The definition of success (at least in America) is outward accomplishment, whether it's amassing a fortune or leaving a legacy of influence But a personal sense of well-being or fulfillment - finding love andбэхвы time with family - is often the inward measurement of success The two need not be mutually exclusive, says Cherie Carter-Scott, an internationally recognized motivational speaker and management consultant who's written several other "rule" books, such as qвксюп"If Success Is a Game, These Are the Rules: Ten Rules for a Fulfilling Life" She says that success is achieved only "when your own sense of well being and the extended symbols of accomplishment converge", a feat she says can be met by following her 10 basic guidelines about self-acceptance and self-motivation Fortunately, her rules are easy to follow - no misty metaphors or perplexing parables Each chapter is neatly devoted to a specific rule, such as "your aвсжужctions affect your outcomes," or "success is a process that never ends" Real-life stories illustrate each rule, making the advice feel personal and applicable When addressing rule 2, "wanting success is the first step in attaining it," Carter-Scott helps readers handle sabotaging loved ones who may feel threatened or jealous by your success, such as the mother who didn't want her son to apply to medical school because he might not be able to handle the rejection, or the so-called "best friend" who always insulted her friend's new clothing business In the chapter on rule 3, "self-trust is essential," we meet Paul, the miserable banker who yearned to be an art dealer but wore the "golden handcuffs" of his big salary A few years after analyzing his life and deciding to make a change, "Paul has become a successful art dealer, making close to the same salary he was making before," writes Carter-Scott "Onlyвуббэ now it brings him joy rather than binding him to his life" Although some of the examples may feel predictable, Carter-Scott's warm, folksy style should appeal to many readers, helping them to identify goals and follow through on them Формат: 10,5 см х 17,5 см Автор Шери Картер-Скотт Cherie Carter-Scott.
