Norman Vincent Peale weighs in on the power of positive thinking; Tom Hopkins, one of America's leading sales trainers, talks at length about dedication; Zig Ziglar shares insights on the topic of mentors and lessons for positive living; and Mary Kay Ash discusses enthusiasm and attitude. Also included are specific strategies for jumpstarting your drive to succeed, including:

  • Four ways to pursue happiness
  • Four ways to deal with indecision
  • Ten rules for success
  • Five motivational principles for handling life's rough spots
