Easy to read, free of jargon, thought provoking and purposeful - a book for those people serious about life improvement - so LET'S DO IT!

Curly Martin tops off a terrific trilogy in her “handbook' series with an intensive examination of the multi-faceted & elusive gem we know as personal success.

Here we are not only introduced to a whole host of subjects that can enhance our lives, but are treated to Curly's very own RAWPOWER model, borne from over two decades of her own personal success. I found this to be a highly useful tool that I could apply instantly to my life to help expedite success.

The Personal Success Handbook is written in Curly's warm & absorbing style once again, which makes the subject matter breathe with her fresh perspective & delightful humour. It offers the reader plenty of opportunity to reflect on what is being presented, as well as encouragement to take action to move us forward on our journey to success ” something not always present in books of this nature.

One of Curly's many strengths is her ability to put across (complicated) Information in an easy to understand manner.

The Personal Success Handbook is fun,informative and potentially life-changing.

If you like personal development books, you really must add this to your collection. This book has an easy to read and use format with chapter synopsis at the start of each chapter, followed by inspiring stories to illuminate the topic, quick reference self questioning boxes throughout, a call to action at the end of the chapters and your very own action plan page.

This book, written in such an infectious and enthusiastic style, is extremely easy to pick up and read. It has approached the subject in a straightforward and logical manner, breaking it down into thought provoking readily digestible, manageable sections. Approaching the subject, as I did, with little knowledge of life-coaching, one cannot fail but to have one's usual mindset challenged and to be inspired and stimulated onto a path of self-analysis and diagnosis and self-improvement and increased personal aspiration.
