how much it meant to them. I have used this book as a study guide for an adult Sunday School class. And I continue to use it on a daily basis.

Definitely a book worth reading
Donovan manages to pack a plethora of self help principals in a relatively thin book of just over 100 pages. At the beginning of every year, I reread this book, and by following it's advice I have achieved more success in my life. His guidelines for goal setting are particularly powerful. I belive that if people really follow this book's advice, they will achieve success as well. Similar Products
