Success Sandbox: A Development Journal of Success & Happiness

Some of us may be lucky enough to be born with the traits that contribute to a successful, happy attitude, or into an environment that cultivates them. The rest of us may have to work, study and practice to get there! If you happen to be one of the “rest,” you know you need all the brain food you can get to keep yourself fired up and focused.

Looking for some fresh ideas and inspiration? Feeling stuck or indecisive? Success Sandbox is an all-you-can-eat buffet of ideas on motivation, success, happiness, and creativity that explores many of the challenges we all seem to face on the road to a rewarding and purposeful life. And it serves up solutions in an entertaining and insightful way.

Let the authors do the heavy lifting; you may save some time or headaches by seeing how they’ve dealt with the challenges you face on your own path. You may get a chuckle out of the ways the authors have found themselves stuck, and – usually – dug themselves out from the rubble!

If success is achieved by standing on the shoulders of giants, the authors definitely do some shoulder standing of their own as they explore theories and ideas about success and happiness from figures ranging from historic thinkers like Lao Tzu and Carl Jung, to contemporary movers and shakers like Ray Kroc and Zig Ziglar, and more recent self-improvement gurus like Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Mihaly Csikszentmihaly, and Jim Collins.

The essays in this book, on topics ranging from success and motivation to happiness, business planning, humility, and creativity, are sure to inspire you, or, at the very least, provide a springboard to help you jump into action yourself. You don’t need to read this book from front to back. Flip open to any page and you'll likely be rewarded with a thought-provoking nugget that puts you in a new frame of mind and kicks you back into action!
