“Following Calvin Helin’s very practical advice, we learn how to fill a half-full cup the rest of the way. And he guides us how to see that cup and overcome self-inflicted stuck points, whether from low self-esteem, peer pressure, or missing our very own inherent potentials. Aimed at every man and woman, he helps us to recognize that successful adapters, not the fittest, are the ones who succeed. The take-away of this book is a clearer understanding of life.” —Walter Beebe, president, New York Open Center
