Book Synopsis
Learn how to achieve success—and eat your marshmallows, too—with this motivational, life-changing book.

What explains the difference between success and failure? And what does it mean to you and your children?

The lesson wasn’t lost on Joachim de Posada, a world-renowned motivational speaker to thousands of corporate executives and professional athletes. The “marshmallow theory” answered a thirty-year quest
