Product Description
From the Author
I have made the best book I could. It is a hardbound litho-label, which means it has no dust cover. The cover design is laminated right onto the cover. And it is a sewn binding, which is kind of rare these days, even for a hard-bound book. Sewn bindings lay open easier and don't crack or fall apart, even after years of hard use.
And this book is designed to be USED. It is made to be referred to when you need some counsel. The chapters are short and always end with a simply-stated principle you can apply.
Since the things we learn are not etched in stone but stored in a gooey organ, it's important to not only learn good ideas, but to be reminded of them when we need them. Probably the best way to use Self-Help Stuff That Works is to browse the book when you're feeling a negative emotion like stress or frustration or annoyance. Leaf through the book looking for a chapter that answers your situation. Most of the chapters are short enough to read in five minutes or less. You'll come away from it with a tool you can use to improve either your situation or your attitude toward it.

"It really does work. It's clean and concise, genuinely usable information, without any of the psycho-babble." - Dan Murphy, Afternoon Host, KIXI-AM Radio
"His 'stuff' makes improving myself a fun adventure." - Bob Alford, Manager of Technical Services
"Adam Khan is one of the good guys who genuinely likes people and wants to help them. He was voted the readers' favorite, not only because he's fun to read, but because he has a talent for absorbing large quantities of information, figuring out what's really useful, and relaying those insights in a way that leaves you with tools for building a better life.

Zev Saftlas, Author of Motivation That Works: How to Get Motivated and Stay Motivated
Format:Hardcover
the wonder of this text is it has only 2 pages for each chapter, thus it makes easy reading. the first part of book is devoted to attitudes. the book contains true stories about people who have used the principles. other chapters deal with the mind and how it can be programmed to do what is desirable.also included are "work principles". i recommend this book to all who need 'self-help' guidance.

Ladies and Gentlemen, This book is a very helpful to the common joe with not much time but a strong desire for self improvement. We all have days where we just want to be uplifted, yet we dont always have 45 minutes to read a chapter on how to improve self esteem and happiness. The most important thing in self help, in my opinion is that you have a good mental coach, a good concience rooting you in the right direction. When your feeling down, a good mental coach (aka your mind if you haven't gotten that yet), will tell you how to direct your life. The length of the chapters is just a nice little meal for your mental coach to help you learn without having to completely smother your mind with extra information that isn't very helpful. So ladies and Gents, buy the book if you want the help without sacrificing all the time. It really is worth it.
