“Challenges make life worthwhile and valuable, the necessary struggle for high ideals to make your life exceptional.”

If you want to be in charge of your life and really make the most of the years ahead, Take Charge of Your Life is full of well-proven successful advice, wisdom from personal experiences, and a dash of home-grown humour.

Some people have an incredible zest for life and an appetite for living well and doing well—others have a ho-hum attitude and just slide through the daily motions. Take Charge of Your Life removes the ho-hums and infuses you with the desire to accept life’s challenges to bring value and stability to the lifestyle of your choosing.

Author Jim Rohn devoted his life to the study of human behaviour and personal motivation, which produced his unique philosophy style and solid common sense. You will learn the success secrets of an effective communicator and wealthy businessman, as well as the leadership skills needed to get ahead in whatever you set your mind to achieve in life.

Thought-provoking chapter themes include:

  • Five Puzzle Pieces of Life
  • The Human Touch of Words
  • The Art of Persuasion
  • Unlocking Influence, Wealth, and Power
  • Be Somebody
  • Leaders Take Charge

There’s power in the touch of sincere and passionate human words—Take Charge of Your Life takes you to a new level of self-awareness, presents necessary disciplines, and prepares the seedbed of great success in every aspect of your life.

For more than 40 years, Jim Rohn helped people worldwide sculpt life strategies that expanded their possibilities and opportunities. Rohn’s style and common sense labelled him as one of the most influential thinkers of our time—thought of by many as a national treasure. He authored numerous books and audio and video programmes, motivating and shaping generations of personal-development trainers and hundreds of executives from America’s top corporations.
