Break free of your destructive relationship with money, and learn how money can make you happy. Our relationship with money is one that lasts a lifetime.

This book turns these questions upside down, and looks not at money itself, but at the way we view it. How does money drive us? How does it frighten us?

A written leadership philosophy, which we call The Leader's Compass, achieves the same thing on a personal level; it lets people know what you expect, what you value, how you'll act, and how you'll measure performance, with the additional benefits of making the workplace less stressful and more productive. And, like a compass, it helps to keep you, the leader, on course.

We all eventually ask ourselves the question, "Am I making a difference?" We want our lives to have meaning. But just as an airline flight attendant will tell you to put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others, getting your own life together is the first step to making a positive impact on the world around you. In this new book, FranklinCovey cofounder Hyrum Smith shows that achieving a meaningful, fulfilling, and impactful life is a straightforward process.

This audiobook aims to encourage a person's own thinking, not to influence it. The author believes the extensions of thought from any human being are so profuse, they are countless. Normally, there is no cohesiveness of thought. We are consistent neither in our thinking nor in our behavior. We are not wholly integrated persons and cannot, therefore, firmly and positively achieve inner growth. Having your own personal philosophy will give you personal unity. It will allow you to maximize your potential. A person with a philosophy is a mover; without it, one floats and is moved.

Positive thinking is one of the fundamental attributes which can have an effect on both our mental and physical well-being. With it we can overcome serious obstacle in life, learn to life with chronic conditions, or improve our work and personal lives. Without it we run the risk of failing at every turn and never realizing our full potential. This book will go in depth into the optimal ways of changing your thought patterns that will help you develop your positivity, optimism, and happiness.
