Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 5 Habits to Lead from Your Heart, author and coach, Johnny Covey presents a powerful new way to change how we perceive experiences; how we make decisions and how we interpret events. Often we filter experiences through a lens that does not include our hearts. Harmful habits can form when we act out of fear or self-preservation (our head) instead of using our heart. But habits can be changed. Johnny illustrates how to understand better our human nature and unleash its potential; to lead from your heart, live courageously and create the life you want. So many times we are in a reactive mode, not thinking about what we are doing. Have we ever stopped and asked:What is holding me back? Why don?t I have relationships that I want? Why am I stuck in my head, worried about what others think of me? How can I free myself from ruts and routines? How might I choose to live courageously in my heart? How can I consciously create the life I am meant to live? Johnny helps us understand the genesis of our results?our mind?and our own system of checks and balances?our conscience. By combining what we currently know with Covey?s 5 Habits, we will have everything we need to elevate our thinking, take the next step?and succeed."5 Habits to Lead from Your Heart is a rare wake-up call in our search for meaning.? ~Greg Link, Co-author of Smart Trust, Co-founder CoveyLink?Another winner in the Covey tradition.? ~Doug Conant, former CEO, Campbell Soup and Chairman, Avon Products?
