First class and Top Rated
This is an excellent book, I would hasten to add that the pledge is far far more than a business or a personal development book. This a blueprint for success. If the advice and blue print laid out is implemented this has life changing potential. Seriously!! The author has the credibility and proven track record to write with Authority on the subject and share his success system. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this for those serious about success.

Long Time Fans Won't Love This Book
This book is a good, easy and enjoyable to read. It's full of thought provoking suggestions and ideas. I like that it takes emphasis off wealth creation to focus more on quality of life and creating an ideal average day. I love when he shares what happens in his day and how certain things like 15 minutes of Yoga and a protein shake are rewards for himself after some work. I have been following his early to rise and productivity secrets for years and my day, while different, is structured in a similar way to his days and it's tremendously powerful. And reading what he sees as a reward is a cool way to give yourself perspective.And if you're looking to get unstuck in your life I do believe it can help. There are some great tools, exercises and stories in here to inspire you and give you what I think is a much needed perspective in the world full of get rich quick promises and I need it now mentalities.So if I like the book and think it's good and useful why the 3 star rating? Well - if this was the only thing I had ever read from Michael Masterson I probably would have given this a 4, but I have read every business book he's written. His ideas have changed my business and my life. I am a HUGE fan and admirer of him and his work.But, as a long time fan of Michael Masterson, I would highly recommend so many of his other books before I would recommend this one. I am a pretty practical person and feel that books like Automatic Wealth and 7 Years to 7 Figures have FAR better applications than this one. I like the tone and overall message of this but just feel Automatic Wealth is a game changing book for anybody that takes it and uses it. This book plants seeds that you may harvest later but I bet most people will read it, enjoy the read and move on. Lives remaining the same. It really depends what you're looking for in a book, but for me, this isn't as hard hitting, to the point or as structured as some of his others. (Automatic wealth being my personal fave)Plus I had read at least half of this book before - whether through his newsletters or his other books. It felt fairly regurgitated to me. I kept waiting for the big new idea or the cool story I didn't know and it wasn't there.If you're new to Michael Masterson or you have only read a bit of his stuff to date then you will probably REALLY like this book - but I would still suggest you pick up one of his other books first!! :)

Abundant life is now yours for the taking...
Michael Masterson has been a long-time favorite. I've enjoyed his newsletter and other books and would recommend them too, but this book is a bit different. It is more of his life and life ideals. An abundant life if more than wealth...and more than just enjoying life more. He helps the reader to figure out what they were meant to do so they can be congruent and therefore have a deeper inner sense of satisfaction.In "The Pledge," Masterson takes the strategies that he has used and put them forth as a system to follow...almost like a recipe. He also provides tools that can be used to "discover" yourself. It is a way of engaging your mind and heart as you create a better and more fulfilling plan for your life.I felt "The Pledge" was inspirational as well as motivational. It reminded me that you do have to work and add value to the world around you, but that when you work hard in the right way, the level of success is higher and it comes to you naturally. Your quality of life is much more to your satisfaction all the time, because people were meant to help other people.I would highly recommend getting this book along with another that I read early this year and has meant a lot to me. It seems that there are a lot of similarities between what Masterson writes here and the concept of Serendipity as described by Madeleine Kay. The book I'm referring to is Serendipitously Rich: How to Get Delightfully, Delectably, Deliciously Rich (or Anything Else You Want) in 7 Ridiculously Easy Steps. It too moves you positively on a path of change in your life and it also gives you practical steps that teach you how to make decisions based on serendipity.
