Follow the Yellow Brick Road: HOW TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU ITS WORST

by Sam Alibrando

Follow the Yellow Brick Road is for people who want to change and grow. And the most powerful way to learn new habits and truly change is through experience. Dorothy did not develop Scarecrow-knowing, Tin Man-heart and Lion-courage from a book. It was not from a lecture that Dorothy discovered her wizard was a fraud and that if she faced her scary witch, the witch would melt. She learned these vital life lessons along the Yellow Brick Road.Follow the Yellow Brick Road is especially for people who have ever had a twister pick up their life and drop them into a strange and uncharted land. If you are having trouble managing at work, going through a break-up, are caught in an addiction, have lost a loved one, or are in a challenging relationship, then you are in the Land of Oz and need to do as Glinda Follow the Yellow Brick Road."Follow the Yellow Brick Road is a wonderful metaphor for understanding our lives and our relationships. I would recommend it to anyone as a tool for personal or corporate growth." -Dan Maltby, Ph.D., Director of the Organizational Leadership Program, Biola UniversitySee what others are saying inside!

In his book, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," Dr. Alibrando uses the characters, scenes and settings from the Wizard of Oz to educate the reader how to “turn adversity into positive change and growth.” Since almost everyone has seen and/or read the Wizard of Oz, the reader can easily understand and relate to the message that Dr. Alibrando is trying to convey. Moreover, by connecting his message to the Wizard of Oz, the reader is more likely to retain the information because people remember stories. In addition to conveying such useful information in such a creative manner, while reading the book, I realized that his chart “on how to select a therapist” was equally applicable to selecting an attorney. It just so happens that I will be giving a presentation on finding the right fit lawyer two months from now and I plan on incorporating that information into my lecture. If you want to “turn adversity into positive change and growth," I highly recommend that you read "Follow the Yellow Brick Road."
