The Ultimate Self-Discipline Library
Summary
Jim Whitaker, the first American to climb Mt. Everest, once said: “You can never conquer the mountain. You can only conquer yourself.” Yet, when the vast majority of people encounter obstacles to their goals, or difficulties on the journey of life, they tend to put their focus on the mountain - things that they cannot control, things outside of themselves - rather than turning inward, taking responsibility and conquering the self. That process of conquering the self is another name for that priceless quality of personality we call self-discipline. And, in this priceless collection of great ideas in sound from the world leader in personal development, Nightingale-Conant, you will be provided with all of the essential tools of self-discipline to conquer the self in every major arena of life. Welcome to The Ultimate Self-Discipline Library: How to Eliminate Excuses and Take Charge of Your Life! In this 10-volume library, you will hear some of the best ideas on self-discipline published by Nightingale-Conant over the past 50 years. You’ll learn: how to build self-disciplined habits, how to develop beliefs that support a self-disciplined life, how to be disciplined in several areas of your life like your goal achievement, time management, financial success, career success, and health and wellness. And you’ll learn how discipline can even help you savor the fruits of your labor - such as a lifestyle of simplicity and happiness. Best of all, you’ll discover that developing self-discipline need not be a laborious, tedious, and long process. Rather you’ll find that self-discipline can be an exciting adventure where you steer your life in the direction you want to go. And remember what William Feather once said: “If we don’t discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us.” Make the decision today to be the person who chooses to eliminate excuses and take charge of your life - so you can steer it to your own pre-determined destination. Throughout this 10-volume library, you’ll be treated to the wisdom of 19 different Nightingale-Conant authors: Brian Tracy, Kerry Johnson, Denis Waitley, Jim Rohn, Larry Winget, Dr. Nick Hall, John Powers, Peter McLaughlin, Jim Loehr, Richard Koch, Rick Ott, David Allen, Dan Sullivan, Lou Tice, Dr. Eric Plasker, John Cummuta, Thomas Schweich, and of course, a final inspirational word from our company’s co-founder, the late Earl Nightingale.

The Politically Incorrect Success System
Summary
The cancer of "political correctness" has not only helped to form a society of insincere, oversensitive, and underachieving people - it has deprived individuals of the joy of living authentically and boldly, the life the late Henry David Thoreau called people to live when he implored us to move "confidently in the direction of our own dreams". Well, living authentically and boldly has never been a problem for Larry Winget. Known as the Pitbull of Personal Development®, Larry is not afraid to tell it like it is about what it takes to be successful. And he's also not afraid of skewering some of those well-known shibboleths of personal development - like the law of attraction and the path of "effortless success" that are peddled by so many motivational speakers. In this program Larry will take on the political correctness that has infected our society and the personal development industry. And he'll outline an effective "back to the basics" approach to help you be more successful. Larry still believes that hard work and excellence are the keys to success and communicates that like no other person on the planet can! Larry makes you think. He makes you uncomfortable. He offers common-sense solutions that are impossible to argue with. On top of all that, he is hilarious. Here's just a few things you'll learn in this unforgettable program: Why being politically correct will leave you unhappy, uninspired, and unsure about your future. Why it takes a contrarian approach to be successful and true to yourself in this upside-down politically correct world. Why you need to fix yourself first rather than putting your focus on how to fix others or society. Why letting go of your need for approval is essential to happiness. How to get to the point and ask for what you want in life - directly and decisively. How to make big, bold, and brash plans for your life.

Your Kids Are Your Own Fault
Summary
Straight-talking, best-selling Pitbull of Parenting Larry Winget says "This is not a fix your kid book. It's a fix the way you parent book. You owe it to your kids to parent with a plan!" Being a parent is the toughest job in the world, especially with the increasing number of negative influences and pitfalls facing our kids today, from childhood obesity and out-of-control celebrity culture to the dangers of the internet and credit card debt. Larry Winget has never been one to shy away from tough truths, and what he says here may well be difficult for some parents to swallow: we are in the midst of a crisis with our kids. Kids today are over-indulged, over-entertained, under-achieving, and under-disciplined, with a sense of entitlement that is crippling society. And the real problem is that parents aren't paying attention to what's going on. If they were they would realize that most kids today barely read and write, except with their thumbs on their cell phones! Well-behaved, respectful kids are the exception, not the rule, and for the most part, parents are to blame. Responsible parenting is about beginning with the end in mind and parenting with a plan. But most parents have never stopped to consider what kind of adult they want to raise. They have all this fun creating a baby, but they don't have a plan for the end product. Larry's message to parents: Teach your kids to become the best adults they can be. But don't expect your kids to improve until you improve. Your Kids Are Your Own Fault covers familiar lessons and principles that have led Larry's readers to greater success with money, career, and goal setting, this time at a level where they can be taught to children. This book shows parents how to design the adult they want their kid to become and work backwards to make sure it happens. Kids don't come with an instruction manual, but finally being a parent does!
