Recommendation

John C. Maxwell has sold more than 21 million books worldwide because he offers accessible advice that inspires, motivates and educates. In his latest offering, he packs each chapter with information on how to live a better life, develop sustaining relationships and lead others. Maxwell outlines his take on the important principles of personal growth. Read them, apply them, live better and grow. Despite some repetition – within this book and compared to his other books of friendly counsel – getAbstract recommends Maxwell’s uplifting guidance to his loyal constituency and to all self-help readers who want to visit with a master of the genre.

Speaker and author Florence Littauer wrote about her father’s failed ambition to become a singer.
