"The Laws and Secrets of Success"  http://www.thelawsandsecretsofsuccess.com/

Description of book: Think about this: With all of the success books out there, why don't we have more successful people? 

    Too many success books simply rehash conventional wisdom. The truly great success books, such as "Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich", instead enable life-changing success breakthroughs because they identify and describe in powerful detail the thinking patterns and principles of the world's most successful individuals. 

    The only way to do this is to study the world's most successful individuals, as Napoleon Hill has done. 

--And, as I have done as well. 

     For over two decades I have devoted myself to studying and interviewing the most successful individuals across varying fields, so that I could see and learn for myself the principles which set them apart in terms of their success. 

--And that is what I share with you here. 

    Get ready to throw out many of the things that you thought you knew about success! 

    Let's start at the beginning with a simple truth. Success is hard…Very hard, very, very, very, very hard. We all know that, once we have had a little bit of experience and are honest with ourselves. We all want to be more successful, but let's face it sometimes we just don't know how. It's because, as they say, "we don't know what we don't know". 

    So we make the same mistakes over and over again (often without fully realizing it until later). And, then we blame ourselves (or others) in regard to why things didn't turn out as we had hoped, or planned. 

     It's this simple: If you want to increase your level of success, read this book. We all go through the same struggles. This book - simply but powerfully - is your instruction manual on how to overcome them. 

    Read this book, and in 60 days you won't even recognize the person you used to be. And, neither will your family and friends. This is the type of change that allows you to get the things you really want in life. 

    The things that were previously outside of your reach; the things you saw others gain and achieve, but never seemed to be able to get for yourself. That can change today! 

    We all know that a few better ideas can accelerate one's success substantially. 

    Successful people take their better ideas and know how to leverage them further - and execute them better - than other people do. 

    Once you understand the processes that successful people utilize to do this, you can very quickly ramp up your own success as well. 

    Everybody struggles. Successful people struggle just like unsuccessful people, but they learn and use the success principles to overcome the difficulties in their lives to reach their goals. Success breeds confidence, making it easier over time. If you don't want to keep making the same mistakes over and over and over again, you need to understand and understand well what these success principles are. That is what this book will provide for you.

Last question, if someone comes across this article and reads it, what would you like to tell them about why you think they should try reading your book or books? (Basically, what can you offer them in the way of information or entertainment)?     

Many people have found that this book,  
"The Laws and Secrets of Success"  http://www.thelawsandsecretsofsuccess.com/ has greatly contributed to their increased success.

Anything else you'd like to add that I didn't ask you, but you would like to share with our readers?

Blog Writer's Note to Author: I have to say that I was extremely amazed by your about me author page on amazon.com, and discovering that you once ran for Governor in your state of Maine.  I definitely had to purchase your book: "The Laws and Secrets of Success".  As a person who recently became unemployed and have been trying to become successful as a self-employed person, I'm hoping this book will help guide me along my path to success.  I hope others will check it out.  With a new year upon us I think we can all use a little guidance in the area of becoming successful.  Good Luck with your books, and thanks for the interview.
