Moving Forward Turning Good Intentions Into Great Results by Discovering Yourself, Your Place, & Your Path by Paul Edward, PhD

Excerpted Review

I assume that people interested in life-coaching books have tried Dr. Phil and Tony Robbins. So why are they still looking? My guess is that the approach of modifying behavior by being conscious of the results of our actions only goes so far. Paul Edward provides a psychological model that is deeper. He identifies the resources (friends, business associates and family) that can be the meta-structure we need for lasting behavioral modification. I teach writing workshops and have discovered the same thing. All the tools in the world won’t help if a person doesn’t have correct orientation and a positive support system in place. There are five strategies for moving forward in life. Each is given a thorough explanation with examples. I particularly like the exercises (and there are more as we get further into the material) so the reader can internalize the ideas and start to experience the difference his or her new realizations can make. I love the one on assessing ways in which others communicate, the pie chart for balancing time allocation and the one for reformatting material dreams. The decision making section was particularly revealing to me as someone who for years made his living in sales and marketing. My intention was not to sell someone something he or she didn’t want (and would later resent me for) but to provide enough information so that person could make a good decision based upon their own needs and desires. For some people this is "sensory" and for others "intuitive." Being able to assess the difference, as the author points out, makes life easier in both personal and professional relationships. Here you will find a clear exploration of types of relationships and a practical formula for achieving success (Dream + Plan = Life Vision). But read this book, not only because the material is well presented and makes you think, but also because it will enrich important aspects of your life, and, yes, allow you to "move forward." - John Lehman, February 2008 Read Full review.
