This new eBook is almost ready for you.
So I thought I would send out a little teaser.
101+ Pathways will soon be available to all current and new subscribers totally free.
Of course subscribing is also free – always has been and always will be. There is no advertising, no spam and never any sharing of your personal information. No benefits accrue to me whatsoever. (You probably already knew this.)
Here is the a brief summary and Table of Contents to whet your appetite.
Introduction
This is not a book about tricks, hacks or even techniques. This book is about ideas and strategies – ways of seeing ourselves, our actions and our ways of looking at the world.
My focus is not to help you feel a certain way. It is about helping you get stronger and more accomplished in your daily life.
After my PhD in clinical psychology, I worked in the field for 30+ years. I have learned a lot about how people work and have put some of that knowledge together here.
I read a lot of books about self-improvement and performance. If I get one good idea from a book, I am a happy man. I hope you can gain at least one good idea to help guide your life and to help you get more meaningful things done.
This ebook is filled with many ideas that I have used to guide my life. And I am glad to share them with you here.
Let’s dig right in.
