This is THE IDEAL cornerstone book for persons of any age who wish to “shine”.Why?1. It is practical, not theoretical2. He focuses on true values, not just Hollywood values3. He has a general plan and you fill in the blanks with your unique dreams4. He admits weaknesses and failures happen and isn’t unrealistically positive5. Basically, He’s real.6. He covers everything succinctly with constructive steps: Values, purpose, attitude, goals, motivation, image, risk, relationships…7. He has just the right amount of exercises, and they are practical8. The advice is backed up by fitting Hollywood stories, making the book an easy and fun read9. It is inspirational but backed up with substanceHe says, in brief, this: You grasp your unique talent for which you can have a “rage” for, have teams to help you, and make yourself lucky by actively creating the possibilities for it to occur.Just for balance, I don’t like his word for passion, “rage”, due to the negative connotations but he explains it. There are a few errors like calling high school calculus and physics “calculus and psychics”.Even if you have read self-help success books this one sort of brings everything together in one package. If you are a person who wants to “shine” you will not regret the time and money spent on this book.Excuse me now while I go do the exercises in the book… SHINE (5/5)     Truly motivational and insiteful. This quality piece is worth giving as a gift and referring to friends. Outstanding for those needing to self promote (5/5)     As a writer, speaker and consultant I’m always looking for thought provoking ideas on promotion. This is it! Was pleasently surprised since I’d never heard of Thompson and the book looked good so I bought it. It lays out in real life terms with stories of real life people just how to go about getting ahead and noticed. Great read and great advice, Thanks Larry! Here’s the plan you need for SUCCESS! (5/5)     I bought two copies of the book, and plan on buying more as gifts for those I believe could use assistance. There are many plans out there for becoming successful, and a lot are just filled with common sense and words used as filler.Larry’s book gives you EVERYTHING you need to make good things in life happen for you. I recommmend you buy a copy, follow the instructions with all your heart, enrich your life as well as those around you.It’s your life, take control… Set your course and reach YOUR DESTINY, not the destiny that other people will guide you into for their purposes! Obtain YOUR GOAL by NOT losing your drive. Keep pushing forward, you WILL make it. SHINE is a powerfully illuminating Classic. A must read!(5/5)       Larry Thompson exuded so much down to earth warmth and attentiveness on the Dr. Phil Show! I was so intrigued immediately by the title of his book SHINE: A Powerful 4-Step Plan for Becoming a Star in Anything You Do. I had to buy the book. I keep the dated receipt of my purchase to remind me of my goals for “stardom”. My new mantra is “find and fulfill your destiny!”I ended up rereading SHINE before writing what you’re reading now, and was able to pick up even more information. I highly recommend reading the book at least twice so as not to miss out on any gems of insight, and the book contains many. As a consummate reader of many motivational, self help/healing, and how-to books, I consider SHINE a classic.Creatively and expertly crafted with the humor and vivid illustrations of a natural storyteller the book is an elaborate roadmap to stardom, celebration of life, career workbook, bio/motivational career and success/spiritual life guide, and entertaining story full of gems and quotable comments and illustrating tools like 100 points of starlight marked.SHINE is an analytical distillation of the star-making process, of both material success and spiritual success. I especially like how Larry reminds us that we must be selfish (in a positive way) and make time to act on our goals; that greatness begins with humility, and that God is our Team Captain. Amen.I was excited to read in SHINE that there was actually a support forum on the Project Rise and Shine website, and excitedly joined the Good Luck Club.I read in Larry’s book SHINE about the importance of balancing truthfulness and compassion in assessing contestants, and he really projects these qualities he writes about: sensitivity and kindness.credits go to marek01 on bitme
