Tom Pace

There is always a danger that books in this genre will be nothing more than chest-thumping hype. Fortunately, Pace manages to turn a simple story into real fuel for motivation.

Unlike much of the current self-help literature, there are no miracles, or allusions to quantum physics. There's not a word about ignoring reality, but there is plenty of challenge. Not only does the Kid confront big real-world problems, but so does the CEO. The Kid actually mentors his mentor. Unlike so much of the show more success literature, the question is asked, "would you rather be successful or would you rather be significant?" show less

This book has larger print and so its a bit of a shorter book but let me tell you it is worth the read! Not something to be missed. Wow! I started reading this book about a kid getting out of jail and his mentor helping him to become a successful person, totally turning his life around. I can't emphasize enough the importance of reading this book! I couldn't put it down and I will definitely be keeping this book-not lending it to anyone (sorry, can't take the risk of not getting it back! show more LOL)-and definitely re-reading it to refresh my memory of all the important points and precious tips that were included. show less

Not really as mystery --more a crime novel, since we see the villllains' side as well as the hero's. Man on honeymoon with sexy wife finds Spanish gold coins off the Florida Keys. Wife is kidnapped by very bad guy who wants more gold. A lot of tough stuff and doublecrossing on the bad guy's side. Ultimately man gets wife back.

great book, very inspiring. Uses the same principles as the secret.
