Written with clarity and scientific rigor as well as a healthy dose of humor, this is probably one of the most responsibly researched and well-presented books on goal achievement that you will ever read. You will learn: What has gotten in the way of achievement; how you set goals that you’re not conscious of; tools for assessing future goals; and why the “think positive” motto doesn’t ensure success. For fans of John Medina and Mary Roach.

I love this book! When I was in school, everybody (parents, teachers, counselors) promoted the professions as a way to the top of the economic ladder. Just a few years later it was the professions augmented by computer know-how that would vault you into the financial stratosphere. But now with professional information available online, and routine computer work outsourced to Asia, those careers we once thought the path to security are fast becoming the Western world's 21st Century dinosaurs. So how do we compete in the new global economy? Sensitivity! Compassion! Ingenuity! In short, melding our right-brain (emotional) propensities with our left-brain (analytical) capabilities. And how do we do that? What will we reap if we succeed? Read this inspiring work, and prepare to take a new enlightened path to success in business and in life.
