I’ve been noticing that an increasing number of my customers are out of balance. Too much work, too much time at the office, not keeping things in balance. I got a copy of True North from the library, and found the book so important that I ordered a dozed copies for these customers.
This book is destined to be a classic on the level of How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, and Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. As the compass on the cover shows, this book is about finding direction, and working with a leadership style that matches your soul’s purpose.
There are lots of resources available on the site. http://www.truenorthleaders.com/index.htm
