Focused Determination: How to Engineer Your Life to Maximise Your Happiness

by Skills Converged

Have you ever read an interesting book on success, motivation and happiness but was left at the end with the question, “So what do I need to do?” The majority of self-help books are inspiring and exciting, but they fail to provide clear and easy-to-follow instructions on what to do.

There is no generic formula that leads to a satisfied life. However, in the past few decades, we have learned a lot about the underlying principles of success. There is plenty to learn from high achievers who have been applying these principles to their lives. This book has been designed as a self-study course to help you carry out a comprehensive self-analysis. It will help you ask the right questions to get the right answers. Each chapter contains examples, inspiring stories, guidelines and exercises that will give you an insight into what you truly want in life. Chapter by chapter, you will learn to acquire the right habits that will get you closer to your goals and, ultimately, to a happier and more satisfying life.

At Skills Converged, we specialise in developing soft-skills training materials for the international training community. This book is the result of years of experience in training people on personal and interpersonal skills.

* How to make yourself happy

Reviews

[Paul-Franklin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is more structured and organised than most self-help books and the practical exercises and examples make it resemble a workbook more than an inspirational story telling attempt. It does not try to state the obvious and expand it to 300 pages like a lot of self-help books do these days. What I liked most about this book was its straight forward and no nonsense approach to goal setting and achieving your objectives in your personal and professional life. There is a lot of information out there on these topics and unfortunately a lot of them are repeats and rehash of what has been said before. So it is refreshing when a book brings your attention to more unexplored techniques and helpful attitudes.
