There aren’t too many things in this world that have the power to dramatically change your life. Yet, bookstores, and television and radio ads are full of resources that promise to do just that. Nothing Changes Until You Do, Think and Grow Rich, The Power of Now, The 48 Laws of Power, the list could go on. The search for improvement is intense. Why?
