Brief description: Ed grew up in the newspaper business and spent the first 35 years of his life working as a news photographer and reporter. In 1975 he was introduced to Silva Mind Control and has been involved ever since. He continued his writing and reporting, and worked with Jose Silva on more than a dozen books as editor or coauthor. He coauthored Jose Silva's last 4 books. "I am still reporting," he says, "reporting on how people change their lives for the better as they learn to use their natural God-give ESP."
Review Quotes:
José Silva's Guide to Effective Decision Making and Goal Setting offers a special approach to setting and meeting goals which defines what goals are, covers various strategies to identifying and meeting mileposts during the process, and outlines the Silva Method's techniques for more effective identification and attainment of life dreams.
Rather than encouraging a "one size fits all" approach, Silva encourages readers to consider and then "apply the steps that are appropriate to you." This allows for a blueprint that incorporates flexibility and individuality in its methodology, which will prove inviting to readers who balk at set procedures for meeting goals.
The first thing to note about José Silva's Guide to Effective Decision Making and Goal Setting is that begins with dreaming-a dream that may yet be unrealized or defined, but is the focal point of any endeavor. Methodology is outlined for readers who may have the nuggets of possibility in their minds, but no clear vision of how to take the next step to make them real.
Chapters evolve a progressive series of insights that outline steps to success, from writing down possibilities to give them more concrete status to assembling pictures of the goal. Visuals are thus related to imagination in a way that adds solidity to the possibilities of realizing the goal.
A workbook-style format that encourages dreamers to become achievers invites this conversion with fill-in-the-blank opportunities that may not lend to the rigors of library circulation, but creates many pivot points of understanding designed to push the process from thinking to achievement.
At each step of the process, real-world examples reinforce the process in action, showing learners how the method appears at different stages in its incarnation and translation into reality.
It may be obvious by now that, of necessity, the ideal reader of José Silva's Guide to Effective Decision Making and Goal Setting will be interested in applied self-help action rather than sitting back and reading about possibilities. This type of audience will more than appreciate the clarity and actionable advice Silva cultivates, presented in "baby steps" to make the process unambiguous.
From discussions of life purpose to expanding the Silva techniques to address issues in personal interaction choices and considering the consequences of supporting friends and others, bigger-picture thinking moves outward from personal goal-setting in a revealing, unexpected manner.
Audiences seeking guided routines for expanding their understanding of the world, their visions, and their choices in realizing these dreams will find José Silva's Guide to Effective Decision Making and Goal Setting unexpectedly outstanding as it moves from individual to community processes, expanding its own guidance by reinforcing "effective" to apply to all manner of goals, achievements, and interpersonal interactions.
Those desiring to modify their beliefs and behaviors to achieve better success in life will find José Silva's Guide to Effective Decision Making and Goal Setting thought-provoking and outstanding. -D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
