[Luciano Passuello]

Wow, Mark! I can't put into words how awesome this is -- I've been looking forward to read this book for so long now.

Thank you!!

[Mike]

Wonderful! Wonderful! My copy of the book is falling apart from re-reading. THANK YOU for making this excellent book available to the world.

Mark,

I'd just like to add my thanks to the chorus of thanks erupting everywhere at the news!

Thanks.

Dtto! I have been looking to get hold of a copy for some time now, but they are rare and expensive beasts on the second hand market. I can't wait to read it!

[Silvia]

Thank you so much Mark. So generous.

[Daouda]

Thanks!

That's it. I need to set up my husband's last PDA as an eReader. He says it's easy. Sure -- the manufacturer discontinued it two years ago. Crossing my fingers.

Thank you very much, Mark!

God bless you for your generous heart, Mark!

[Andreas Hofmann]

Thanks for doing this. Of course, I finally found a used copy for 20€ (instead of the usual 60-200€) the day after you published it here. And I bought it, too, to complete my Mark Forster collection. ;-)

Hint: still waiting for a donation button on this site.

Andreas:

Maybe publishing it on my website has caused a collapse in the price!

[Alex W.]

Thanks a lot for your generosity, Mark!
I already have the paperback, but it's nice to have it in electronic form as well.

Being the only person who ever posted a review of the book on the German Amazon site (sorry for the three stars, but I'm not someone to give those stars away lightly), I updated my review, so that might draw some more visitors to your site.

Regards,
Alex

Mark, thank you for your generous gift!

Thank you. Personally i found "Dreams" more inspiring that autofocs. I have a copy and refer to it regularly.

If there is a sense of time being short then one maybe pursuing the wrong vision. I believe that an inspiring vision motivtaes non-resistant energy flow, with minimal conflicts and resistance. Willing oneself to do something while there is resistance is not really acknowledging the non-willpower parts of ourselves. In esoteric terms the solar plexus chakra has not lifted to the heart centre.

Perhaps a coching question: Am I trying to accomplish this because I want recognition / to please others / money / live up to my parents image of me or because it fits who I am and brings me joy?

If society had no images it admired would my inner state be more important than the pressure to accomplish?

Forcing or flowing? All covered well in "Dreams".

Thank you.

Thanks for this great gift. Six months ago I spent 40$ for one of the rare used paperbacks - and I think it was worth every dime.

I saved as a PDF file, and put the reading aloud feature on, so that I have been listening to it while I am cooking or cleaning. This is a good way to get acquainted with the material. I have begun to read it now.

[Lazy Cat]

Thank you very much!!

I've tried in vain to get a copy ever since I found this page - now I don't know whether I'll get anything done before having read it :-)

[Lazy Cat]

My expectation was correct - I've just finished reading it ;-)

During the last two or three years, I realised that push mode almost never works for me, but I couldn't figure out how switch to pull mode actively (not yet having a name for this mode when I just achieve something amazing without knowing how I do it).

Thanks again for this book!

A key part of "dreams" is building a relationship to your most optimal future self. Some imaginative meditations which may work well this approach are:

Many Thanks Mark.
I am very curious to read it but it was so expensive (out of print).
Really nice. I appreciate it.

Thank you very much!!

At last I've managed to link time management to meaning. I've always liked the "Dreams" book more than all the time management stuff but I have linked them happily in my mind now.

In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasons_of_Love in Jonathan Larsen’s Broadway Musical "Rent" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8iTeDl_Wug) he brings a poetic take on time:

Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes
How Do You Measure - Measure A Year?
In Daylights - In Sunsets
In Midnights - In Cups Of Coffee
In Inches - In Miles
In Laughter - In Strife
In - Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes
How Do You Measure a Year In The Life?
How About Love?

I enjoyed pondering scientific tick-tock time with the human experience of it and its meaning for us. I suppose one might say tick-tock time is the ultimate canvas for us to experience meaning. The reprise then asks, “How do you figure a last year on earth?” A whole new meaning to "time management". (pun intended)

And scientifically if the observer in quantum physics changes the outcome of an event then perhaps we change time when we change our consciousnes of it.

T. S. Eliot (Four Quartets) ruminates in “The Dry Salvages” Number 3:

For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts.

[Israel Keys]

Thanks for the book - good stuff!
Shameless self-plug: just wrote my thoughts here: http://www.israelkeys.com/blog/2011/03/how-to-make-your-dreams-come%C2%A0true/

Dear Mark! It's so kind, because it's impossible to find your books in my country. Thank you very much!

[Mark Forster]

I hope you enjoy it, Suiunbek.

Hello Mark,

Thank you for giving us this book. I read it in one day and I feel changed by it. I identified with your self-coaching journey and truly appreciate that you shared your doubts/fears/triumphs. It was very helpful and encouraging for me to experience your transformative process.
Also - the end of the book made me cry. I think I will write you a letter to talk to you more about my experiences with the book - for now - I just want to say It felt like you wrote it just for me. It was a very already personal experience and then - when you wrote about 9/11 (I was there that day), I couldn't stop crying and I knew that I was reading something vital and that I was meant to take heed. I'm not someone who looks for 'signs' and 'omens', but the personal connection I had with the book felt like someone was reaching out of the sky and thumping me on the head - in a very friendly and loving way, of course. I've begun the process - what's better/vision/present reality/dialoges - and I am feeling more connected, already, to who I want to be.

Thank you so much,
Kirsten

Thank you, Mark - that is generous.
