Book description
The Way of the Dog
is a self-help classic. It tells the story of failed salesman, Derek
Stubbins, who wanders into a brothers Grimm nightmare and gets turned
into a dog. He has to learn the way of the dog to get by. He has to
develop the simple, clear way of thinking that a sheepdog has for its
task. In doing so, he finds that he can achieve any goal he desires. It
is the perfect pathway to success.
Why a dog? A dog has only two
states of thought, which are happy, and waiting to be happy. When it
has a task to do, it sees the beginning and the end. It doesn't become
anxious or depressed at the size of the job, but just undertakes it
and deals with obstacles as they come. It always succeeds.
Geoff
Burch taps into the core of great personal development writing in
The Way of the Dog. He focuses on the two big questions -
what do you want to do with your life and how do you do it? By
following the way of the dog, each obstacle in your path is dealt with
unfailingly, one at a time. And if you don't know where you're going
or what you need to make you happy, the sheepdog will show you how to
recognise a sheep and not to waste time with goats.
The Way of the Dog offers timeless, accessible,
fast-paced, funny and memorable advice. Inspiring lifestyle wisdom is
brought out through simple storytelling.
Plan your course through life and overcome every obstacle in your
path by adopting
The Way of the Dog's route map to success. Unlike the
instructions in flat-pack furniture, anyone can understand it, it is
easy to do, and the outcome will not be a surprise or a
disappointment.
The Way of the Dog contains the secrets of success.
