Change Your Attitude : Creating Success One Thought at a Time

This how-to-change manual demonstrates why the right attitude is the key to personal success. Change Your Attitude is a fast-paced reality check presenting 15 right attitudes that can help you achieve success and happiness. In a twist on the way we learned as children, the authors tell and show. After telling about each attitude and ways we can use to develop it, they show us people and organizations that exhibit that right attitude. Change Your Attitude profiles the right attitudes of more than 100 people, communities, companies, and agencies around the globe. Although many examples are well-known names, most are ordinary people with extraordinary attitudes. You'll read about Kirby Puckett, former star of the Minnesota Twins, and how his attitude of acceptance helped sustain him through a career-ending illness. Or about the attitude of teamwork that brought the World Trade Center back to life just weeks after it was crippled by a terrorist bomb. You'll also read about Trevor Ferrell, a Philadelphia teenager troubled by news reports about the homeless and who singlehandedly mobilized a massive relief effort. The message is simple: If these people changed their attitudes, so can we. In addition to giving living examples, Change Your Attitude includes journaling exercises and places to jot down your reactions to what you read. The more involved you are, the faster you can change your attitude. Change Your Attitude is a book you'll refer to again and again whenever you need a lift or a laugh, are looking for the motivation to change your attitude or create your own success.
