Showing results for "Character Building" in Career Success

Closing with Character is not a sales book. It is a book about what happens inside people when decisions are made under pressure. In high-stakes conversations, sales, leadership, negotiations, consulting, or influence, pressure is often mistaken for effectiveness. Scripts are sharpened. Objections are anticipated. Language is engineered to move people forward. And yet, many of those “successful” closes leave something behind: discomfort, regret, resistance, or mistrust. This book challenges that model.

Unconsciously, we are forming habits every moment of our lives. Some are habits of a desirable nature; some are those of a most undesirable nature. Some, though not so bad in themselves, are exceedingly bad in their cumulative effects, and cause us at times much loss, much pain and anguish. In contrast, the opposites of these habits would bring us much peace and joy, as well as a continually increasing power.

A landmark in the New Thought movement that spawned much of the 20th century's self-help writing, this 1899 classic inspires us to create the healthy habits we need to develop the effective character we want.
