Foster & Hicks have come up with a research based, clear model that has universal application to health, happiness, success, and self leadership. I have personally benefitted from working with the 9 choices and as an Executive Coach and Organization Development consultant have had success using this model with my clients. I am grateful for the positive, life changing, results I've had.

The confluence between happiness and health is upon reflection a "duh." But the actual details are not always quite so obvious. This book spells them out, in 9 simple practices. As a practicing psychologist I find that they ring true. I have recommended it to a number of my patients and the impact on their lives has been profound.
an interesting read.

Rick and Greg have done it again. It seems so simple when you read it..... but the fact is that we tend to ignore the obvious. What is brilliant is that anyone can embrace the recommendations in this book and live a life that feels wonderful. And who wouldn't want a wonderful life!? The stories are inspiring and I especially loved the sections on giving and appreciation and life after 100 years. The most important message is that we all have behavioral choices and with a little dose of intention.... the results can be just what you might be looking for! Good reading......
