Jack Canfield discusses the key factor self-esteem plays in whether or not we reach our goals. He relates the surprising trends that studies reveal regarding the current state of self-esteem in the world. “Two out of three people who live in North America, and pretty much around the world, have low self-esteem,” he declares.
“Now I share that with you because a lot of times we think that people with low self-esteem are the crack addicts out on the street and the kids who are out in the gangs and the people who are homeless, but the fact is we have middle class people with low self-esteem and when you have low self-esteem it affects your ability to produce results and be more successful.”
He compares our inner selves with the story of the discovery of “The Golden Buddha,” in Thailand. In 1957, monks were moving a giant clay Buddha statue, when the figure slipped out of the crane and fell. The Buddha cracked, revealing the clay was nothing more than a layer; the figure was actually made of gold. “Each of you is like a golden essence,” Jack imparts. “You’ve got this incredible creativity that’s inside of you, incredible intelligence, and yet, it gets covered over with clay. What’s the clay? The clay is your self-doubt, your fears, the wounds you experienced as a child. And you get to the point where you’re an adult, and it’s like you’re covered over with this stuff that blocks your natural radiance...and you’re held back.”
Affectionately deemed “America’s Success Coach,” internationally best-selling author and psychotherapist, Jack has over thirty years of experience investigating the common factors that set high-achievers apart from everyday people, and he is uniquely qualified to teach you the discipline you need to be a peak performer.

The Golden Motorcycle Gang: A Story of Transformation Have you ever asked yourself why you are on planet Earth? And what the ultimate purpose for your life might be? Well, Jack Canfield asked himself this very question and came up with a surprising answer—part of which included a vision revealing that he is part of a “Golden Motorcycle Gang”—a gang whose intent is to have fun, but also to make significant contributions to the well-being of humanity.
During a joyful dinner many years ago in Santa Barbara, California, Jack told his friend William Gladstone about the Gang. Upon hearing this account, William had an epiphany that Jack’s story held a powerful underlying truth not only explaining Jack’s true purpose, but William’s as well. For more than ten years, William encouraged Jack to write a book based on the story of the Gang, so they have now collaborated on this work to show you its relevance to this critical moment in the history of human civilization . . . and also to you, personally. As you read, you will be introduced to some of the extraordinary members of the Golden Motorcycle Gang, including visionary thinkers such as Barbara Marx Hubbard, the originator of the concept of Conscious Evolution.
The mystery and adventure inherent in this book reveals that there is now the opportunity for all of us on planet Earth to make a quantum leap in real time toward choosing the actual course of our evolution. Along the way, we are meant to experience the joy that comes from recognizing who we really are.
Perhaps, as you embark on Jack’s journey along with him . . . you will find that you are also a member of the Golden Motorcycle Gang! So get ready for the adventure of your life!
The Success Principles(TM): How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be When it comes to success, Canfield knows of what he speaks: he is co-creator, with Mark Victor Hansen, of the seemingly endless Chicken Soup for the Soul series. He presents 64 success principles that he claims “always work”—and draws on his own experience and that of others to illustrate them. Sixty-four principles may seem like a lot, but each receives a concise, easy-to-digest chapter that challenges readers to risk creating their lives exactly as they want them. Many of the principles are familiar—e.g., “Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life”—but Canfield has a nifty way of summarizing them (“Reject rejection”), and some are inventive: “Become an Inverse Paranoid” means see the world as out to help you instead of out to get you.
He also offers specific techniques, such as positive-thinking exercises and visualizations. A section on transformation provides even more on how to overcome self-defeating beliefs, fears and habits. Further sections offer principles on building good teams and better relationships at the office. Canfield acknowledges his predecessors in the success advice field, such as Napoleon Hill, and is also clear that while he gives information, motivation, and inspiration, readers must contribute their own hard work. Canfield′s energy and enthusiasm bounce off the page; many will flock to this inspiring (and very rich) teacher. And those starting off in business or in need of a refresher course may consider this title required reading.
