Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Stuff happens! People lose jobs, get divorced, or suffer emotional pain from the loss of good friends or lovers. Even a flat tire that results in an important lost appointment can be traumatic. Let’s face it, sooner or later bad stuff happens to everyone. But it isn’t what happens to you that’s important, it’s how you respond to what happens.

Stuff Happens (and then you fix it!) is a simple guide for getting through life’s rough spots and turning obstacles into opportunities for growth. Renowned speaker and performance strategist John Alston and Emmy Award—winning director-producer Lloyd Thaxton present nine uplifting and inspirational Reality Rules for dealing with trying times. Whether you’ve suffered professional failures or personal difficulties, keeping these rules in mind every day will give you the attitude adjustment you need to succeed. Each rule is explained in detail and illustrated with real-life stories and parables that offer the encouragement, support, and knowledge you need to get back on your feet when life knocks you down. It’s an enlightening blend of practical real-world philosophy for living and inspirational tales that show that no matter how big the problem, you can make your life work again. Some get it, some don’t. Some will, some won’t. Those that do, do. Those that don’t, don’t. You want to get it? Read this book and you’ll get it.
