Product Description
Mastering the Seven Decisions guides readers to a profound understanding of how to fully integrate seven life-changing Decisions into their daily lives.

- The Guided Decision: I will seek wisdom.
- The Active Decision: I am a human being of action.
- The Certain Decision: I have a decided heart. Criticism, condemnation, and complaint have no power over me.
- The Joyful Decision: Today I will choose to be happy.
- The Compassionate Decision: I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit.
- The Persistent Decision: I will persist without exception.
Reader Reviews
Andy Andrews not only has been successful in changing the attitudes and approaches to happy and successful lives in a large throng of followers, he continues to offer refresher courses in his philosophy that are solid, well constructed aids to gently polish the doctrines of his original Seven Decisions. This reader received a smart package from the publisher that not only contained the hardback 2002 book THE TRAVELER'S BOOK in a deluxe format, but the well designed box contained an advance copy of the latest addition to the Andrews library - MASTERING THE SEVEN DECISIONS THAT DETERMINE PERSONAL SUCCESS, a pocket calendar with the 'decisions reminders', and even a mouse pad with the seven decisions printed on a high quality pad, a daily reminder for the desktop of the important steps toward a happy life. MASTERING THE SEVEN DECISIONS is a refresher course, one designed to repeat the information from the original book while fortifying that information with letters from established 'successes' who share their enthusiasm for Andrews' postulates. He gives stories, examples and revisions of the wording of his first book and while there is nothing particularly profound here, there is a lot of useful information that helps extend the reader's ability to incorporate Andrews' ideas. One way in which Andrews freshens his approach is to 'rename' the seven decisions. In this book they become the following: The Responsible Decision, The Guided Decision, The Active Decision, The Certain Decision, The Joyful Decision, The Compassionate Decision, and The Persistent Decision. The concepts remain the same, and yes, for this reader, it does help to read THE TRAVELER'S GIFT first, but as with all refresher courses, this book retains the information presented in the first book and merely guides the reader more specifically in how to apply the information to the individual. He adds his opinions, such as 'A true friend holds you to a higher standard - he or she expects you to do what you said you were going to do, when you said you were going to do it. A true friend makes you better by his or her presence.' And he offers pauses for exercises, such as the section on The Deathbed Exercise, an exercise in imagining a eulogy that 'will help you clarify what you want your life's accomplishments to be and help you build momentum to achieve it'. Andrews knows his material, understands how to communicate his thoughts and ideals, and, as in his first book, he relates this information in such a user friendly manner that reading the book is a growing experience for even the most doubting reader. Take charge of your life is a recurring theme and he says it well as in the following: 'There are generations yet unborn who depend upon the choices you make, because everything you do matters - not just for you, not just for your family, not just for your hometown - everything you do matters to all of us - forever.' There are many people who make snide remarks about books of this type: the comments sections of reviews of these books overflow with negativisms. But if each of us works toward making our lives happy and successful, who will have the last laugh?! Grady Harp, February 08
