Laugh your way to success....

Who says you have to "get serious" to get everything you want out of life? According to Steve Rizzo, The Attitude Adjuster, you simply need to shift your attitude to get the ball rolling, both at work and in your personal life. In his funny and moving motivational guide, Rizzo shares the life-changing secrets that helped him confront his fears and shift from a promising career as a stand-up comic to his incredible success as a public speaker. Packed with humor, charm, and mind-altering insights - no, not that kind! - Rizzo's unique approach will show you how to:

• Find the humor in every situation
• Turn negatives into positives - every single day
• Make your workplace the best place to succeed
• Stop being a full-time resident of the Negative Zone
• Face your fears and get on with your life
• Make happiness a choice - and have fun doing it

Throughout the book, you'll find specific attitude-adjustment strategies that you can apply to every aspect of your professional and personal life. You'll learn how to avoid the Eeyore Syndrome, tap into your Humor Being, turn self-doubt into self-confidence, and make everyday conversations more engaging and more productive. You'll discover a tried-and-true method for shutting down that self-defeating Big Mouth inside your head - so you can listen to what's inside your heart. Along the way, you'll hear about Rizzo's enlightening firsthand encounters with Eddie Murphy, Rodney Dangerfield, Naomi Judd, Christopher Reeve, and many more. It's all you need to get your shift together, and that's no joke.

When the shift hits the fan, your new life begins - with love, with joy, and, of course, with laughter.
