This action-packed field guide, putting Newton's Laws to work - making personal breakthroughs - will

'Strategic Acceleration: Succeed at the Speed of Life', by Tony Jeary Having the title of 'Strategic Acceleration' in a book certainly catches one's eyeballs, especially in today's era of information anxiety. In my case, I was really intrigued as I could co-relate it immediately to Newton's Laws, which brought me back to my secondary school days when I had to grappled with my Physics lessons. Today, Newton's Laws with their virtually unlimited applications are an essential part of our daily lives, physically as well as emotionally. As a matter of fact, Newton was right: "Objects at rest tend to remain at rest". In short , we must always get started, in order to make our lives better. Once we do, then the other part of Newton's Laws - "Objects in motion tend to remain in motion" - begin to work for us. In a nut shell, as I see, Newton's Laws boil down to understanding inertia, momentum or acceleration, & forces of change. Once we break down the bonds of negative thought patterns, & habitual routines along with destructive self-limiting beliefs, we can move forward, gaining forward momentum, so to speak. Forward momentum is the creation of congruency & synergy between our personal & professional lives, in the pursuit of our fondest dreams. So, the great news for all of us is that life coach & strategist Tony Jeary, the brilliant author [he has been described as a "gifted encourager" who facilitates positive outcomes for others in his role as a strategic collaborator] of 'Strategic Acceleration' has distilled his more than twenty years of studying distinctions that characterise top-performing high-achievers into a proven methodology to help us achieve what we want, when we want it. More importantly, to help us create personal breakthroughs. In driving our forward momentum, the author's methodology is systematically anchored on three critical personal change initiatives, as a tripod, which in totality captures the essence of 'Strategic Acceleration': 1) Clarity: you must be clear about your vision & what you really want; 2) Focus: you must pay attention to high leverage activities that you move you forward; 3) Execution: you must execute by elevating your ability to persuade & influence others; The entire book describes the three change initiatives in elaborate detail, via eight superbly written chapters: Chapter 1: The Speed of Life & What You Believe; Chapter 2: The Pulling Power of clarity - Vision; Chapter 3: Understanding the Why Produces Clarity; Chapter 4: Focus is the Opposite of Distraction; Chapter 5: Finding Focus & Producing Real Results; Chapter 6: Persuasion Matters; Chapter 7: Production Before Perfection; Chapter 8: The Persuasive Influence of Strategic Response; What really stands out when compared with other personal development books are the carefully crafted hands-on exercises, over 60 pages, to help you create your clarity, focus & execution blueprints. These are worth the price of the
