One of the hallmark's of Brian Tracy's philosophy is that you are 100% responsible for the results in your life. While Brian Tracy has discussed this philosophy since the 1980's, it is increasingly out of place in our current cultural moment. Today there are numerous voices telling you that any of your struggles or challenges are due to other people or societal conditions that are beyond your control. But, as you'll hear in this life-changing book, the philosophy of complaint and "blaming others" is ultimately a dead-end path that leads to despair. In Take Charge of Your Life: The 12 Master Skills for Success, Brian will show you how putting yourself in the driver's seat of your own life, and not delegating responsibility for your results to others, will separate you from the pack faster than ever before. Brian will teach you the attitudes, mindset, and most importantly, the specific skills that will enable you to overcome any forces that others perceive may hold them back---whether it be your education level, current income level, gender, or socio-economic background.

Here are just a few of the things you will learn:

• Maximum Performance. When you're firing on all cylinders, nothing can stop you—so why waste any more time at half speed? Get more out of yourself and generate better results than ever before.
