8 to Great - by Mk Mueller (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Purpose ─ Passion ─ Success!

8 to Great, revised!

Positive attitude for positive changes: This groundbreaking and practical book offers a simple, yet powerful, 8-step process for taking charge of your life and achieving your dreams, using author MK Mueller's unique formula for "positive attitude". Positive attitude is everything for achieving greater happiness, health and success, yet no one, until now, has given the world a formula that is simple enough to remember and use on a daily basis.

Mueller's "FGH" formula: FGH ─ Forgiveness of the past, Gratitude for the present and Hope for the future. In 8 to Great you will learn how Mueller's five "High-Ways" address the most common stumbling blocks to using FGH:

• High-Way 1: Get the Picture. It reminds us how to clearly see our dreams happening and "think it till we feel it."
• High-Way 2: Risk. Once the picture is clear, we must "run to, not from" and face our fears in order to move forward.
• High-Way 3: Full Responsibility. Rather than a burden, this is the key to freedom as we discover that we are the only problem we have and therefore, we are the solution.
• High-Way 4: Feel All Your Feelings. For those suffering with depression or rage, this chapter unfolds amazing insights into how Mad and Sad balance each other.
• High-Way 5: Honest Communication. When you're ready to stop getting defensive in arguments and be done with triangulation in the workplace, Mueller shows the way with down-to-earth examples of her clients' success stories.

New level of self-esteem and well-being: In 8 to Great you will learn how the High-Ways provide a step-by-step process that helps you find greater happiness and success. The fact that Mueller has also created a widely-used curriculum for high schools based on her concepts is testimony to the fact that her methods are simple without being sugar-coated, and powerful without being pompous. 8 to Great will take you from wherever you are in life and provide a springboard into a new level of well-being and joy. Whether for yourself or someone you love, 8 to Great is an investment that is sure to bless and bliss your world.

But I picked it up upon recommendation, determined only to skim and bin. Well, you can only but guess my complete shock when my surface skiing became more like deep sea diving and my life is now transformed. Strong words I know in such a short time period (I picked up the book 12 days ago) but the insights and wisdom are mind-blowing. My energy levels are, like the good Lord - Most High - and each day I chase the dream. Thank you for this bloody brilliant book. You have given me, and all of us, a priceless gift: the permission to be great." -Ray Lewis Asst. to Boris Johnson, Mayor of London "What really impressed me is the Three Promises that are made at the start of the book. MK has absolutely delivered on these three promises and am seeing results every day since.
