a novel about second chance actually,
don't we human make mistake every once in a while, and sometime we are just too numb, or too tired, or too selfabsorb to change it.
therefore we should thank people who care enough to be the living reminder, who never gave up hope on us, while we already gave up with ourselves,
and it won't be easy,we have to fight and we have to have courage, like Larry the liontamer said: ""hidup ini sprti di dlm kandang singa, kawan.
takutlah, mundurlah, larilah dr apa yg ada didpnmu, maka tamatlah riwatmu, "
somehow, Harun was right, Brandon Burchard is better than Mitch Albom, Albom talked about death, while Burchard talked about life,
And as we all now, life is harder than death, We have to fight to stay alive, to have a good life,meanwhile for death all we have to do is to give up.
So live ur life to the fullest fellas :D I might give this onestars!!!!!! Theres nothing to tell in a review that wouldnt give this away.
Either it is truly awesome or God just knew I needed this story right now, Ill give it a little bit of both, Tiket Emas Kehidupan
Aku belajar tentang dunia:
Dunia adalah tempat yang gelap,
Dunia adalah tempat yang menyedihkan
Dunia adalah tempat yang tidak adil
Dunia adalah tempat orangorang yang tidak tahu menghargai
Dunia adalah tempat yang tidak pasti
Dan dunia ini akan siap menyalahkanmu setiap saat.
Aku belajar tentang orang lain:
Orang lain itu tidak ramah dan suka menyakiti
Orang lain itu bersikap dingin dan tidak perduli
Orang lain itu berhati kejam
Orang lain itu tidak adil
Aku belajar tentang diriku sendiri:
Aku percaya bahwa aku adalah orang dungu, idiot, dan pengganggu
Aku tidak becus berkomunikasi
Aku tukang bikin onar
Aku tidak berharga
Aku tidak cukup baik
Aku belajar tentang dunia, tentang orang lain, dan tentang diriku sendiri, sampai akhirnya aku terkena mantra masyarakat.

Such an uplifting and powerful message! Highly recommend to all!
My Rating:I had come across this book at Goodwill and opened it to the front page with all the praise from some of the leaders in business development and success.
I knew I had a winner,
And boy did I!
Everything I have learned over the years from self help books, life coaches, business coaches, lectures and videos were all crammed into an ingenious novel.
Trying to distill the very essence of success and inspiration through fiction is a quite a feat, What Brendan Burchard has done is nothing short of a miracle to have a character so thoroughly self evaluate his life through the lenses of a multitude of characters at an improbable and impossible amusement park.
At points in the novel you can not help but to evaluate your own life, I did so at several points and realized my life so parallels that of the main character in many ways despite very different circumstances.
I can not highly enough endorse this novel to anyone searching for purpose and success in their life.
To say anything more would diminish both the satisfaction and revelatory nature of the book,
Go read!.Stars really really good This one is a little hard for me to rate, I guess I would give itstars, Didnt love it, didnt hate it, Its just not the type of book I would normally read, I liked that the story was a motivational one BUT I also felt like I was stuck in a movie that was a mixture of Willy Wonka and A Christmas Carol.
The writing style was good though, . . easy to read and quick with only aboutpages, Z této knihy jsem opravdu nadšená jde totiž o jednu z těch knih, které vám změní život a pohled na ostatní lidi.
PS: nejvíc bych chtěla vyzkoušet vyhlídkové kolo o I received this book for free, had only paid shipping and figured why not.
It gave me much more than I expected, I was humbled and honored by the perspective and value it has gave me to improve and change my personal outlook on my life While I was waiting for “The Millionaire messenger”, this inspirational novel popped up by the same author.
This book reminds me of “The five people you meet in heaven” by Mitch Albom, and “The Alchemist” by Paolo Coehlo It is a quest of personal transformation.
Henry goes to an old amusement park where he encounters so many experiences forcing him to revising his past, some beautiful, others painful, yet all of them teaching him life lesson.
. In the truth booth, he learns how his abusive childhood made him feeling inadequate, ugly, weak and useless The world is a dark and dangerous place.
As he visits the following places, Screaming Carnies, Harsh the Hypnotist, Gus and the Elephant, Hall of Mirrors, and finally Tunnel of Love, he is becoming more empathetic, confident and willing to restore the relationship with himself and others.
In the end, this is a story of love, loss and redemption, We are all given a lifes golden ticket to live our life to its fullest how are we going to use it
“Did I live” “Did I live it fully the way God has designed” “Did I love” “Did I love openly, fully and completely” After the author, Brendon survived a horrific car accident, he dedicates his life for inspiring others fulfilling their dreams and finding their destinies.
