      OVERVIEW

      TOP SECRETS BUILDING A BETTER YOU developed out of a radio program I did from September 2009 to February 2010 called CHANGEMAKERS through HealthyLife.Net Radio, which is syndicated to 400,000 plus listeners, primarily throughout the U.S. The program focused on change – in society and in oneself. As part of this program, which explored new ventures, discoveries, social trends, explorations in human consciousness, and more provided some tips and techniques for changing and improving yourself.

      TOP SECRETS FOR BUILDING A BETTER YOU features these tips and techniques and builds upon ideas for personal and professional development described in some of my other books, including techniques for visualizing and getting what you want in life -- WANT IT, SEE IT, GET IT! VISUALIZE YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS; MIND POWER: PICTURE YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS; THE EMPOWERED MIND: HOW TO HARNESS THE CREATIVE FORCE WITHIN YOU; PLAYING THE LYING GAME; 30 DAYS TO A MORE POWERFUL MEMORY; RESOLVING CONFLICT; and many others.

      In some of the chapters, the initial discussion and tips for making changes in one’s life is followed by a guided visualization, which I created for the first five radio shows. Once you have the general idea, you can create your own visualizations.
