Description
Book SynopsisRobert Kelsey s What s Stopping You? has become a self-help classic. His What s Stopping You? books have helped thousands of people worldwide overcome their limiting beliefs and bash through their barriers to success.
Trade ReviewIf there s one book you actually finish reading in 2014, make it this one. (Elite Business, January 2014) his pally yet tough approach to self-improvement makes for good reading. By laying bare his own experiences, he quickly builds up a level of trust and empathy that would warm the cockles of the most cynical of readers. (Third Sector, February 2014) Personally I can see myself raiding it a lot for ideas as it calls me to tailor my plans, separate my trash from my treasure and stops my inbox ruling my life. (The Bookbag, February 2014) Full of practical advice and lots of tips on how to enhance your current situation, Kelsey offers a pragmatic and honest approach to day-to-day living and its annoyances.
