The Power of Thought: Ageless Secrets of Great Achievement

In his book "The Power of Thought" Glenn Bland provides us with the ageless secrets of great achievement. Each of us has the ability to be successful yet too few of us develop the values and beliefs - especially in ourselves - to achieve true success. By examining modern figures of success - W. Edwards Deming, Andre Carnegie, Henry Ford, Lee Iacocoa, Abraham Lincoln, Margaret Thatcher and others Glenn Bland shows us the common threads which weave through the lives of successful people. The key is that the common shared threads were not qualities one is born with rather they can be gained through learning and by maintaining the proper attitude. These essential traits of great achievers were based on the teachings of the past form Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus and Paul. These were the original "Positive Thinkers" and all after them have built on their foundation. Further more, Glenn shows how anyone can adopt this wisdom of the ages to achieve success in any endeavor, as well as find happiness, meaning, fulfillment and serenity in life.The final chapter in the book is devoted to the Classic Quotations of great achievers, as it is a wise person who learns to capitalize on the positive thoughts of other successful people. Another book, THE 2,000 PERCENT SOLUTION identifies the seven most common barriers, which prevent organizations reaching their full success. Employees make the successful organization. Their knowledge and skill requirements can be learned, but their positive attitude, the primary driver for successful organizations, is based on individual values and beliefs. In THE POWER OF THOUGHT, I particularly liked the "Power Thoughts" which accompanied each chapter. Let me share one with you - "Your vision is the signet of your destiny".

Glen Bland has brought together some of the most powerful concepts for the making of success for any person in any field and has put them into an easy to read, inspirational and motivating book that should be a required reading for anyone looking for solid principles for building a successful life. A must-read book for anyone wanting to do the best he or she can do.
