Publisher's summary

If you are looking for a clear and honest guide to finding your best self, this is it.

Dr. Harry D. Cohen, translates the heliotropic effect into psychology terms: the tendency of living organisms to turn toward the sun. Using this guide is the key to improving relationships in both the workplace and in personal relationships. Harry speaks of inspiration, motivation, and of happiness in a way that triggers mindfulness. Be the Sun, Not the Salt teaches leadership by action and thought. This book is the embodiment of powerful leadership and changing behavior for self-improvement. Harry completed his undergraduate degree at Cornell and studied his PhD in psychology at the University of Michigan. He is a local to Ann Arbor, Michigan and believes strongly in the power of leadership through practice. Harry recapped his psychology theory on a TEDx Talk for Elon University of how the benefits of compassion, best self, and positive intent can lead to success.

Be the Sun, Not the Salt is a leadership book that gives the psychology behind thought and helps apply it in real situations. Be the Sun, Not the Salt takes a different view on popular applied psychology by providing practical strategies. The psychology behind the book can help motivate you to be joyous, positive, and selfless. The book is meant for business leaders, parents, and teachers with a thought evoking style that is straight-forward.

Fans of Dare to Lead, Leaders Eat Last, Thinking: Fast and Slow, Hello Sunshine, and The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life will enjoy this empowering self-help book.

Very persuasive!

Love the way that makes you see that sometimes we choose to react instead listen and don't take things personally seriously. Most of the time the anger that others project on us is a reflection of theier impotent feelings toward us, ignore them and they will get cause and effect all together without affecting you. .Choose to be the Sun and don't let the Salt of others affect you!. love the book. Very pleasant voice!

Excellent perspective!

It’s very simple, but effective. I was able to listen in one sitting. I am buying the book as well to refer to during rough times.

Great book if you like being lectured at.

Okay, okay already. Of course it's good information. And, a long list of things we should all be doing. But, I really felt like I was being lectured to by Mother for an hour: be nice to people, eat your vegetables, and on, and on, and on.
