I haven't read this book yet but I can't wait! It's about how to influence yourself to change bad habits. Joey and I attended their class at education week.

Success through a Positive Mental Attitude
by W. Clement Stone
(Tiffany has a copy)
My Dad paid me $100 to read this book when I was in high school. Not a real page turner. But, if you can stick with it and read through it, it really does give you good reasons why having a positive attitude in life is an important ingredient to success. I believe it! And I think it’s a truth of the gospel too. President Hinckley and Joseph Smith are great examples of always having a positive attitude. Remember when in Liberty Jail Joseph Smith writes to the saints to be cheerful!? (end of section 123)

Leadership and Self-Deception getting outside of the box
by the Arbinger Institute
(Dad has the book, and Joey has the book on CD)
Last spring we took a parenting class. Br. Dalton, our teacher and the UA Institute teacher, mentioned that the two books he rereads every year are the Book of Mormon and this book. I had to read it. I’m glad I did. It’s good food for thought, very true I think, and a great reminder that true charity is a change of heart---not just outward actions. I also think it reinforces one of my favorite scriptures by Paul, 1 Cor. 13:12 “For now we see through a glass darkly…” That’s the self deception part…

Crucial Conversations: Tools for talking when the stakes are high
by Kerry Patterson (David Lundell and Joey have copies of this)
David gave this to us at Christmas. At that time, this book was just what I needed to read! It is a great book on how to communicate in a kinder and more meaningful way. Great for marriages and family relationships but written for work. David has a great story of how this book blessed his family too.
