The Best....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is by far the best "Self-Help" book, if you can call it that, that I have ever read. I originally purchased this book in 1997, and have read it several times since. The stories are very down to earth and realistic, as well as truly inspiring. This book is a "must read" for anyone suffering from depresssion, as it gives one hope in life. It is also great for anybody going through any changes in their lives because it shows the benefits of change itself. You can go back and refer to specific stories, or you may want to re-read the whole book like I did. A Great Book!!!

The best thing about "The Miracle of Change" is reading the real-life stories of people, both celebrities and non-celebrities. Each person talks about Change, how it affects them and how they learn from it. One of the most inspring was Michael J. Fox's story. People from all walks of life talk about their experiences.This book is a must for anyone going through any changes in their life. It will definately inspire you and give you strength.

This was a quick and involvng read for me. It got me to thinking about changes of all kinds in a more positive light. I would recommend this to anyone going through anything that seems like upheaval--whether it's divorce, job change, etc. It can help you to change your thinking from disaster to great opportunity that was meant to be.
A book full of wisdom and inspiration
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I start a lot of books I never finish but this one captivated and inspired me all the way through to the end. In fact, I was sad I had gotten to the end - I wanted more. If you feel your life is stagnant, not moving in the direction you'd like but fear making changes, this book is excellent, aromatic, finger licking good food for thought. If you're not an adamant protestor of change, it could very well be the kick you need to start you in forward motion. I'm the kind of person who kicks and screams and holds onto the door frame when it comes to accepting change, let alone welcoming it into my life (ha!). The changes, and hence the growth, have been very slow coming for me, but coming they are.I'm surprised there aren't any other reviews on this book. For me, it's a keeper, dear to my heart, and the rarest of books that I will come to again and again for strength, inspiration and motivation.Sometimes you find instant comradery in an author - this is true for me with Dennis Wholey - and I thank him for writing this book and touching my life.
