Keys: Open the Door to True Empowerment and Infinite Possibilities

It begins:"We know from history that unless we're challenged, human nature has a tendancy to settle for mediocrity". It continues on to encourage that appropriate challenge. The keys (although you really need to read the book to get the true value): Awareness - I spend a lot of time soul searching. Trying to figure out where my greatest values lie. The better I know myself, the better I am able to add value. Acceptance - I fight this one - always "working" to change anything that I think needs changing. I realize at some level this causes me angst and does not allow me to be as zen and part of me thinks I should be. Forgiveness - This assumes that we are not taking control of our own reactions to things. No one can make us feel bad. True maturity would be not having to forgive because we take full responsibility for our reactions. Freedom - The ultimate goal. The keys are simple and obvious which are usually the best sort of reminders. The book is short, easy to read and fast which I like. To get the best value though, it needs to be pondered. I liked Denise's previous book - Calm (even though it was written for women) so I knew I would like this one.
