We all experience setbacks and heartbreak in our lives. Yet these difficulties and trials are opportunities to stop and take personal inventory, as well as a time for change and imaginative thinking: we learn more through adversity than we do through success. In this book, Thomas S. Caldwell highlights the key factors driving failure - and success. He shows us that by polishing the traits and honing the skills we already possess, and combining them with organization, discipline and character, we can succeed in life, no matter where in the journey we are.
