<strong>A must Read for all ages</strong>, review on Amazon.com by Carla Taylor: &quot;I first read this book before the Simple Keys were added. It was a quick and easy read, and the instructions were easy to follow. Then when I was met with obstacles and what I wanted wasn't happening, I gave up on the principles of the book. Then I received this updated edition with the Simple Keys added. Some of this new information was the answers I needed when my goals seemed out of reach or too hard to get.The chapter on Self Worth is an important chapter. This chapter helped me to see where I was unconsciously short circuiting my own efforts. This chapter identifies several self defeating thoughts and behaviors that have been preventing me from having the results I wanted. The author kept this book intentionally short in page count, but still packed full of information. The original message is more clear and results more attainable with the added Simple Keys.&quot;<br /><br /><strong>Excellent starter book and great refresher, </strong>review on Amazon.com by Stephanie Hawkins &quot;Soul Warrior&quot;: &quot;I've re-read this book several times. My pages are dog eared and I have run out of space to journal even through the book has space for journaling in every chapter. It is a self discovery and a how-to manual. On one level it is a simple message that has been said over and over by many teachers, and on a deeper level there are tools to better integrate the depth of the message into real results. One chapter touches on the impact self esteem has on our results in life and suggestions how to begin restructuring it. It's a short but powerful read; a great beginning for someone new on the path of consciously creating their life, and a great reminder for anyone who needs to clear the dust again.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Quick, easy to read, understand and follow the instructions</strong>, review on Amazon.com by Paula Traverse</span>: &quot;I appreciate that Davenport enhances the original works and acknowledges the original author of It Works. The material that Davenport has added to the original text makes this book a greater learning as well as reference tool. Several times as I find myself in an emotionally difficult place, not moving forward in my life, I can refer back to one of the tools, referred to as &quot;keys&quot; in this book and find an exercise that will help me get out of my rut and begin moving forward again. So many jewels in each chapter.&quot;
