the great thing about this book is that it's not a "quick fix" type thing. instead it takes aim at our inner character and principles and teaches us how to center our lives around those and take control of our "circle of influence" as he calls it.
hope this helps you on your way.

After reading this, I went on Amazon and ordered this book. I've heard several people on TFP talk about this book and your post finally pushed me to get it.
I really feel like this book could help me out, as I have fears very similar to what lurkette is going through. I keep thinking that as soon as I finish school, or do this or do that, that I will finally live up to what I've always imagined myself doing or the person I've always imagined my self being. But I know when I was in high school, I expected myself to be a lot different in college than I actually am now that I am in college.
I realize now that I need to take active and bold steps to become the person I *want* to be. I hope this book pushes me in the right direction. Any other suggestions for lurkette and myself would be greatly appreciated.
Lurkette: Sorry I don't have any advice to help you out. I'm in a similar position as you are and need similar advice for myself. Good luck everything. I hope you get things straightened out.
