Dedicated to helping readers move towards their goals, this motivational guide shows how to ask direct questions to uncover strengths and draw upon past successes. The book describes the process of change as a journey that begins in the "Land of WishandWant." This is where we live until we are pushed, pulled or prodded by pain to move beyond our comfort zone. Initially hoping our problems will go away, we eventually decide to answer the "call to action" and often seek experts to tell us what to do. A more direct approach is to discover our own path for how to proceed. We can do this by asking ourselves questions that help us uncover our strengths, draw upon past success, and choose a doable goal toward which we can move. Eventually we have the answers we need to pass through a "gate to change" that leads to the "Land of WillDo." Clear and insightful, these questions and exercises pave the path for selfimprovement.
