Resourceful and powerful, this radically different motivation guide fulfils a niche that has been absent from the genre of self-help books for years -- it actually provides readers with the tools to become more fulfilled, not just empty advice. Unlike other self-help books, this potent guide actually helps individuals to focus on obtaining the skills needed to accomplish a goal and become more fulfilled. Focusing on 12 strategies for taking control of life, Ivan Burnell stresses the importance of empowerment and personal responsibility. The tools and techniques of these strategies operate in the 8 areas of life that Ivan fully describes in detail. Since the process is easily understandable -- built upon the basic fundamentals of self-worth and happiness -- decisions can be formed with less effort and a higher degree of success. This revised edition focuses more on the individual than the process, emphasising the importance of such things as self-esteem and integrity. This book contains a number of practical, useful additions, including a chapter that contains a daily schedule, an additional reading list, a want list form and a "Loving Yourself Daily" instruction sheet. Those who have been helped by Ivan realise the power of positive, lasting changes that have occurred in their daily lives as a result of following this emphatic guide.
