Out of all of the adults that make resolutions each New Year, a
study found that 88% will fail by the end of the year,while
50% fail after just one month! Those are daunting odds for anyone
hoping to stick to a resolution this year.
Over a decade ago, Dan Britton and Jimmy Page discovered a better way to
start the New Year and the solution to failed resolutions and unrealized
goals. It’s simple –and all it requires is just One Word.
Now Britton and Page, with Jon Gordon bestselling author of The
Energy Bus, explain how anyone can simplify their life and business
by focusing on just ONE WORD for the entire year in their new book, One
Word That Will Change your Life (Wiley; December 2012;
Hardcover & ebook; $16.95; ISBN: 978-1-118-54241-5).
No goals. No resolutions. Just one word.
“Other resolution solutions are good and well-intentioned, unfortunately
they build on a flawed foundation of more effort, willpower, and
goal-setting,” says Britton. “They tell us to set ‘do’ goals instead of
‘be’ goals. Instead of being weighed down with unrealistic resolutions
and unmet goals, One Word provided a whole new perspective on how we
approach our year. It freed us up. One Word gave us renewed purpose and
meaning.”
One Word that will Change Your Life inspires clarity, power,
passion and life-change in readers. Through personal anecdotes, examples
and advice the authors explain that there is a word meant for everyone.
When each person finds their word, they are encouraged to live it and
share it and soon they will find that their lives have become more
rewarding and exciting than ever.
“Words are powerful. They have the power to inspire,
encourage, appreciate, heal, and turn the impossible into the possible.
Throughout history, words have transformed societies, people, and
relationships,” adds Page. “After nearly 15 years of doing this
ourselves and taking others through the One Word process as part of our
workshops, we’ve found that when you discover your word for the year, it
will change the way you think, the words you speak, the attitudes of
your heart, your relationships, and even your actions.”
The book includes tips to help readers discover their One Word and
examples of individuals, companies and teams that have successfully
applied the One Word concept in their lives. Readers will learn how to:
-
Develop simplicity in their world
-
Have focus and purpose in their business and in life
-
Have clarity and passion
-
Experience dramatic life changes and success
-
Develop a discipline for life
“Since Dan and Jimmy shared their One Word concept with me, I’ve in turn
shared the process with countless audiences, companies, schools, and
even NFL teams,” adds Gordon. “The feedback has been incredible. And I
know first-hand the power One Word can have on the lives of all who
discover, live, and share their word.”
