So often self help or personal development books are full of platitudes and leave me wondering 'right, but what now?' That is not how I left The Road To Power. I left this book feeling like this advice was grounded and something worth paying attention to. Practical, realistic advice is an ongoing theme that is fully supported by real world examples. A strong, fun, and easy read that is worth both the time, and the application. ~ Jody Horvath (Reviewer) , NetGalley

Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "The Road to Power: Fast Food for the Soul" is one of those life changing, life shaping, life enhancing instructional and motivational guides that is especially commended to the attention of anyone seeking to improve themselves in terms of successfully dealing with the stresses and pressures that contemporary life can impose upon us. While very highly recommended for community and academic library Self-Help/Self-Improvement collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that "The Road to Power: ~ James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Mid West Book Review

A great self help book, inspirational and practical without being cheesy, easy to dip in and out of, one to reread over and over! ~ Sarah Hurley, NetGalley

The Power Is Within You – 5 Stars Bonnie Cehovet I have followed Barbara Berger’s work for many years now. I have even had the pleasure of doing an audio interview with her. I am impressed with her authenticity, and with the fact that as a counsellor she gifts her readers with tools that they can use to take action in their lives. “The Road To Power – Fast Food For The Soul” is two books in one. The power that Barbara is talking about is the power of the mind, the power to take back our lives, and to create the life that we really want. Bottom line – we can change our lives by changing our thinking. We have the ability to change any area of our life that we want to – we just need to take responsibility and put the effort in. I feel that Barbara’s books, and her work, can benefit all people, from all walks of life. Included amongst her writing are "Are You Happy Now? 10 Ways to Live a Happy Life", "The Awakening Human Being - A Guide to the Power of Mind", and "Find and Follow Your Inner Compass - Instant Guidance in an Age of Information Overload". Each book addresses something that we can do to live a better, more balanced life. The focus in this book is on our mind, and how we create our lives through the power of thoughts and words. Barbara points out that we are victims of our own thinking. She makes a very important point when she says that the outside world is simply a manifestation of what we choose to think about it. Power is an inside job! We need to do the work required on ourselves, the inner work. As our thoughts change, our outer world changes. Each chapter of this book presents specific techniques that the reader can use to control their life and create the future that they want. Each chapter is a “stand alone”, so that the reader can go to whichever chapter they need most at any given time (for example - The Power of Focus, The Power of Money, The Power of Silence, The Power of Joy and Laughter, The Power of Vision). Each chapter is written in clear, straightforward language. Each tool is presented in a manner in which the reader will be able to implement it in their life. I loved the fact that Barbara mentions other well-known individuals in this book and describes the work that they are doing. It is a “who’s who” of working on yourself! At the end of the book, there is a listing of these teachers, and their books. This book is easy to read, and easy for the reader to implement in their life. I recommend it for all ages, and all backgrounds. ~ Bonnie Cehovet, Amazon and her own blog

These books are indeed a gift! Filled with positive and easy to understand advice which gets straight to the point. I liked that you can pick out chapters to read when you need help with certain topics. Barbara is an uplifting voice throughout and I felt compelled to make changes for the better. ~ Louise Tang, NetGalley

I found this very helpful and a good addition to my self-help knowledge. The author writes of regaining our power through changing how we think and thereby changing how we see ourselves. Self-worth is a theme here and knowing yourself through personal journey work. This is not just another positive thinking manual. The author has sensible advice here for changing our negative view of our lives in every aspect to one that helps us regain the power we have given up. I found it well written and knowledgeable about the subject of self-talk. After you read this book you sit up straighter and have a higher opinion of yourself ~ Lori Read, NetGalley

This book is all about attaining personal power and growing as a person. I feel like I made decent headway on both due to Barbara's clever teachings. This book reminded me I am my own superhero.
