In the Forward to "How to Make Great Things Happen in YOUR LIFE," we find this powerful advice:  "Life is not what happens to you, life is what you make of the stuff that happens to you: life is what you think about the stuff that happens to you and what actions you take as a result of your thinking."This profound idea is the introduction to a powerful approach to happiness and achievement, with a roadmap for putting into practice the idea that human events do not guide us to great success or ruin, it is WHAT WE THINK ABOUT THESE EVENTS.  As Shakespeare wrote, ". . . for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."What is unique and wonderful about this book is that, although Fred Schäfer is a real expert on what it takes to succeed and thrive in this life, he relates his expertise in a down-to-earth and common-sense style, without any sense that he is ever talking down to the reader.  He compassionately relates his advice, making it clear that he has been through failures like everyone else.  It is the attitude that counts, and Fred Schäfer makes it utterly clear how to create, foster and maintain such an attitude to be successful and happy and full of energy to take on any task.  I highly recommend this book, if you want to improve your life.
