About this title

From the Back Cover

What is a Self-help Addict? 
Like so many others, I have read tons of self-help books, listened to hours and hours of audio-books and attended countless seminars. Ultimately, however, I was just reading one book after the other without making any significant changes in my life.

I see this pattern happening to so many others. I believe there is a new-age addiction. Many people suffer from this addiction without even realizing they are addicted.

This addiction is so powerful that you persuade yourself that it is good for you. Each and every self-help book is going to "change your life." Every diet program is going to be the last one. The one that you will stick to and finally get you to your goal weight.
"This business seminar is worth every penny because I am going to learn how to become rich from it." 

This addiction plagues our generation because we live in a world where things have become so easy. We don't need to work to build a fire for warmth or light.

We can have things at the touch of a button. This has created a quick-fix mentality whereby we think that someone is going to tell us how to lose weight or make millions in weeks -- and we believe them. Then when it doesn't happen, we tell ourselves that we just need to read another book, listen to another audio, or go to another exciting seminar.

We are fooling ourselves.

We have become Self-help Addicts. 

Self-help addiction is a never-ending cycle of highs and lows created by hype, hope, and laziness.

From the Inside Flap

"Checkmate, dad." 

With a twinkle in his eye and a smile from ear to ear my eight-year-old son, Elisha declared that he had finally beaten me in chess. This was one of those proud moments a father feels when his son has outdone him.

As a little boy, all I wanted was to make my father proud. That little boy seems to have been residing within me all these years and deep down inside his desire to 'prove himself' has driven me all my life.

At the age of 33, I feel as if the desire to make my son proud is of equal importance if not greater.

Today I told my first born son that for his tenth birthday, his daddy is going to publish a book.
"What kind of book?" He asked excitedly. "Will there be dragons in it?" 

I chuckled because, in a way, there are dragons in this book. These dragons are the fiery obstacles known as fear, and its accomplices doubt and indecision that keep us from becoming the best we can be.
