I was recommended by a good friend to read the book, in which he has read it three times! The concepts are very simple, but has a lot of breadth to them.
For me, it answered a lot of questions...it was the icing on the cake. From a business point of view it has facilitated opportunities because I was able to convey what I knew to prospective clients.
Further, the way the book is laid out it is very congruent and flows quite well.
Myrl knows his stuff and once you get into it you'll know why...
Cheers
P.S. The actual book comes with a CD which is vital...
