There is something I call the "Echo Factor". All of the things we have been told all our lives are like shouting into a canyon. For example, if you shout, "You are incapable and a big dummy!" It comes back slightly reduced in volume, "big dummy-big dummy-big-dummy." This is the same as if we give ourselves the affirmation, "I am capable and significant" but at first it comes back as "You are a big dummy, big dummy, big dummy." This is because for so long we had built up a big negative, and...

Do you feel confident, capable, and ready for life's challenges? If that is how you see yourself, then this book is not for you. But if you have doubt about yourself and feel inadequate when compared to those around you, then this book could change your life. To question our capability when contrasted against others is normal. Whether you are in your youth when it seems life goes on forever, or if you have decades of scars and successes, failings, or fortune — every one of the following st...

This book is about embracing your shortcomings and recognizing how they connect you to all humanity. Our sense of being inferior, inadequate, and less significant all derives from assuming that we alone have an exclusive corner on the market of inadequacy. We don't. The stories in this book highlight how all of us are truly ignorant and incapable in the vast majority of the human arena. No matter how bright the person you admire might be, they are ignorant and incompetent in most human act...

In writing this book at the age of 78, I ask myself, what are some of the lessons I've learned that could have made my life easier? The predominant thought that seems to bump like a helium balloon at the ceiling of my brain would have been the knowledge that almost everyone around me felt the same sense of inadequacy and lack of confidence as I did. The fact that you might question your capability when contrasted against others is normal. I like the quote from Einstein: "Everybody's a geni...

Mistakes are a part of being human and it's a mistake to condemn ourselves for coming up short.The world is filled with tales of people who have failed, yet these same people are individuals who we both know and associate with success. The same choice can be ours.

What other people say to us may or may not be important, but what we say to ourselves is always important. This book provides the cognitive leap that can cure the wildly destructive notion of "I'm not smart enough to try". Instead, you can embrace your shortcomings and recognize them for how they connect us all. Our feelings of being inferior derive from assuming that we alone have a private corner on imperfection. We don't.

The predominant thought would have been the knowledge that almost everyone felt the same sense of inadequacy as I did. To question our capability when contrasted against others is normal. I like the quote from Einstein: “Everybody’s a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Whether you are in your...

How we define ourselves has a profound effect on our lives. To view our ability as limited means we will wrongly live a mediocre life. The speech we didn’t give, the attractive person we didn’t approach, or the questions we failed to ask, all because of our inner voice that whispers: “Don’t embarrass yourself. They are all smarter than you.” We are condemned to mediocrity by listening to those negative voices. These four books will change your voice to: “Yes, I can make it happen. I can do...
