Very inspirational lecture , and many other insights from a different era by a "karma yogi" .. still has profound relevance in today's world .

Best book about Indian history

I am really happy and satisfied to buy this type of book.Its really impressive book.This book is the teacher of good things and fully filled with good thoughts and experience that conwell experienced in his life.The name of this book is sufficient for understanding it.

Acres of diamond is a wonderful book. The content is inspiring. yet the printing of this book and the price for te quality of printing is prohibitively high.Wilco always prices very high.The one star rating is for the printing finish and the quality of printing binding only

“Small but mighty”ily inspiring. A lot of barefaced truth that good Christians and believers should be aware of. Russell must have been very courageous to take a difficult stand in his teaching at that time in history.

If you read this book and it does not change your outlook on life and the goals in your life. Then you are missing the message in the wonderful book

Immortal wisdom of Dr. Conwell!!Napoleon Hill's books brought me to him, and I'm so thankful!

I'll give my review in two parts. 1st part of the book. - I loved it. I read the first part of it within probably 2 days though it can easily be done in a few hours. I was transfixed to the pages and had some lol moments. Even if the book was written in the 19th Century and some of the language shows that, it's so relevant to today and gave me a huge boost to think of what I can do that is already around me, to bring me the life I desire. This is the reason I give 5 stars.2nd part of the book - For me, this was a bit of a drag. As much as I wanted to read it and I eventually did and finished it - it was a slow process. There was a marked difference from the first part. The autobiography's author doesn't share the same humour and writing skills as Dr. Conwell and it shows so clearly. But am glad I stuck with it, because it gives an insight into what kind of man Dr. Conwell was and his life experiences some of which are just awesome. Shows that success comes to any man as long as they put in the work. The research that went into this part of the book and the depth to which the author goes in showing us Dr. Conwell, the man, are what makes me give 5 stars.

This was a suggested book and it did not disappoint.
