Letter from an enthusiastic reader

From: "Chris & Christy" To: Subject: Thank you Stan Mann Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 09:33:41 -0700 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1437 Thank you for writing the book Triggers. Thank you Thank you Thank you. This book is what I have been searching for to help motivate myself. I have read a number of other self motivating books. They have not worked for me. It is hard to get motivated to help yourself (through words of motivation by some else) if you are NOT MOTIVATED. But Triggers takes a whole new approach. It's not about motivation through motivation, it's about reprogramming the way we motivate ourselves. I am a stay at home mom with two kids. My house is always a mess, my kids are grumpy by the end of the day and losing the baby fat I gained, HA, NO TIME OR ENERGY. I needed motivation to start reclaiming myself and my family. I am not done reading Triggers as of yet, though I can't put it down, and already my life has changed. For example I tried the "Double Trigger" method to help me get motivated to clean my house. I am not kidding when I say it worked with in 30 minutes. I went from the sick feeling of having to clean my MESS of a house to completely cleaning my stove (top to bottom) and everything else that needed to be pickup, dusted, vacuumed or wiped down. Just 30 minutes after performing the "Double Trigger" method on my self. Today is September 10, 2004 and this book was published in 1987. Almost twenty years later you are still helping people through this tough process of self motivation. All I can say is, "Stan you are the Mann!" Thank you, and I can not wait to finish this book and start living the way I want to live. Sincerely, Christy Mikesell

Bottom Line on Stan Mann's Excellent Book - Triggers

If you need a major breakthrough in an important area of your life, this book is a must read. If you read it, you'll try the techniques. If you try it, you'll get results. Examples? Ok, here's just a couple:Weight Maintenance - for years I have been on the old roller coaster - gain 20 pounds, lose 20 pounds, gain 30 pounds, etc.We have a bridge group. One evening I started to reach for the peanuts - our host always has some kind of fattening goodies on the table. At the point of no return (you just can't have one handful), I remembered what I learned in Triggers. I DID NOT EAT A SINGLE PEANUT - NONE!!I've maintained my weight since that evening two years ago, under a lot of tempting situations.Peak Performance - you've probably read the books and listened to topics on how to pull up a peak performance anytime you want to. This was difficult for me.Example: OK, I was preparing a speech of introduction for a nationally-known motivational speaker. My rule - no more than 2-3 minutes, if that. I knew I could do a good job, but good was not enough for me.Once again, I used a technique from Triggers. The audience was pleased, the speaker appreciative and I was feeling great!If you are committed to continuous improvement in your personal and/or your professional life, buy Triggers today.END
