yet every goal has a price. Being the first up the mountain has
its moment of glory, but then the only way forward is down. Goal-driven
people can be narrow-minded as well as single-minded: they tend
to be restless, fidgety people who can be very difficult to be
around. They may achieve their goal and only then discover the
high price they have paid to get there."

Beyond Positive
Thinking: How to make life decisions you can live with is
based on Phil Chandler's experiences during seven years spent
running courses for people with disabilities and depression.
During that time, hundreds of people found new ways to deal
with their life challenges, many finding employment again after
long periods out of work.
This book takes a sympathetic and holistic approach
to personal growth. It is designed to help you shift the direction
of your thinking towards what you really want to have, to be and
to do, and to make better decisions based on your true values.
