Short description

What if 70% of the people you came in contact with every day were glad to be with you? Would that change your life? Could you deal better with the 30%? This book will help your self-esteem by showing you that the 70% does indeed exist and how to let them build you up!

Extended description

I was a fairly successful husband, father and businessman, but one thing held me back. My self image and self worth always seemed to be driven by those few people with whom I just didn't connect. I missed out on seeing how many people, including my family, placed a high value on interacting with me because of these few who rejected me personally or professionally.

It wasn't until I made a conscious decision to pay attention to those around me who gave me a positive feeling about the interaction, that I realized how valuable they were. I began to feel better about myself by investing in this group - the 70% of those around me who responded positively to me.

By doing this I was better able to observe and understand my interactions with the 30% and realized it was not about a character flaw on my part, there just wasn't a match of personalities or purposes. I was then able to build relationships with these people by not depending on them for my self value!
