Par Dennis Merritt Jones. 2018

This book will help readers open their eyes to the limitless abundance that lies waiting just beyond their current belief system.

Par Amanda Lang. 2017

Some were forced into discomfort through no choice of their own - a life-altering illness, a business fiasco - while others signed up for it because they had goals they were determined to achieve. Becoming comfortable with discomfort won’t just make us more resilient and more successful, however we define success. It will also make us happier. 2017.The art of insight: how to have more aha! moments (Your coach in a box)
