How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be: The 25 Principles of
Success was published in 2007. This book gives people tools about how to become
more successful at reaching their goals, whatever those goals might be. One of the
reviewers from Amazon called it a "lovely and insightful book. Remember this one
thing from the book. It is always your fault and you must always blame yourself for
something wrong in your life. Too many people I know live in denial of their own
lives and cover it up with butterflies and ponies and rainbows. But life is about facing
tough challenges and [how] you create your own path."
