If anything, it’s about working with your emotions vs. against them. In fact, it’s about transforming your emotions into a powerful force so you take consistent action towards your big, harry challenges.

We’re definitely creates of emotion, but logic is our friend. For example, one key success pattern in life is delayed gratification. Emotionally, we want instant gratification, but if we rationalize and practice delayed gratification, we play a better game over time.

Thanks for this information, it sounds like something I would really enjoy reading.

I gather that emotions are huge part of this book and it reminds me of what I read from Dale Carnegie that we are creatures of emotion…not of logic.

Thanks JD.

@JD: You’ve done a GREAT job characterizing this book. I’ve been enjoying your recent book reviews. I’ve come to expect these useful sections:
Chapters at a Glance
What’s in it for You
Key Features
And of course then you customize what the book has to offer. I’ve just added this to the very short list of books in my on-deck queue. Thanks for letting us know about it!

I think the language is especially important because it makes a lot of ideas both easier to remember, and easier to put together.

It’s also action-oriented which helps put the ideas into practice.

Sounds very awesome. I am thrilled with your recommendations, JD. I enjoy self-improvement books and I believe that a positive push benefits everyone regardless of how fine they are.

Thank you!
