      -- Seven mindsets to live your ultimate life.
      By Shickler, Scott  Waller, Jeff
       2017., Next Century Publishing Call No: 158.1 SHI   Edition: Revised edition, Updated worldwide edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: If everyone wants to live happy and successful lives, then why do so few achieve it? This simple question launched an exhaustive study into the commonalities of the world?́?s happiest and most successful people. We spent thousands of hours analyzing research and conducting our own. We tracked down and interviewed over 400 highly successful people. We combed through over 200 biographies and best-selling success stories. We left no stone unturned. So, what do the happiest and most successful people have in common? It turns out that it?́?s not related to geography, race, or gender. It?́?s not whether they grew up in loving homes or broken homes, nor whether their families were affluent or impoverished. It even has nothing to do with their education level, nor with their specific skill sets. In fact, what they all actually have in common is their mindsets?́Œ how they think! The 7 Mindsets provide the foundation for lives filled with extraordinary meaning, fulfillment and success on one?́?s own terms. And perhaps our most surprising discovery was that the vast majority of people are not only not living the 7 Mindsets, but are actually thinking and acting in direct opposition to them. The findings are revolutionary and have positively impacted countless lives. If you?́?re ready to live your ultimate life and help ensure that future generations do as well, then this is a must read. .

Now available with a new introduction by Christine Hong and in a wide-format artist edition, this graphic novel can reach a new generation of readers and scholars. "[Mine Okubo] took her months of life in the concentration camp and made it the material for this amusing, heart-breaking book. The moral is never expressed, but the wry pictures and the scanty words make the reader laugh--and if he is an American too--blush." "A remarkably objective and vivid and even humorous account. In dramatic and detailed drawings and brief text, she documents the whole episode. all that she saw, objectively, yet with a warmth of understanding." -New York Times Book Review"--
