"you alone are responsible for yourself" - By: Alejandra Vernon, 24 Oct 2002 
I've been reading self-help material since my youth, & this small book, which is the size of my hand & the width of my little finger, is a distillation of the best of all of them...pearls of wisdom, extracted from the ocean of spiritual truth.
It is not writtenin Paramahansa Yogananda's usual rich style, & he has obviously kept this very abreviated & concise for a reason. There are no cute stories & "fillers" to illustrate his points, & at times his directness could be labeled "tough love".
"Attunement with the Divine Will is the most important factorin attracting success".
The main theme of the book is beingin harmony with the Divine Will, saying it is man's highest obligation.
If one follows the principlesin this book...the guidelines for meditation (pg.28), & eliminating fear, "Fear Exhausts Life Energy" (pg. 22), are essentials...freedom, happiness, & success will follow.
In "The Need for Self-Analysis" (pg. 16), the great guru describes another essential, which is finding one's missionin life, saying that though the ultimate purpose is to return to God, "...you also have a task to performin the outer world", & he cautions (on pg. 30) that the things one may "want", but actually not "need", could be detering you from that objective.
This pocket-sized book is a treasure, powerful, & amazingly helpful.
