Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential
Houston televangelist Joel Osteen is well qualified to write this book, having used the seven principles he shares to achieve his own "rags-to-riches" story. At the heart of Osteen's message is that achieving a successful, prosperous life of fulfillment can only occur when we stop worrying about the past or future to make the most of each present moment by using our God-given strengths and talents to achieve our goals. The key to doing so are the seven steps Osteen outlines: Enlarge Your Vision, Develop a Healthy Self-Image, Discover the Power of Your Thoughts and Words, Let go of the Past, Find Strength Through Adversity, Live to Give, and Choose to Be Happy. Mixing biblical teachings with his own personal experiences, Osteen explains each of these seven steps in an encouraging, optimistic manner that makes them accessible to anyone interested in principles of personal growth. Although written with a Christian slant, the seven steps Osteen shares will have value to anyone wanting to know more about practical steps of self-betterment, regardless of their denomination.--Larry Trivieri Jr.

If you read this book and act on the author's suggestions, you'll feel better about things, your life, yourself, and your future. Osteen, leader of the non-denominational Lakewood Church in Houston, has been unfairly criticized by the media who portray him as some sort of huckster. It's obvious he profits from his ministry, but read the book and you'll understand why. Osteen's approach is gentle, positive, and uplifting. His teachings have greatly enriched the practice of my own faith, Roman Catholicism, and helped me to discover the treasures contained in Holy Scripture. There is also a book of devotionals based on this book. The chapters are brief enough to fit into a busy day, and both books offer a jumping off point to a more faith filled life. If you tend toward pessimism, you will greatly benefit from this book. If your spiritual life feels stale, this one's for you. If God is simply some vague unknown concept, He won't be after this book. A friend gave me Osteen's first two books nearly three years ago, and I found them to be life-changing . I keep them close by for those difficult times when I need a some encouragement.

I wish I could give it zero stars
rating: 1
This book literally makes me nauseous. It is such a horrendous corruption of the Gospel that I don't even know what to say about it.
In a nutshell: you cannot believe a word of this book if you have ever read the Bible
Those who believe the ideas put forth in this book will have to ask themselves why missionaries and the persecuted church are being so unbiblical by not living their "best life now"

Amazing!
rating: 5
I have to tell you how eerie (sp?) the book was in timing! Each chapter I read seemed to address something taking place in my life at that very moment. There was a chapter that addressed not putting question marks where God puts periods...which diverted me off of a downsliding path that could have led to real destruction. I recommend this book to EVERYONE.

I would rather read the book. The tone of the audio is not what I expected but it is o.k. if you don't have time to read.
