How to Make a Habit of Succeeding

by Mack R. Douglas

With more than 1,000,000 copies in print, "How to Make a Habit of Succeeding" sits among the canon of motivational books. Renowned motivational speaker and executive Mack R. Douglas presents his readers with the task of learning the power of purpose and cultivating that purpose into lasting success in all endeavors. It begins as a realization that there is something more to life than what you've already experienced. Once that purpose is recognized, you must use it as a motivating factor to fulfilling goals, tapping into creativity, and whipping worry, all culminating in the appearance of an unquenchable desire to succeed.

What Douglas teaches in this book has been used by hundreds of thousands already to make their lives more productive and successful. It crosses all distinctions or professions and outlooks. This is a textbook for the home study of self-progress. Complete with exercises for each chapter, it is a clear, definitive methodology in inspiring people to make a successful attitude a constant part of their lives. It analyzes how certain behavioral patterns impede the process of success and why changes in how we think and act will lead us all to untold benefits of achieving our purpose.

"How to Make a Habit of Succeeding" is the first of many books by Dr. Mack R. Douglas, including the recently released "How to Win with High Self-Esteem." It has been translated into eight different languages for cultures all over the world. It continues to serve as a basis for many of the professional development programs Douglas holds as president of Discovery Seminars International.

I would say that this book changed my life. The chapter on having a purpose in life was way ahead of its time. It made me realize that I in order to succeed in life, I had to choose a purpose, and it had to be worthwhile.

By the time The Purpose Driven Life came along, I was already achieving my purpose in life.

A motivation book. I try to like the book however, it takes me sometime to finish reading it because a lot of things described are areas that was practiced when you are employed in big organization. This book is suitable for those entering job market and seeking sustainability in whatever career there are in.

Found this book in my basement while spring cleaning. To think that it has been packed in a box in my basement for the last 30+ years.
