This guide is for anyone who has ever felt they are not living life to the full. It advises how to improve self-discipline, discover hidden talents and bring out the best in yourself. To reach hidden talents, the book recommends destroying two self-defeating thoughts: 1) it is easier to avoid a difficult task than to face it; 2) if you can't do something right don't do it at all. Case histories are used to illustrate the damaging effects of these two ideas.
