THE 5 DISCIPLINES OF POWERFUL PEOPLE How to Keep the Promises You Make to Yourself

Powers is a steady and enjoyable narrator of this flawlessly organized guide to doing what you want in life. His voice sounds perky at first—optimistic and friendly—but it quickly gains power, giving the audio momentum and adding weight to the familiar components of the material. The five steps, or disciplines, couldn’t be presented more clearly: (1) make a conscious choice, (2) become passionate about it, (3) create a detailed action plan, (4) find the inner resolve to be persistent, and (5) manage time thoughtfully. The program is a great example of how an intelligent writer who cares about his message can breathe new life into personal achievement principles that have been around for ages. With a printable 28-page workbook. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2008]
