Praise

I truly enjoyed reading this book. It talked about the power of visualizatation, meditation, and self disipline. With those 3 powerhouses working for you, you will achieve your success. I really like reading of the power of visualization. I had only used it for weight loss, never for anything else. The explanation of the different types of meditation was enlighting and the exercises to make self discipline a habit were very convincing. I really liked the spot-on quotes at the end of each chapter. A very proposeful read.read

5.0 out of 5 stars Improve your mind, bit by bit. Jack Cator has the ability to digest a lot of big books into one concise 104-page book on improving your mind. You know your mind could use some improvement, so study this special book, "Ripple Reactions." I Highly recommend all the books by Jack Cator.
