I’m just a fan of Amen and his books never disappoint because there is always new information and room for self discovery.

This books dives not only into the realm of career but so much further into personal, love & business relationships. It helps you navigates through events of the past that could affect the way you process success today.

Enjoy!

3.75-4 stars. Many reminders and guidance that were golden. About 25% that didn’t apply to me or seemed ridiculous. Well worth the read for anyone wanting to get on track or get back on track.
