Review by Samgum50 -- The Secrets of Living A Fantastic ...
The Secrets of Living a Fantastic Life is a book bound to change any readers life. The book contains 13 golden pearls that the authors explain in great detail. These golden pearls are elements that the authors realized are crucial for living a fulfilling and fantastic life. Both the authors came to realize these elements after going through near-death situations. The authors both explain their past experiences and how they overcame everything at the beginning of the book.
One of the things I loved about this book was its precise nature. The authors didn’t beat around the bush by their presentation of the golden pearls to readers. Right after explaining their stories and the metaphorical golden pearls, they dived into explaining each of the golden pearls. An allegory was presented relating to each golden pearl.
The text was mainly presented as a dialogue between Dr. Allen Lycka and Harriet Tinka. Given the way the writing came off, I assumed that perhaps they had recorded audio clips and had them transcribed into text for the book. Regardless of the method they used to achieve that I enjoyed the dialogue format. It made me, as a reader, feel more of a personal connection to what the authors were saying. It also added more uniqueness to the book.
I also love the fact that the authors included various quotes from different people and sources. I felt like they were well matched and relevant to the message they were trying to communicate. To me, they enhanced my comprehension and understanding of the book more. Plus, it was nice that they listed out the quotes they’d used again at the end of the book for readers to check out.
Generally, I feel like this is a very thought-provoking and inspiring book. The message of the 13 golden pearls presented by Dr. Allen Lycka and Harriet Tinka is universal. I feel like readers from various walks of life could gain something from this book.
Overall, I would give this book 4 out of 4 stars. I feel like The Secrets of Living a Fantastic Life is wonderfully written. The book contains a lot of helpful material that many readers can learn on. The book does contain a few errors here and there that I hope will be corrected. However, these errors did not dampen my overall thoughts and feelings on the book.
I would recommend The Secrets of Living a Fantastic Life to fans of self-help and motivational books. This book would also be perfect for non-fiction readers. I feel like readers who mainly enjoy fiction and fantasy may have a hard time liking this book.

Yes, people supporting each other can be so helpful. Thank you for your comment!Miks_solon wrote: ↑11 Jul 2020, 04:00 I agree with you. I think the book has completely achieved its goal of inspiring and motivating readers. Knowing someone's struggles in life is oddly comfortable. Despite of different problems we are facing, the important thing is how we recover, hence supporting each other is such a big help.
