    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Despite promises of “fast and easy” results from slick marketers, real personal growth is neither fast <em>nor </em>easy. The truth is that hard work, courage, and self-discipline are required to achieve meaningful results—results that are not attained by those who cling to the fantasy of achievement without effort.<br/> <em>      </em><em>Personal Development for Smart People</em> reveals the unvarnished truth about what it takes to consciously grow as a human being. As you read, you&rsquo;ll learn the seven universal principles behind all successful growth efforts (<em>truth, love, power, oneness, authority, courage,</em> and <em>intelligence</em>); as well as practical, insightful methods for improving your health, relationships, career, finances, and more. <br/> You&rsquo;ll see how to become the <strong>conscious creator</strong> of your life instead of feeling hopelessly adrift, enjoy a <strong>fulfilling career</strong> that honors your unique self-expression, attract <strong>empowering relationships</strong> with loving, compatible partners, wake up early feeling <strong>motivated, energized, </strong>and <strong>enthusiastic</strong>, achieve <strong>inspiring goals</strong> with disciplined daily habits and much more!<br/>       With its refreshingly honest yet highly motivating style, this fascinating book will help you courageously explore, creatively express, and consciously embrace your extraordinary human journey.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
