Story
The news media thrives on bad news. In recent years, the political climate has become vitriolic and divisive, our country seems more polarized than ever, and news feels inescapable because technology has significantly increased its reach. People who like to stay informed need a lift. Most people are aware that what they eat greatly impacts their physical health: junk food is bad, vegetables are good.

Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go.

Story
We often treat the word capacity as if it were a natural law of limitation. Unfortunately most of us are much more comfortable defining what we perceive as off limits rather than what's really possible. Could it be that many of us have failed to expand our potential because we have allowed what we perceive as capacity to define us? What if our limits are not really our limits?

Great book, author/narrator, to the point!
This is an awesome book. The author is the narrator and pleasant to listen to. He gets to the point and does it in digestible sections that make it easy to go back and review bullet points as needed. And he says it all in a couple of hours… He gets to the point!!

I wish I read this book years ago.
This book opened my eyes, taught me some techniques of the easier or the right way of approaching my success. I haven't yet put the proficiencies in action. However, just the cognition of the right direction towards my goals makes it half way reached, by saving time and an emotional wellbeing... Enjoy your life!

Great audio Book!
This was a great audio book. The reader started a little slow and monotinous but the content was great! Anyone looking to improve their personal growth and learn for one mans years of wisdom will find the audio book fullfilling and invaluble. Another title for the audio book could have been "20 years (or words) of wisdom in less than 2 hours". Enjoy!
