I appreciate your commenting. I like what you've done on the pricing of your book and am completely behind you on it. For a start you've been courageous in how you've valued yourself, and in doing so you challenge others to put the same kind of value on themselves. That's a major part of the equation. You give other people the choice whether they value themselves that much or not. Some will, some won't. But for those who choose to, the rewards are immense. And that's of enormous value.

Amazingly enough and tough to believe seeing as you don't know me, it wasn't so we could make more money! Less than 20% of books get read, but if somebody commits to spending this kind of money it's unlikely they then want not only read it, but commit to doing the work $97 is not cheap, but then again my Mobileme account costs me $99 a year just so I can sync my calendar, my AT & T bill is usually around $210 per month, I spent $240 on DirecTv's NFL Sunday ticket so I could watch the St Louis Rams humiliate themselves every Sunday and so on and so on. Part of the formula of the book is scrapping cost and adopting worth and this is what we are asking people to do up front. And of course we do offer that 100% money back guarantee. If you buy it Bob and think it's hype. I'll give you a full refund. @ Christine – Thanks a lot for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

These days it is tough for anyone to shell out $97 for a book but it just may be worth it... Best, Bob Christine,

And you sound like you do the same as me - stock pile books that we really must read!! I also have three sitting here at the moment. That beach holiday sounds like a good idea! I'm also going to be interested to see what other feedback Tim and John's book gets. I have to admit to writing from the point of view of someone who is already sold on the whole idea of personal development. It'll be interesting to see what a wider audience says. I'm watching some of the conversation on Twitter, and so far it seems to be getting positive feedback, but I know that there was a big conversation there last week with one guy in particular who took exception to the price. Thanks for the feedback on the look and style of the blog too! Much appreciated. Hope you're having a good day. Best Christine Hi Bob,

I'll have to look into it as soon as I finish the other three books I have bought recently. I need a good week or two on a beach and I'll be all set... I'm interested in what others think of the book as well. $97 is dear but it sounds like it's worth the investment. By the way, I really like the style and look of your blog. Very clean and simple.
