Recommendation

Motivational author John Maxwell’s warm, insightful book highlights the need for people to focus on something they unknowingly ignore: their attitude. All too often, people examine how they should act without examining their underlying point of view – the attitude that determines their relationship to life.

Though many of Maxwell’s easy-to-read motivational books are nonsectarian, he is a pastor and his Christian beliefs dominate here. getAbstract recommends his accessible ideas to anyone seeking a religious path to a boost in attitude.
