Whether it's attaining a new body, better job, or simply being more productive in life.

logically based material

Great audio book! It uses logic and science to support the message, and it doesn't rely on fluffy feel good rhetoric. This was clearly meant as a learning tool in conjunction with an inspirational tool.

A Worthwhile REad

Any additional comments?

This is a fascinating book, written in narrative form that works pretty well. The concept is powerful but the narrative gets a bit cute at times. It's a book I'm going to need to re-read a couple of times for the concept to become "imprinted" into my thinking. The approach it suggests is applicable to companies, nonprofits and even individuals.

This is an excellent helpful guide !!

Any additional comments?

Self-control and self-discipline go hand in hand. Being disciplined involves controlling your urges and impulses that will reflect in the way you speak, your attitude and emotions and your relationships with those around you. Excellent time management involves a change in focus from activities to results. Without failure success may only be as much as the vision you have when you go to bed at night. Recommended!
