Format:Paperback
I have read many self-help books but none of them ever quite matched up to this one. Shad Helmstetter explains how every tiny choice you make contributes to your overall success. He presents you with lists that enable you to consider many aspects of your own behaviour and ask yourself if the behaviour is favourable to yourself. I would never have thought of all the items in his lists. I would never have considered all the subconscious choices that I was making or that I could choose to change them. I filled in the pages at the back of the book with my choices for living my life, having considered each question very carefully. I started working harder, setting goals and looking for opportunities to improve all the time. I was aware of how the book had helped me work harder and make better choices. I became more motivated. When I find myself sliding backwards this is the book I turn to. I'm reading it again now because I need a whole new set of choices now that I am older. I'll be filling in the choices section for myself again. I found this book helped me and I hope it helps you too, if you choose to buy it.

Choosing to CHOOSE
21 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
Someone gave me this book. I didn't read it until one day, months later, when I was going through a closet, preparing to move to a place where I wasn't sure I wanted to live, and I came across the book. I sat down amidst the boxes, brushed the dust off the book with my shirtsleeve, and started reading.
It was an epiphany. It opened my eyes to the fact that I could CHOOSE TO CHOOSE. As a writer, I could live wherever there was Internet access and a post office. I had always wanted to live in the eastern U.S., and there I'd been, about to move from the Midwest to the West Coast. WHY? The book made me aware, as I'd never been before, of the life I could live, if I simply CHOSE.
I sit writing this, now, in a big, beautiful old Victorian house---MY house!---in a charming little Upstate NY village. Family members who moved west when I moved here, soon decided they liked it better here, and have settled near me. All because of that book! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who wants to free up your life, to get rid of the limitations of habit and lazy thinking, and to become what you always suspected you could be, just by choosing to choose.

A Winner!
8 Jun 2003
Format:Paperback
Readers are encouraged to create a pattern of success and give themselves rewards along the way. In so doing, a person learns to enjoy the process of achievement.
As the title indicates, a lot is said about the choices one makes on the journey of success. Helmstetter makes the point that all choices, regardless of how small they seem to be affect us in some way. The consequence is the individual is the summation of those choices.

This book could change your life.
2 Feb 1999
Format:Paperback
Few books can have the impact of actually changing your life. This simple book is amazingly effective in giving you the ability to move your life in the direction you want to go. I can't belive it's out of print.
