Chicken Soup For The Soul: Maverick With A Mission

The perfect self-help book for people who would never buy a self-help book — from the woman who admits she would be a terrible shrink! Recovering cynic Amy Newmark was a crusader for truth on Wall Street, exposing companies that were defrauding investors, but the main emotions she wrote about were fear and greed. Now, as author and editor-in-chief of Chicken Soup for the Soul, she covers the whole range of human emotions and finds herself a much more positive and productive person. Amys journey from Wall Street to Main Street has changed her in ways she never anticipated. Still a maverick, with a dry wit and a penchant for self-deprecating stories about herself and her family, she combines the matter-of-fact approach of a financial analyst with the insights she has gained from tens of thousands of Chicken Soup for the Soul stories. A keen observer on parenting, love and marriage, positive thinking, and work/life balance, she shares her wisdom, her humor, and her advice in this book, filled with real-life stories and no-nonsense, practical tips that readers can actually implement to improve their own lives. You will learn: How to put things in perspective by realizing that youre not alone so that you can move forward How to run your life like a successful business looking at things objectively so you can make better choices  How to say no to whats not important, so that you can say yes to what really matters That things dont have to be perfect, allowing you to accomplish more and enjoy the process How to not take things personally and not get weighed down by someone elses issues whether its a grumpy stranger or your teenager That you already have all the tools you to need to improve your life and how to use them How to be your best self by listening to your gut and standing up for what you believe—Amys motto in business has always been dont do anything you wouldnt want in a letter to shareholders or written up in the press!
