Reader Reviews
It is incredibly fascinating that a book written almost 100 years ago could still carry so much insight into tapping into your potential-not just as an entrepreneur, but as a person as well. Even though the societal and technological landscape is vastly different from the pre-Great Depression era, the messages are still applicable, suppose he truly did find the Secret of the Ages.

If you are feeling stuck and want to change your life, read this book. It is not a book you just read once and then forget about. I see myself coming back again and again to really internalize the lessons contained.

I wish I had read Robert Collier's works when I was younger! Some great wisdom in these pages. Very encouraging. This should have been required reading in grade school. Would have many find themselves. I intend to read more of his works.

This is a book that everyone should read! It does help understand why we attract what we don't want and how to change our thoughts so we can attract what we want!
Veronica
Excellent book. If you want to live a better life, this is a must-read! It's not just about being optimistic, or thinking happy thoughts - it's about changing your life and living life to the fullest - as God intended.

Everyone should read this book. The world would change. That includes YOU! I almost don't know how to explain it, but it's more metaphysical than anything else. The spiritual science behind the things we see!

The Secret of the Ages does not tell you any "secret". There are no secrets anymore, only people who choose or choose not to see what is self-evident. The power of the mind and your attitude will determine your success in life. This book is well written and organized, easy to read, but ultimately you will have to do the work for this book to be of use.
Andras
What a great book! This is one of the first motivational books that I read back in the early 1980s, which changed my mindset as far as seeking success. This book addresses the spiritual, mental, and financial areas of our lives. The right mental attitude is so important in our present and future success. "Whatever you can visualize-and BELIEVE in-you can accomplish." "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Our place in life is immensely influenced by our mental attitude. You have to see your goal that you want to achieve before it is materialized. This book is a must-read for the person who wants to change their attitude, quit feeling sorry for themselves, and start to become what they were meant to be.
