First sentence: Yes, introductions in books are usually boring. That's why readers often ignore them. I want you to read this one. That's why I've called it “Chapter 1.” If you are a boy who is at least ten years old, and who is be-ginning to think about who you are and how you fit in, this book is for you.
Description: Happiness and success in life depend on something nobody teaches you anything about – your mind. Most of the time brains just free-run, doing whatever they want with the inputs they receive, and taking us wherever they happen to drift, which often turns out to be places we would rather not be. Instead of letting an out-of-control brain be your master – a “monster” that constantly works against you – you can decide to take control, making your mind think rationally and constructively to provide a highly successful, abundantly happy and richly rewarding life.
