Unlock the door to personal power, happiness, achievement, and strength in any situation
In The Science of Personal Power, renowned professor and persuasion expert Chris Lipp reveals how to bridge the science of inner well-being with the science of outer achievement by developing personal power - a concept that, when put into practice, is a panacea for both happiness and success. Unlike formal power, which focuses on authority and control, personal power is about how we feel about our own capability to create impact. When we feel big, we show up big, and when we show up big, we can change the world. This book offers a transformative approach to completely revamp every aspect of your life, starting with your present mindset and extending to long-term career advancement, financial success, and beyond.
- Enhanced Self-Confidence: Learn how to feel more capable and impactful in your daily life.
