Overview

This final lesson offers inspiration for self-improvement without sounding “preachy”. Some of the suggestions presented may not appeal to your personal lifestyle. Other suggestions, you may say, are self-evident. Why waste time repeating them, you ask? You may consider that there is no benefit in knowing these principles for self improvement if you have never applied them. Think about these ideas and how some of them may be useful to you. Throughout the lesson, you will read about some special success stories. Many ordinary people just like you have overcome handicaps to reach outstanding achievements. The lesson concludes with career information related to the field of psychology.
