description: The contents of this book are directed at a large and inclusive audience. They include working men and women, the married and single, the young and the old, both professional and front-line employees and people from diverse backgrounds. Although many of the chapters deal with work-related situations, much of the information can be applied to non-work environments. Also, both parents and teachers alike can use this book as a "practical life-skills manual" for educating and guiding the lives they touch. You will quite possibly read something in this book and say, "I know that!" My challenge to you is, take that rediscovered bit of truth and find a way to apply its message so you can use that "Personal Knowledge to Shape Your Future". The simple act of reading and then applying what you have learned, can contribute greatly to your personal happiness and success. There are several approaches you can use when reading this book. The book is not a story or sequential checklist that must be followed exactly as laid out. No one chapter is anymore important than another because every person who reads this book will find some information or a combination of information more important to them than others. You can start in the traditional manner and read the book from cover to cover. You can start this book at any chapter, as each chapter stands alone as a crisp, clear expression of an idea, tip, or concept. You can also use the Unique Table of Contents (it follows this introduction, I told you this book is different) as a fun place to start. The titles of each of the chapters are posed as questions. Using the "Unique Table of Contents" as a quiz, you can identify your level of agreement or disagreement with the questions presented. Those questions you answer with the highest level of disagreement could be an interesting place to start your search for "Personal Knowledge to Shape Your Future". They are most likely the subjects that you are currently dealing with, take issue with, or spark your highest level of interest, at least for the moment. This book can also be used as a quick reference guide. If your feeling stressed, do a quick read of the chapter pertaining to stress. If planning a meeting, dealing with change, getting ready to negotiate, etc. read those chapters to pick up pointers that can be applied quickly and easily to your everyday interaction, problem or situation.
