This is a great, very simple, self-help book. I have a lot going on in my life – always have - I mean, who doesn't? I consider myself goal oriented and motivated – otherwise, how else would I explain getting where I am today. :) I push my kids to always strive harder – you have to work hard to play harder, right?! And who doesn't like to play? Anyway, I was drawn to this book because recently we hit a bump in the road (or maybe several small to medium sized ones), and I am ready to get over it, move on, and continue toward future goals. This book is divided in to 62 chapters, each beginning with a multiple choice question. I thought “I got this!”, but to my surprise, I failed to correctly answer many more of these questions than I am willing to admit. This book is the push that I needed to move forward! I hope... and plan... to implement many of these discipline techniques into my everyday life. Thank you Kirk Mahoney for the free book!
