I have been listening to Jack Canfield for years on my car stereo. I bought Dare To Win (Jack and Mark Victor Hansen) years ago and have listened to it many times during the long, dark drive up and down the 400 or 404 (highways around Toronto). This January I bought The Success Principles and have listened to it several times already, especially the first hour. I also own The Power of Focus, but do not have it on cd so I'll leave that out for now.
Here's the thing. I hate sappy stories. They make me cry. Every time. Not only do I hate having to cry (which is a whole other story) but it makes it really awkward to keep driving. And if you have read any of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series you know that his stories are full-on sap. Also, I find Jack's voice kind of annoying (there, I said it, please don't hate me). It is just so soothing. It irritates me.
Which makes me wish I could just toss him to the side and never listen to him again. But I can't. And here's why: he totally rocks. The messages he teaches, the ideas he provides, and the inspiration that is poured into his work all help me become a better person.
So I'll keep listening to Jack, despite the stories and the crying and the soothing voice. I'll keep listening because he gives me hope and faith in this world and in myself.
And I will make The Success Principles my very first Book of the Week at vfactor.ca.
Enjoy. And, Jack, thank you for all of your inspiration.
