A Handbook to Inspire Just imagine what would happen to the economy, to crime figures and so on, if we all felt good about ourselves most of the time. The central philosophy behind this book is to grow the individual person: individual growth. Because if we can satisfy the need for people: . to understand themselves . to recognise their strengths and weaknesses . to see a value to self-improvement .. then their capacity for self-development should increase along with their feeling of self-worth. Central to the philosophy of individual growth is the belief that we all have an unending potential to be better (or to improve ourselves). This book is a collection of ideas, strategies, stories, suggestions and quotes that are designed to make you think about your life and the way you lead it.
