Summary

Our lives today are like a juggling act. Many things can zap self-confidence and our natural lust for life. Peiffer explains that it is time we learned to take responsibility for ourselves. All too often we hide behind our problems to prevent ourselves from making necessary changes in our lives. Peiffer helps you set up a personal success program that looks at stress at work and at home, pinpoints how stress, worry and other confidence zappers develop, and tackles the symptoms of an unhealthy lifestyle. You too can discover that there really are no limits to what you can achieve.
