In your hands, you hold the secret to transforming your life. Big words? Yes, but this is a plan that has already proven itself with millions of people around the world. In a Sunday-morning sermon, Will told his congregation he wanted to make the world a complaint-free zone and, to prove he was serious, he passed out purple bracelets to each church member and offered them a challenge. "If you catch yourself complaining, take the bracelet and move it to the other wrist."

Intuition is one of the most powerful decision-making forces in our possession. Yet instead of tapping into it, we frequently ignore it. We weigh arguments, make lists of pros and cons, and listen to every voice except the one that truly matters: our own.

You always knew digital was going to change things, but you didn’t realize how close to home it would hit. In every industry, digital competitors are taking advantage of new platforms, tools, and relationships to undercut rivals, get closer to customers, and disrupt the usual ways of doing business. The only way to compete is to evolve. James McQuivey of Forrester Research has been teaching people how to do this for more than a decade. He’s gone into the biggest companies, even in traditional industries like insurance and consumer packaged goods, and changed the way they think about innovation.

In this 45-minute listen, a former spy introduces two simple tools for thinking. The first describes how we think. The second helps us think ahead. They are the essential tools for getting things done. The tools are applied to an incident in a subway car in Europe where a spy faces a new enemy. Then, they're reapplied to Saddam Hussein's stockpiling (or not) of weapons of mass destruction.

These rare, never-before-seen lectures were thought to be lost to history. Until now. Given exclusive access to the archives of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, Jeffrey Gitomer has unearthed Hill’s original course notes containing the fundamental beliefs in hard work and personal development that established Hill as a global leader of success and positive attitude.

Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, a classic best seller, has inspired an optimistic perspective for millions of Americans. Now, in an inspirational and entertaining rebuttal, the legendary basketball coach Bob Knight explains why "negative thinking" will actually produce more positive results, in sports and in daily life. Coach Knight, the second-winningest coach in NCAA history with 902 victories, explains that victory is often attained by the team that makes the fewest mistakes. His coaching philosophy was to instill discipline by "preparing to win" rather than hoping to win.

Excellent!
Where does Happy This Year! rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was my first audiobook... just what I needed to hear.
What did you like best about this story?
It was as if he was speaking directly to me. I could really relate to the subject and he gave clear steps to follow to become a happier person.
Have you listened to any of Will Bowen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It was too long for one sitting but I wanted to hurry up and get back to listening to it again.

Nice choice for something upbeat
Would you consider the audio edition of Happy This Year! to be better than the print version?
Yes. Audiobooks are my choice 90% of the time now over print.
What about Will Bowen’s performance did you like?
He's upbeat, clear, relatable, not overperforming.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reaction. Perfect book to listen to flying home from New Years vaca, facing back to work first Monday of the year.
Any additional comments?
This book caught me just when I needed something like this, at New Years.

Started out well
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
and I high hopes that the inspirational message that the author was trying to convey would continue but it quickly deteriorated into preaching and self-serving examples about what a great moral person he is. Ultimately a disappointment.

Be Happy
Will Bowen uses some interesting and effective tools to help with increasing your level of happiness. The first half to three-quarters of the book was full of great tips, advice and stories that I am putting into action. The last bit of the book was quite a bit slower and repetitive. I like his principles and I am happier from them.
