The Path to Personal PowerA Guide to Self-Mastery

Do you want someone else to be the master of your life? Do you already have plenty of freedom and personal power? Are you just fine with your current level of suffering? Are you happy going through life like a poorly programmed robot? Are you happy serving the agendas of others?

I didn’t think so. And, yet, without thinking about these questions, you may unwittingly be living out the answer yes to them. By observing the general population, I suspect that not many have asked themselves these questions. Perhaps you are one of the few...

Have you ever wondered why there are so few masters and so many students, and why so few students become masters? This book shows you what it takes to go all the way.

Without pulling any punches The Path of Personal Power shows you what attitude is required to walk the path and do the work. Would you like a no-nonsense guide to waking up (shhhh… enlightenment)?

My late mentor and teacher, Dr. Christopher Hyatt, and I shared a personal maxim, which this book helps you put into action:

Many people have an inner inkling that they were destined for more yet stop well short of achieving it. They fall prey to the "shoulds" of others and the artificial labels of the polite social majority. This book will jolt you awake so you can avoid these pitfalls and develop the rare quality of being truly self-defining.

The Path synthesizes psychology, philosophy and aspects of Zen to show you how you unknowingly trip yourself up and how to get out of your own way.

The Path provides a balanced approach to mastery, from personal power and working well with others to overcoming your psychological potholes and waking up spiritually.

You will be repeatedly forced to face your human nature. Instead of sheepishly apologizing for it, you will develop the awareness and skills to overcome your human flaws and not be duped by those trying to exploit them. You will become familiar with your neurological development and re-decide some key conclusions you made about yourself and the world you live in, thus increasing your individual freedom and power. Why be a mis-programmed and scared robot when you can become something worthwhile? You will learn to practice radical acceptance so, instead of fighting against what has happened in the past, you can stop blaming yourself and get on with your life.

The Path is full of methods for measuring progress and dealing with the difficulties that overcome many who tread the path of personal mastery. You will learn how to be a good student and to take responsibility for your own progress. You will explore how to work effectively with (not for) others in your life, from your family and significant others to mentors and society-at-large, without being taken advantage of.

The Path contains the whats, whys and hows that will allow you to achieve escape velocity and break free from the gravitational pull of the average.
