According to one of the book's reviewers, Larry Trivieri Jr, "At the heart of the Osteen's message is that achieving a successful, prosperous life of fulfillment can only occur when we stop worrying about the past or future to make the most of each present moment by using our God-given strengths and talents to achieve our goals. The key to doing so are the seven steps Osteen outlines: (1) Enlarge Your Vision, (2) Develop a Healthy Self-Image, (3) Discover the Power of Your Thoughts and Words, (4) Let go of the Past, (5) Find Strength Through Adversity, (6) Live to Give, and (7) Choose to Be Happy. Mixing biblical teachings with his own personal experiences, Osteen explains each of these seven steps in an encouraging, optimistic manner that makes them accessible to anyone interested in principles of personal growth. Although written with a Christian slant, the seven steps Osteen shares will have value to anyone wanting to know more about practical steps of self-betterment, regardless of their denomination."
