Synopsis

"[One of] the Seven Essential Popular Business Books," that's how Today's Librarian magazine describes Barry Maher's "Filling the Glass: The Skeptic's Guide to Positive Thinking in Business." Barry Maher has helped thousands of the world's top organizations with his enormously successful sales strategies. ("Make your biggest liabilities your strongest assets!") Now Maher takes these same techniques and shows non-salespeople how to achieve success and satisfaction in business, and in life. If you can't justify to yourself what you are doing with your life, if you aren't working toward goals in which you honestly believe, then you will never be, by your own standards, successful. "Filling the Glass" provides you with 10 strategies to turn around your career and your life, so that you never have to settle for half full or half empty again. "One of the few must-read books of the year. Packed with useful, practical advice, it's also entertaining and frequently laugh-out-loud funny," writes Jerry Colangelo, former owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Suns.
