The Principles Always Work If You Work the Principles

Get ready to transform yourself for success. Jack Canfield, cocreator of the phenomenal bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, turns to the principles he's studied, taught, and lived for more than 30 years in this practical and inspiring guide that will help any aspiring person get from where they are to where they want to be.

The Success Principles™ will teach you how to increase your confidence, tackle daily challenges, live with passion and purpose, and realize all your ambitions. Not merely a collection of good ideas, this book spells out the 64 timeless principles used by successful men and women throughout history. And the fundamentals are the same for all people and all professions -- even if you're currently unemployed. It doesn't matter if your goals are to be the top salesperson in your company, become a leading architect, score straight A's in school, lose weight, buy your dream home, or make millions of dollars–the principles and strategies are the same.

From learning these basics, you can then tackle the important inner work needed to transform yourself. After this inner work, you can turn to building a "success team" and the important ways of transforming your relationships for lasting success. Finally, because success always includes a financial dimension, you can learn to develop a positive money consciousness along with the habits that will ensure that you have enough to live the lifestyle you want, while keeping the importance of tithing and service central to your financial practice. Taken together and practiced every day, these principles will transform your life beyond your wildest dreams!

Filled with memorable and inspiring stories of CEO's, world-class athletes, celebrities, and everyday people, The Success Principles™ will give you the courage and the heart to start living the principles of success today. Go for it!

    I discovered Jack Canfield through the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. I love reading but don't have time to read more than two books per month so I bought this audio book. I love it! Jack has an upbeat voice and a contagious positive attitude. I listen to The Success Principles as I drive to work, and it fills me with energy and motivation. The principles are simple to apply and touch many areas: goal setting, action planning, finance, and many more. Listening to it on my way home also gives me time to relax and focus on myself.

    Jack talks about each principle in only 10 to 15 minutes so no matter what your commute is, you can listen to him and gain from it! I have no problem stopping in the middle of a principle as my auto radio starts it back exactly where I stopped... very much like a book.

    I asked my daughter, 15, to listen to one of the principles with me, which talked about visualization. It helped her through her tests :-)

    Congratulations Jack for your great work! And I hope I can hear you in person one day when you come to France or Switzerland for a conference.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book has been life-changing for me, my family, and my small business.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2015

    The audio version of The Success Principles was recommended to me by my business coach. It is read by Jack Canfield himself. He has a great reading voice; so not only is the material excellent, but it's pleasant to listen to as well. (It's so irritating when the material is great but the reader's voice is grating!) I can not express to you how much the principles have impacted my life in a positive way, and I highly recommend this book as an inspirational, motivational, educational resource.

    The first three principles can be difficult to hear because they are about YOU taking responsibility for your life instead of blaming others for your circumstances. After that, they become more and more empowering; by the end, you really do understand how much you ARE capable of achieving, and you feel motivated to take action. I've listened to the book several times now and I plan on doing so periodically for the rest of my life.

    I highly recommend this book for ages 14 and up. My daughter is 7 and she actually requests to listen to him sometimes, because the stories he tells are interesting and easy-to-understand. I've incorporated the principles into my daily life and share them with my employees as well. Both my husband and I feel that we are better parents, business owners, managers, and leaders because of The Success Principles.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive, Inspiring Text on Living Your Best Life
    Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I’ve read Chicken Soup for the Soul, seen him in The Secret, listened to one of his free audio talks, and have generally associated Canfield as a self help A-lister. I’ve always liked his approachable, easy to understand style this book is no different. It outlines 64 principles for living a life of passion, purpose and success covering everything from goal setting to friendships to facing your fears to managing your money. For those of you who have read countless self help books, you’ll likely have heard many of them before. I certainly skimmed through a number of chapters, while others I found more valuable.

    The length of the book is certainly overwhelming, but it is divided into chapters that are brief and concise. Canfield injects lots of exercises and processes into the book making it difficult to keep up (I did some, ignored others), but they are worthwhile. The Success Principles covers everything, so if you’re looking to focus on a very specific topic, this isn’t the right read for you. But it is a great book to have in your library, one to turn to for inspiration and one worth coming back to, especially when there’s a topic you want insight on or challenge that you’re looking to work through.

    Anyone looking to improve themselves and their lives will love this book. Written in easy to understand format with many real life stories of people just like us who have turned their lives around, this book is very inspiring. It gives a can do, positive attitude to the person reading it---making them want to make things happen and know that they can be successful if they just put these principles into place in their lives. I would recommend this book to anyone, any age---it applies to young people, middle aged, and senior people! Jack Canfield is a great writer and he has a winner in this book!

    A friend suggested I try some 'success books', and I tried a couple. Found them either boring, or the author too full of himself to impress me. As a novelist, I found my way to some other author's sight (can't remember who, now), and she thanked Jack Canfield and his Success Principles. Wow! This is a life-changer. I am implementing his strategies, especially visualization and goal setting and it is making a huge difference in my writing, my personal life, and most important, my outlook on the world. I always thought that I was a happy person, but I am even happier now with clear goals, knowing I will achieve the level of success I deserve and envision for myself. I bought the Kindle edition, but I loved this book so much that I also ordered the 'real' book. I wish I had heard of these ideas decades ago, it would have saved me so much pain, so much money, and my life would have been vastly different. But you take things as they come, and I am grateful that the Universe had blessed me with the gift of Jack Canfield. I highly recommend this book. These principles should be a required class in every high school in America. The world would be a thousand percent better in one generation.
