This is a really good book. It was entertaining to read while also educational. The first edition came out in 1996 I think, and this edition just came out earlier this month. The new edition has two new chapters, 5 and 8, which were added because readers thought the information they contain was missing from the first edition. The book is split into two parts. The first part covers 10 ways you ...             The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women: A Portable Mentor70 reviews Gail McMeekin Red Wheel/Weiser, 2000 Incredible!

Thinking is common sense. Thinking is hard wired into humans. If all this is true, more people would put common sense into common action. It's not the case, though is it?.

After enlightenment, chop wood carry water.* I read the book's title as meaning "You're successful, are you ready for that?" rather than "Do you want to succeed?" emphasizing the word "ready".
