You can win in the game of life!Have you ever wondered about the difference between those who win at love and live, and those who fail? By carefully observing people who gave him a certain “deja vu” feeling when he first met them, Dr. Henry Cloud made a remarkable discovery. No, he hadn’t actually met these people before, but he had encountered their particular ways of handling life. And the common denominator with these individuals who practiced these “ways” was they were all successful!They all… – Had healthy relationships – Reached their goals – Did not repeat the same mistakes – Were in control of their lives – Felt a sense of purposeDr. Cloud then decided to do something that was not the focus of his clinical training: investigate why successful people’s lives were working, rather than trying to uncover what was broken in a person and trying to fix it. He learned that personal growth is not only about getting healthy, but also about the principles successful people invariably practice.If you follow these nine principles, you can achieve great results in y our work, your relationships, and other areas of your life. Best of all, these principles are not limited to the chose few who are born with money, brains, or great talent. They’re available to anyone who wants to transform average relationships and uncertain hopes into vibrant and achievable dreams. Amazon review5.0 out of 5 stars Life-changing and life-defining book! By  Linda M. Chang (California)   Easy-to-read content with clear, pertinent examples of each of the ‘9 things’ we must do to experience personal and professional success. Very common sense stuff. The presentation is like concentrated orange juice: it’s weighty content that most of us have heard about in a watered down manner, or we KNOW it’s true, but it’s in the BACK of our minds, not in the forefront. Cloud brings these significant issues to the FOREFRONT of our minds, and he makes them memorable so that they will be imprinted on our minds, if we choose to adopt them. I have a friend who can’t quickly get through the book b/c the truth is hard to embrace, sometimes. This material can be VERY CHALLENGING to adopt and apply in our lives, but, I’m living a much more peaceful and fulfilling life by just applying what I’ve learned so far, and I’m only about 80% through the book…. It’s only when we challenge ourselves that true growth takes place. Growth never comes easily. http://www.amazon.com/Nine-Things-You-Simply-Must/dp/1591450098
