User Reviews about 50 Ways to Create Great Relationships: How to Stop Taking and Start Giving

This book is a must! read....

Mr.Steve Chandler is a God send.

It's like having a conversation with your closet dearest friend...I enjoyed every chapter! and his insights on life and relationships with others and with self are profound yet simple to understand and put into effect right away in your life.

I wonder if he was ever on Oprah!...if not he should be because soooo many more people need to hear/read his words/books...also powerful reads...his other books...
"100 ways to motivate yourself" and "reinventing Yourself".....

But I tell you this! book alone is worth getting and chapter "25"...(climb your Ladder)!....is worth! getting the book for alone...

Mr. Chandler if you ever see this review....I'd just like to say...thankyou....you have helped me see myself! and my life! in a way that has made me a better person for all I come in contact with...again, thank you and God Bless you always.


Thankful from,

First of all, I can't believe this book is out of print. Second of all, I'm stunned that this author isn't a household name. I rarely write reviews, but I can't really say that any more b/c this is the second review I've written for this author in as many weeks. I found the authors latest book, The Story of You (wonderful!!!) and a previous book of his, Reinventing Yourself (just as wonderful!!!) to be absolutely phenomenal stuff. Brand new ideas, at least I've never heard anyone talk about these subjects in the way he does - and I read tons of these types of books. This stuff is absolute gold. I bought this book from a 3rd party as a used book and encourage you to do the same. The dust jacket is awful looking, I ditched that right away. It looked very 70's and very cheesy, which is strange b/c this book was published in 2000. Weird. Many people do judge books by their covers (even though we're not supposed to (ha ha), I have a background in graphic design and am a total snob about these things :) But I'm not even halfway through this book and I'm *loving* what I'm reading and feeling compelled to write a reveiw. What a find! Now I want to order a copy for a friend of mine so I'll again order one from a third party on Amazon. It's crazy that this book is out of print! In case the author reads this review; I would have ordered the audio cd's as well, but they are abridged. My question is why? This isn't a very long book, why not record every wonderful word? -- Incredible book!!!

This is a must for every couple and for everyone that has to deal with people, which is all of us... -- Excellent

I thought I was ordering the book and ended up with the CD's instead. Good mistake, it gave me something to listen to during my hour commute to work each morning. It's clear that we create the life & relationships we want. Coercing and manipulating people to do what you want them to do and be what you want them to be doesn't work. It's difficult enough trying to change the things that irritate me about myself, wonder why I ever thought it was a good idea to try to change other people? -- For ALL relationships

A couple years ago the author of this book (who didn't know me, nor I him) sent me a free copy. I have no idea why...

...but I am thankful now that he did. It sat on my shelf for about two years. But I eventually picked it up with the desire to become more "relationship oriented."

The chapters are nice and short -- they can be ingested in about twenty minutes. That's very convenient for me. He also does a fine job making profound relationship-truths simple to understand.

This books has been a great help to me.

Like a little seed that Steve planted in my life, it is now shooting up and bringing forth good fruit.

Thanks for the book, Steve! -- It has helped me
