I LOVE the way Mr. Fisher has combined true life lessons and secrets into this easy to read and understand story. There is so much for the mind to absorb from reading this beautifully written book. The true secrets of life -and it goes way past material wealth -are reavealed in this book. I found this book, -well actually this book found me- at the library when I was searching for another book in the fiction section. I noticed it and thought it looked interesting, so I checked it out, and couldn't believe what a treasure I had found! This is a book that I want to read over and again. An Excerpt from the book: "What you write has to reveal what is great about humanity. You have to show how people can attain their own greatness, how they can regain their lost nobility, how having turned to sheep, they can become lions again. Show God resides in each and every one of us...."
Lessons for everyone to read. :-)

I think the author was genious to think of using age-old pholosophies on success and incorporating them into a story. I have read many books on success, but this one was very refreshing. I am working on a project and this story breathed new life into me, at a time when I needed it! I'm ready to tackle my days in a different way. It was very motivational!It was so inspiring...I had to read it again a day later! I came across this book by shear accident and I'm glad I did! I had no idea it was a story! It's very educational and lessons for us all to use. I saw someone rated this book a one and said it was the worst book he had ever read. I disagree! There is a lot of viable information one can learn from reading this book. My philosophy is, even if you learn one thing from reading a book, magazine, news paper, etc.....it was worth the price it cost! Obviously, this person missed the entire message the author was conveying. I am going to buy copies for my friends. It's light easy reading with dynomite lessons for all to learn! Good work Mark... :)
A story of hope and ecouragement

This is the story of John, a lost soul in a dilbert episode from hell. What John discovers is not only Love, Happiness and Money; but that each is interchangeable. The book reads as a fable and will grasp any reader who ever worked in a thankless big city job. I couldn't help but draw comparisons to Jay McInerney's insightful 80's novel "Bright Lights Big City." This book had that edge.I've read many self help books on finance and was able to triple my income in 5 years. Money is a strange intangable / tangable. Simmiliar to how light is a photon and exhibits properties of waves and particles simultanously.I became engrossed in this book and finnished it off in two nights. Enjoy!
wonderfully uplifting and motivational

Having read many motivational and self help books I found Fisher to be in a league of his own. Alhough I was frustrated at times, doubting the 'miracles' that occured, perhaps this was due to my own lack of true "concentration" and "faith". For anyone feeling a loss of hope, in need of inspiration or just after a good read, John Blake's story will help and satisy.