This little book helps me to reflect my own life and reminds me how I should live, In the lifes journeys up and down good and bad, I must take the responsibility, Be bold and contribute to the world, Forgive others mistakes because they all have their own cross to bear and unique life experiences that made them who they are.
We all have a lifes golden ticket, Every morning I need to realize that this is my second chance,
Every once in awhile, something happens that really touches my life! Well, today I read an amazing book Life's Golden Ticket by Brendon Burchard! It's a fascinating story that takes place in an amusement park with little, life messages tucked away in the story! There is a special envelope that cannot be opened until the story is completed!
The style was so unique it was a story, but it was also selfhelp too! What a gift reading this book has been : OK, first of all, let me tell you HOW I gave this book two.
It's actually an average. I gave itstar for the story andfor intent, Since I can't give halves, it gets a, I'll explain story / intent below,
I was at a business seminar getting ideas for my business when Brendon jumped on stage and said some funny, mildly informative, and a few thought provoking things.
Nothing spectacular here, on stage or in the book, It's really all been done and said before, But what propels people to the top in most cases is marketing and push, push, push, There's a lot of mediocre material out there that "makes it, "
The book is rather contrived with amangoestocarnival instead of heaven theme The Five People You Meet in Heaven to discover truths about his life.
But some serious detractors were the appearance of such characters as a wizard, a guy named Harsh the Hypnotist Gee, what do you think he's going to be like, and the title of chapter, The Truth Booth.
At the end of chapter three, the main character asks, "What now" Henry his guide replies, "Now we see the wizard.
" As I read this, I could hear strains of We're Off to See the Wizard rumaging about in the back of my mind.
I'm sorry, but this is all too MaryHigginsClarkforecasting obvious for me Be careful, there's actually a character named Mary Higgins in the book.
Really!. Brandon is obviously not a writer, so let me tell you what's going on here,
This guy teaches how to get your stuff into the public's hands, You do so by contacting forprofit and nonprofit companies, He did so. You can see by the CEO's who wrote blurbs for his book, Well, they didn'tCEO's are too busythey probably picked from a list of blurbs, And a good point of note here is that's how it's usually done, Either people who like you or benefit from association with you a certain percentage of the proceeds go to the companies Burchard partnered withgive you a blurb for your book.
Also what's interesting is the people on Amazon who felt duped into having to read this book.
Maybe the companies he partnered with made their employees read / buy it, Don't know. But just like email blasts on Amazon that shoots a book to number one based on who you know joint ventures, this book will eventually fly or die on its own.
With all his promoting, expert blurbs even Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen Chicken Soup for the Soul guys, and James Redfield The Celestine Prophecy it's still only doing OK on Amazon.,to my,Black Body Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe, which actually got as high as,WITHOUT CORPORATE SPONSORS.
Go figure.
But he is making thousands if not millions training people to change and such, so he's used his book as an in to his profession.
But in this daynage of the master marketer, people can shoot to the top with a book without much substance or content.
So buyer beware!
Oh, as far as intent is concerned, Brendon's heart is in the right place and he does give a percentage to charity.
However, he is digging the TONS of cash piling up because of his second chance, his Golden Ticket given for another chance.
So learn from Brendon how to make change as he takes your change, and then some, to the bank.
Fun book
If you liked sitelinkThe Shack or sitelinkThe Five People You Meet in Heaven, you will probably like this.
The metaphors are not too subtle and the symbols a little too over the top, not one of the better in this genre does this even have a specific genre but a good book nonetheless.
Turns out Burchard is a motivational speaker and life coach so throw in sitelinkThe Alchemist too, Maybe this is a genre: the fantasized and personified performance art as extended motivation / self help,
I do like the carnivalesque theme and this reminded me a little of Ray Bradbury,
image error When my friend suggested I read this, I was a bit skeptical, She assured me it was a quick read and that I would learn a lot from it,
Okay, I gave it a try and was more than pleasantly surprised, Brendan Burchard has written a truly great book, I laughed, I cried, and I thought, It brought memories to the surface that had been long buried and made me think about where I am going with my life.
The main character narrates his fantasy trip which takes place in an abandoned amusement park that isn't abandoned when he arrives.
The people in the park give invited visitors a second chance at changing their lives for the better, hence the golden ticket.
He is at the park at the request of his dying fiance who had been missing fordays.
Each person he meets at the park and each carnival ride he takes shows him his past both good and bad.
Each lesson he learns will help him risk changing his life, forgive both himself and others, be bold, see the other person's side of an argument, learn how to contribute and a host of life skills one needs to be successful.
This is a very good selfhelp book that is easy to read, easy to understand, and inspirational for people who would like to change but hate selfhelp books.
