Recenzje

'What if successful people define themselves as verbs, not as nouns? 　As doers, not as objects?　 Amanda Brouwer skillfully illuminates how to　use this technique to become a healthier eater, as well as an effective "doer" more generally.' —Kennon M. Sheldon, Curators’ Distinguished Professor of Psychological Sciences, University of Missouri, USA
