by Charles Brooks (Author), Michael Church (Author)
This is a book about psychology and coping with stress. When you cope with the stresses of everyday living, you have chosen to live, to face life and its challenges. Too many people choose not to face their problems-to stay in their comfort zone-and let life pass them by. We present a coping model based on accountability, humility, and empathy, traits that comprise honorable character. We believe that effective coping requires acting with integrity and morality according to your values. Using real-life examples, we show you how to develop an action plan for your life based on decency and honesty, a plan that will allow you to discover your honorable self, and bring you closer to realizing your potential.
