Success Sanity How to get everything you want without losing everything you are Author:Daniel E. Hegstad "Success & Sanity: How to get everything you want without losing everything you are" By Dan Hegstad Success & Sanity: How to get everything you want without losing everything you are asks the question: "How do you spell 'success'"? If it's "$ucce$$" we need to talk. Success & Sanity says you can (and must) build solid character the same w... more »ay you build your bank account. Success & Sanity asks you to really examine your attitude toward money. Is it "evil?" Is it power? Is there ever enough? What's it worth if your kids ask about that shadowy figure they sometimes see stealthing in and out at odd hours? Will it buy happiness? What is happiness, anyway? Would you know it if you had it? What kind of person do you want to be? Can you change who you are even if you're turning gray? (YES!) How can you maintain your sanity when everything around you is changing so fast? How can you have goals and still live for today? How can you try and "fail" without being a "failure?" How do you have high standards without becoming a perfectionist? How can you develop and maintain a positive attitude in a negative world without becoming cynical? Success & Sanity helps you answer these and many more questions. If you want a "feel good" book, Success & Sanity isn't for you, Success & Sanity is a do good book. It's a workbook. You are asked to think and rethink. You will be challenged to define and redefine your values, goals and character. At the end of several of the chapters I assign "homework" where you are asked to write, list, view and review. This is a book to be consumed! Most "self-help" books I've read have left me with the feeling that a successful person is one who quits his/her job and goes on to become a self-made millionaire. I don't think that is how most people spell success. We want money, of course, but more than great wealth we want a solid relationship with our spouse and children. We want to deserve the respect of our community and we want to be a trusted and valued employee. Success & Sanity: How to get everything you want without losing everything you are has it's roots in Think & Grow Rich, Personal Power, The Road Less Traveled, The Dilbert Principle and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.
