I have the privilege to have seen first-hand Dr Hisham’s leadership, pioneering mind and spirit. His book is 100% a reflection of his attitude and mind set. Over the years, I have read many books and watched many DVD’s on personal development. This is a book everyone can relate to and learn from. It puts personal leadership in a practical perspective. I highly recommended this book as a must read to everyone. Well done Dr Hisham.

You know the ingredients, this is the recipe., January 20, 2013
Having read “Think And Grow Rich” by Napolean Hill, and having watched numerous online videos by Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy and Jim Rohn, I realized I was only looking at the ingredients required to attain success. While all these men are brilliant in their own right, I never felt I got the HOW part of their success. Chances are you’ve already heard about concepts such as the law of attraction, controlling your subconscious mind and NLP programming. If you are now at the stage where want to see how someone in the real world has naturally applied these concepts, this is the book you want to add to your self-development collection.
Dr. Hisham Abdalla’s candid approach reveals his life’s strives and successes, from family grief and financial stresses to the resilience to stick with a dream and a vision that was much more powerful than the seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
This book is not one which will tell you to affirm “I will be a millionaire” every night before you go to sleep. It is a no-nonsense dose of reality and a real-life example in applying many of the concepts introduced by famous self-help coaches. It is no wonder that Bob Proctor himself wrote the foreword to this book.
You can read about the law of attraction till the cows come home, but without practical action and a crystal clear vision, you might as well be reading story novels.

I might be biased…. he’s my dentist !, January 5, 2013
When I first walked into the Laserlife Clinic I couldn’t believe that this was a dentist clinic. I wasn’t met by the usual smell of a dentist – or people in white coats… Instead I was met by these amazing people that gave me my trust back (not that I ever really had it when it comes to dentists… :o) But because of the philosophy behind the Laserlife Clinic I can now go to the dentist without being sick weeks before…
I’ve read many books about the ‘law of attraction’ but never have I seen and experienced it like at the Laserlife Clinic. Every little thing, every little detail is taken care of and you just feel ‘special’ from the moment you walk in the door – and I’m talking about a DENTIST clinic… how amazing and unusual is that? This book explains the reason why it’s actually possible to create something as amazing as the Laserlife Clinic and I for one find it intriguing to know what lies behind this place. The book is very honest and very personal and explains in a very easy way how to use the 4 D’s (even though we all know it’s not always that easy…). I have to take my hat off to Dr. Hisham – and his family – for what they’ve gone through. I’m not sure I could be as brave and as passionate – but I will sure try again after having read this book!
So… I can highly recommend both this book and the Laserlife Clinic to everybody!

Great Food for the Mind, December 7, 2012
For the aware person, feeding your mind by reading books about self-awareness, leadership and success is much like consuming a good meal. It’s something you need to do it more than once, and preferably every day. If you’re in the market to feed your mind with some good reading for the mind and soul, 4D Leadership fits the bill nicely–it is a very good meal indeed.
Dr. Hisham Abdalla is the first multiple-laser dentist and instructor in New Zealand, and in addition is an international speaker and educator in the fields of minimally invasive and cosmetic dentistry and laser dentistry.
But this book is really about none of those subjects. It is all about self-awareness and reaching one’s individual potential, whatever that may be. Dr. Hisham writes eloquently about having a dream, and how one’s true desire to achieve that dream, coupled with motivation and true determination, can help you reach it.
There have been many self-help books written over the years that touch on these same subjects, some well known and others more obscure. Each of these books appeals to different readers because of the quality of the messages contained in them, as well as the tone and style of the individual authors. The fact is, different writers appeal to each of us differently, and I found that Dr. Hisham’s easy to read style appealed to me very much.
Dr. Hisham’s message is summed up in his 4D Leadership model, which lends his unique stamp to some of the age-old concepts he writes about. Many readers will find his model to be a well thought out structure they can use while following their own paths to success.
Overall I found this book to be an enjoyable read, filled with great insight that was worth my time to consume and digest. If you are a student of the mind and looking for an inspirational and satisfying read, I recommend this book to you.

