Product Description
It has often been said that life is a game-to which we can easily imagine a chorus of ardent voices echoing from every corner of the globe, "If it is, then please tell me the rules!" That's exactly what this program does.
Ms. Carter-Scott wrote these rules as a handout for a workshop she was teaching. The "rules" sparked so much interest that, unbeknownst to the author, many people made copies and distributed them to friends. Within a few years, the rules were being quoted by other lecturers. They were later published in the huge bestseller Chicken Soup for the Soul.
Now, an internationally acclaimed motivational speaker, Chérie Carter Scott brings her rules to life by applying them to anecdotes drawn from her own encounters, as well as stories from her family, close friends, and workshop participants.
Amazon.com Review
Before Cherie Carter-Scott discovered her true calling as a writer of inspirational books, she worked as a teacher. As she reads, her experience and talents as an instructor are evident. She carefully outlines her rules and lessons, frequently slowing her cadence to verbally highlight key points for her "students." Fortunately, Carter-Scott's reading is more like listening to an insightful and sometimes humorous storyteller than sitting in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring. You're likely to find yourself nodding in recognition of shared human foibles, and Carter-Scott speaks with such contagious enthusiasm that even the most resistant among us will be persuaded to do a bit of self-examination.
