Attitude is Everything Review

While browsing through the self-help section of the library, I was looking for some inspirational books to get me through the winter doldrums.  I spied "Attitude is Everything," and took it off the shelf.  "Ten Life-Changing Steps to Turning Attitude Into Action," it said on the cover.

The introductory chapter quickly summarized the ten steps:

1.  Understand the power of attitude.

2. Choose to take charge of your life.

3.  Identify through self-awareness the attitudes that hold you back or propel you forward.

4.  Reframe your bad attitude.

5.  Find your purpose and passion.

6.  Be pre-active

7.  Discover how to motivate yourself.

8.  Build supportive relationships.

9. See change as an opportunity.

10.  Leave a lasting legacy.

Keith Harrell put those steps into action and landed a job at IBM.  For fourteen years, he worked in the corporate world and realized he wanted to be his own boss.  Putting those steps into action, he became a successful motivational speaker.  

I really enjoyed this book because Keith shared his personal journey as well as the journey of many others.  While the steps above are typical of self-help books, Keith takes them beyond the typical "how-to" and  shows how to put those steps into place and make changes in life.

I borrowed this as a library book but I'm planning to purchase a copy to read again-- it's that good!