A Brief History Of Time Management, November 23, 2012
A must read book, really it is not one of those silly books that tell you in a boring way what you should do to be successful, but it is an exciting piece of art with a lot of feelings and wise personal experiences.
I learned a lot from Dr Hisham`s wisdom.
This book will help you to turn on the light in a world that people want you to belive it is full of darkness.

A must read you won’t be able to put this one down., November 22, 2012
Dr Hisham Abdalla is truly inspirational. In this magnificent book, he is candid about his life. He takes you through his journey of success and also reveals the challenges he and his wife Marta faced. Their world was created through hard work, blood, sweat, tears and of course the 4Ds. Dr Hisham is not only a talented world class dentist, but he is also an excellent author. His message is clear and succinct.
The life you lead is your canvas, you are the artist, you are the leader.
This book is food for the mind and nutrition for the soul. I promise you it will benefit you in some way no matter who you are and what you do if you read this book with an open mind and a curious heart.

Exceptional, November 19, 2012
I was honoured to know Dr. Hisham in one of his Laser classes at the Laser Lifecare institute and I remember discussing with him how scary it is to be what you want to be and chase your career.
He told me, I am writing a book about this exact issue and it will be printed in 2 months, I waited read the whole book and OMG it makes perfect sense, I enjoyed the whole book especially the Do and Determination chapters. 4D leadership is a must read book for anyone who wants to pursue his dreams.

From New Zealand’s best dentist . . ., November 4, 2012
. . . comes the inspiring story of how vision, hard work and determination enabled him and his team to create the Laser lifeCARE Institute, a world class dental and teaching facility based in Auckland, New Zealand, which attracts guests and students from around the world. As a guest of Laser lifeCARE, I know Dr Hisham and his wife Marta and I know that their combination of first class technical dental care and a luxurious spa like environment has created a thriving business. When you meet him, Dr Hisham radiates energy and positivity. His enthusiasm for life and its possibilities leap off every page of this book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the teachings of Bob Proctor, Deepak Chopra or Anthony Robbins and truly believes that “what the mind can conceive, it can achieve”.

4D Leadership or how to achieve one’s dreams, September 28, 2012
I am petrified of dentists. I remember the good old days of the foot pedal drill so a few years ago I was fortunate to discover via the internet laser dentistry and the Laser LifeCARE institute run by Dr Hisham Abdalla in Downtown Auckland, New Zealand. Now going to the dentist is a pleasure. I know that in his hands I shall experience no pain and no injections. I am a challenging patient but now I have no fear of the dentist.
It was with much pleasure that I read 4D Leadership. I have watched and been impressed by the way the Laser LifeCARE Institute has grown before my eyes, and I have been impressed by Dr Hisham’s manner and knowledge This book has enabled me to understand the background and the problems involved and has given me a better understanding of what has been achieved.
What I particularly like about Dr Hisham’s philosophy is his ability and nerve to take a large calculated risk. For him it has paid off and I enjoyed sharing the experience with him. My leadership days are over. I too had a dream when I was young of running an opera/ballet company. I had to take an even larger risk than that of medicine but for me too the calculated risk paid off. I wish I had had this book when I was starting as I should not have been so afraid of failure or felt so alone.
Not everyone is a leader but we could do with more leaders of the 4D variety and be able to recognize them, understand their dreams and foster their talent.

Be inspired!, September 18, 2012
Refreshingly open and honest, Dr. Hisham reveals the private challenges he encountered on his way to creating his amazing Laser Lifecare Institute, and in so doing details the pillars of his personal leadership programme. His openness and pragmatic approach drew me in and inspired me to look for opportunities to create excellence and continuous improvement in my own life. Dr. Hishams writing style is relaxed and easy to read, yet so compelling that I had to finish the book in one sitting!
I heartily recommend this book to all!
