In every nation of the world, both developed and developing, adolescence is a unique, intriguing, and special developmental stage. Adolescents face challenges and issues such as the strong desire to be independent from the apron-strings of parents or caregivers, self-esteem, academic competencies, relationships, physiological changes in their bodies, and futuristic uncertainties. Parental lack and poverty in both hemispheres affect the navigational trajectory of this period. They often feel misunderstood, not listened to, and therefore may become resistive in their behaviors, act out, or become rebellious. Some adolescents experience a lot of turbulence and others don't. If only their brains were fully developed and not still maturing. If only they had the skills they required for the challenges they face. This book is designed to help these lovely lads think and meditate on topics that hopefully will make their experience of this second separation individuation phase of life more enriching and less chaotic.

An accessible guide to the principles of success by one of the most respected and sought-after motivational speakers of our time. In the tradition of Og Mandino and Zig Ziglar, this inspirational guide uses a wide variety of subjects, from “Achievement” to “Worry,” to bring clarity, information, and motivation to readers. For millions of readers, Bob Proctor’s name is synonymous with success. A former protégé of personal development pioneer Earl Nightingale, Proctor first built a wildly successful business career, and then an internationally successful speaking career, elaborating on the principles of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich and other classic success and prosperity texts. Proctor’s position in the business motivation community equals that of Stephen Covey or Og Mandino. But as is not the case with those masters, his books have never been available to the general public—until now! In The ABCs of Success—the first trade book ever published by this master of motivation and prosperity—Proctor goes beyond the simple laws of success and attraction, weighing in on sixty-seven different topics essential to all those who wish to make their dreams a reality, including persistence, winning, effectiveness, and vision. Organized in A-to-Z fashion and composed of brief essays that can be read over and over, The ABCs of Success is an essential resource for anyone who wants the combined wisdom of a century of success thinking in a single, accessible volume.
