Will Power

I really enjoyed reading this book. I became aware of the relevance of Shakespeare to our present culture and how our everyday experiences could be transformed by thinking about the values that Shakespeare, very cleverly, used in his dramas. I wished Shakespeare was taught at school the way Mr. Weinberg & Mrs Rowe represent him in their book.

Revealing those human characteristics we tend to cover over.

Organized in a natural accumulation of chapters, Will Power! uses the lessons learned in Shakespeare's great works to illuminate our personal behaviors as well as the behaviors of others. In addition to illuminating, authors Dr. George Weinberg and Dianne Rowe offer tips in the form of bulleted lists on how we can better improve our behavior to acheive the results we desire--results from better communication to more aggressive control of our lives. Will Power! leaves the reader feeling enpowered and more in control of their lives. Above and beyond any other self-help book, Will Power! uses Shakespeare to help us remember what we've learned and practice what we we've been taught. Will Power! is a must for anyone who wants to better and more effectively interact with employees, friends, family, and associates
