I’m Michal Stawicki and I live in Poland, Europe. I’ve been married for over 12 years and am the father of two boys and one girl. I work full time in the IT industry, and recently, I've become an author. My passions are transparency, integrity and progress.
In August 2012, I read a book called "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson. It took me a whole month to start implementing ideas from this book. That led me to reading numerous other books on personal development, some effective, some not so much. I took a look at myself and decided this was one person who could surely use some development.
In November of 2012, I created my personal mission statement; I consider it the real starting point of my progress. Over several months time, I applied several self-help concepts and started building inspiring results: I lost some weight, greatly increased my savings, built new skills and got rid of bad habits while developing better ones.
I'm very pragmatic, a "down to earth" person. I favor utilitarian, bottom-line results over pure artistry. Despite the ridiculous language, however, I found there is value in the "hokey-pokey visualization" stuff and I now see it as my mission to share what I have learned.
My books are not abstract. I avoid going mystical as much as possible. I don't believe that pure theory is what we need in order to change our lives; the Internet age has proven this quite clearly. What you will find in my books are:
- detailed techniques and methods describing how you can improve your skills and drive results in specific areas of your life
- real life examples
- personal stories
So, whether you are completely new to personal development or have been crazy about the Law of Attraction for years, if you are looking for concrete strategies, you will find them in my books. My writing shows that I am a relatable, ordinary guy and not some ivory tower guru.
"Up until now I would always recommend either The Coles Notes Your Guide To Speed Reading [...] But now my first pick will be Michal's book!"
- Steven R. McEvoy, BookReviewsAndMore.ca
"I picked up speed-reading about 3 decades ago, and life has never been the same after that! As a result, I have been recommending speed-reading to my counselees frequently, and even the other day someone asked me if I can point to a good book. [...] Over-all, here is an introductory level book that will benefit novices to speed-reading. I recommend it."
- Dr. Johnson C. Philip (Physics professor and speed reader; Amazon.com)
"Quick read. Lots of suggestions to improve reading skills. Trying then out, and they're working."
- Ben Posner (reader, Goodreads)
"I have been a student of speed reading for over 50 years. I have taken extensive training, been a teacher of it and use it every day. Michaels ebook is a very succinct yet well presented summary of the obstacles to faster reading and it provides a program that anyone can use."
- Reg Nordman ([speed]reader, Amazon.com)
