Stick To It! The Power Of Positive Persistence

by C. Leslie Charles.

Persistence is the most important behavior required by those wanting to make lifestyle changes that last. Stick To It! is like a vitamin a day in persistence nutrition.

The cornerstone of this book is the understanding that we are alil able to improve through gradualism: the consistent and persistent application of new and better ideas and new ways of thinking.

Every time I pick up this book, I smile, nod, sigh and recommit myself to life. This book is also written by a woman who "walks her talk." May I suggest you take her insights as your "One A Day" to encourage you to "keep on keepin' on" in your commitment to centered, healthy living. To order, call 1-800-670-7535.

I have rarely had as much fun reading a book, nor one that I learned so much from. Halfway through the book, I was so inspired and excited, I put the book down and reorganized my office. I created an environment that "reflected my style," which inspired me to be more creative and efficient.

The book's visuals and action idea sections are humorous, powerful and memorable. Ann McGee-Cooper hits on all the important aspects of creating a life that is health enhancing, creativity triggering and highly productive -- all of which positively affects your home and work. A must read keeper. (I buy copies at Target !)

My defining statement is to help women simplify their lives and take charge of their health. In

keeping with that, I've found two "gotta have" books.

This book will help you simplify your life by focusing on your purpose and passion. This book is filled with insights and practical suggestions designed to trigger an inner awareness that will stimulate your own sense of purpose.

With stories to inspire and steps to follow you will discover as she did, "It is not about fame or fortune or field of endeavor. It is simply about discovering our own personal reason for being."
