Life changing
I was drawn to Gegax' book by the glowing enticements of Publisher's Weekly, articles in the New York Times, Fast Company,and a piece that aired on CNBC. After having the pleasure of experiencing his book I was charmed by his ideas. He has a whole new way of looking at and integrating life and work in our modern society. It is beautiful that there is discussion in the book on "Determining Your Mission". Gegax has shared his own story. After determining his life's mission, he has turned his life into one filled with love,and joy. The timing of his book coming into my awareness is perfect for me with the coming of the year 2000. I plan to implement Gegax' "Seven Take Action Steps to Manifest Your Mission" for the new year. It is comforting to know that there is a formula that can act as a quide to help me make my life more fully enriched.

Truly Outstanding book for those seeking powerful living
Having experienced more than my share of "enlightening" coaching, seminars, experiences in my professional and personal life, I give Tom a resounding "5 stars" for a book that is currently and very powerfully changing the course of my life. What Tom has been able to do in this book, is to present a very realistic and usable road map "out" of the "normal" day to day grind that most of us (if we are willing to be honest about it) quietly suffer through. If only read, the book is entertaining and useful, but to me its real power is in using and applying its contents. In many other "how to" books and disciplines, we are left to follow rather strict and limiting paths...no so in this book. I find it extremely easy to apply in my day to day life and yet it hits very,very hard at the heart of things....once again, if you are willing to avail yourself of that. For anyone seeking coaching in having your life work out alot better than it currently is........grab this book and devote time and energy to its contents...you will be glad you did. If you get this book and it does not provide you a wealth of useful and impacting value...then you are probably comitted to a life of misery. There's alot of books out there that deliver the promise of gold but very few that truly deliver the road map to get it.....this is one of them..

Solid
This is an interesting book for someone who is just starting on a personal improvement plan. The best part about it is that Gegax's approach is holistic - he really has a strong understanding of the connection between the mind, body and spirit. The writing style is smooth and the book is easy to read. The concepts all make sense and he gives a clear plan for readers to follow in applying his steps. The parts I found most useful were the first two sections, on personal mission statements and action planning. After that, I found the book was at turns too simplistic and too far out there for me.The caution I would give people in reading this book is two-fold. First, Gegax writes in a very autobiographical style. I learned more about him and his personal trials and tribulations than I wanted to; I'm the type of reader who prefers more theory and fewer examples. Secondly, as someone who has already read Stephen Covey and a host of other self-help/health authors, I found that alot of what Gegax had to say was old news to me.
This isn't a bad self help book to have. Some people will really value having a book that encompasses physical, emotional and mental health, and the connection between them, in one volume. If you don't mind the oversimplifications that can result in trying to bring such a range of material together, and you're interested in these sorts of issues, you may find the book of value.
