BOOK: The Power of Decision by Raymond Charles Barker
Our decisions impact every area of our lives. Making better decisions means living a better life. But how can we develop the habit of making great decisions? In this class, based on the groundbreaking book by Raymond Charles Barker, we will learn how to overcome indecision and specific steps to shift the balance of decision-making power in our favor. Indecisive people are failure prone, and Dr. Barker examines this basic truth while exploring the decision-making process in the individual, and the role of the subconscious mind in either abetting or thwarting each of our conscious decisions. He provides specific steps to shift the balance of decision-making power in your favor, and he brings to light the constant, ever-present power of will to change a situation - and yourself for the better.
