April 22, 2009: Reading this book was a pleasant surprise as it is my first exposure to the writings of John Assaraf. His style is very easy, smooth, across the kitchen table, and generous without hype.

"Having It All" is 217 pages long, broken down into three parts containing 12 well organized chapters. I found his information well balanced with personal insight, stories of other people's experiences, and grassroots knowledge. I particularly appreciated his personal background as a "street kid," proving to me he walks the talk in all areas. I'm sure this is why he is featured in "The Secret."

John plainly guides you through the process to determine and achieve your life's goals and dreams with some challenging and thought provoking exercises. As with any good book on personal development, you get out of it what you put into it.

"Having It All" starts out with authority in that Bob Proctor writes the Forward and has personal knowledge of John in his development of a long lasting successful lifestyle. i recommend this book to anyone on a journey of personal development who would like to relax and enjoy reading a good book while learning about yourself at the same time.

May 29, 2008: WOW, a self-help book that doesn?t preach or sermonize but actually gives you practical and scientific information on how to achieve your goals and dreams. I didn?t want to stop listening to Mr. Assaraf as he read his own work. Who better to read your work than the person who wrote it! He tells us how to achieve what we want by showing us where he came from and how he managed to ?get there?. He did not come from wealth or power. He was a ?street kid? and did get into trouble. He begins by telling us about how he listened to the men who had the power and wealth and learning from them --- thus the scientific information --- if it works for them, it can work for me. He admits that he is divorced but has managed to stay friends with his ex-wife. He is remarried and happy and has two GREAT kids. All in all, he is just an average Joe that got what he wanted by working hard and like other self-help books, Mr. Assaraf tells you to use your mind but to also use the Power of Nature?s Laws. What are they? Oh, you need to listen to the book to get that information. I wouldn?t want to give everything away!
