1) Paperback Book The Saint, the Surfer, and the CEO: A Remarkable Story About Living Your Heart's Desires by Hay House. The story is heart-warming and a lot of the philosphies are very practical and helpful. I felt the book was a little preachy at times and looked at everything from a high perspective. I think that is what you get with a book like this- a broad, broad range of advice. You can not incorporate everything you learn but if you can take a few points, it is very beneficial. I like a lot of the quotes that were used. Very thought-provoking. All in all, good advice, the story itself is a little unbelievable but a fun ride.¤

2) Paperback Book The Saint, the Surfer, and the CEO: A Remarkable Story About Living Your Heart's Desires by Hay House. There is nothing worse than buying a book only to have your time wasted, which is how I felt after having forced myself to finish this book. I should have known better. The only good chapter is chapter one, which mislead me to believe the rest of the book would also be good. The characters are poorly developed and I had to wonder if the author had ever taken a writing class. The main character, who is on a journey to discover the meaning of his life and his heart´s desires, never really quite gets there. He spends time with a saint, surfer and CEO, hence the title of the book. But throughout the book we never really see or feel the main character´s development. We are just lead to believe in the final chapter that the main character was somehow suddenly transformed. The main character´s dialog is lame with quite a few meaningless one-liners, such as, "that´s unbelievable," and "how insightful." I would have enjoyed feeling the main character´s development and how he applied the wisdom that was shared with him. While I think you can find some inspirational quotes and messaging in the book, the story line itself was disappointing. Admittedly, I bought the book for the clever title while on a vacation retreat of my own. However, this is a good example of the fact that you can´t judge a book by its cover. Not only do I not recommend this book, but I would never buy another book written by this author.¤

3) Paperback Book The Saint, the Surfer, and the CEO: A Remarkable Story About Living Your Heart's Desires by Hay House. I enjoyed this book. It is a compilation of helpful and inspirational thoughts and ideas from all the other books and tapes currently marketed. Kind of a "cliffs notes" of self-discovery.

The author sets the fictional story in a hospital where an accident victim is recovering. He is met by his father, who he has not seen in decades, and his father gives him some advice and a letter before the father passes away. The letter contains details on three life coaches the son must go meet so he can learn and uncover his true self.

The first coach is a priest in Rome. The priest teaches him how to live wisely, using a metaphor of a stained glass window. You see life colored by your perceptions, like looking through a stained glass window you see things colored by the glass. Change your perceptions and life changes.

The second coach is the surfer, who teaches him how to love well. He teaches him to stop living in his head and start living in his heart. Live in the moment and enjoy what is happening right now. Everything you do comes from a place of love or a place of fear. Where are your thoughts coming from right now.

The third coach is a CEO of a brokerage firm. She teaches him how to serve greatly. Telling him you can get anything you want in life if you just help enough other people get what they want, and you must conduct yourself with the utmost integrity.

The majority of this book I have read or heard in other places. Its not new material, but it is presented in a new way. One part of the book talks about how every meeting with another person is your chance to learn something new. If you keep meeting up with people who are filled with problems or complaints, its because they are being sent to you so you can learn a lesson that you need right now. They will continue to be sent to you, UNTIL you learn these lessons.

I guess that makes sense. Maybe this book came my way because it contains a lesson I still need to learn?¤

4) Paperback Book The Saint, the Surfer, and the CEO: A Remarkable Story About Living Your Heart's Desires by Hay House. This was a great book and i really enjoyed the story. I did feel that it was very "simple" and rolled a lot of the messages that one learns along the way (and is looking for it) into one and have the feeling that i couldve saved a lot of time and money just by reading this book first.
Nonetheless, it was a very good book - easy read, very simple and extremely helpful. It made me think about some things and i "feel" good after reading it.¤

5) Paperback Book The Saint, the Surfer, and the CEO: A Remarkable Story About Living Your Heart's Desires by Hay House. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is written as a fictional story, but it is chock-full of wisdom and inspiration.

This book is about determining what really matters in life- not money, not material posessions, but the real stuff of life. The main character meets with three inspirational coaches who each offer a slightly different perspective and different advice on living an extraordinary life.

As a Professional Life Coach, I am always looking for books with deep wisdom and useful metaphors. I read this book with my highlighter in hand and I soon found that I had highlighted nearly the entire book! This is a book I will definitely read again and will recommend to my clients.

The information in this book is not new. Many other self-help books contain similar words of wisdom and advice. What was new about this book was the fact that it was an entertaining and easy read. It also contained many metaphors and examples that made it easy to relate to the concepts presented.

This is a wonderful book for anyone who is searching for meaning in their life. Give yourself time to really absorb the concepts and apply them to your life. You may find your life and your world transformed as a result.¤
