Résumé :
Sometimes life throws you a curveball when everything you planned for or hoped for suddenly changes. Maybe you didn't get the promotion you deserved, or you found out that the boyfriend or girlfriend of your dreams was really a nightmare, or you experienced the loss of a loved one. In those moments, you have to decide to shift. Shift your perspective to the things that really matter. Shift your focus from the trivial and mundane to joy and a higher purpose. Shift from matters of the temporal to an emphasis on the eternal. Shift from fear to faith, from products to people, and from money to meaning. In Shift: A Playbook for Positive Change, author Douglas M. Williams, Jr. shows you how to live in the moment by letting go of the past, not worrying about the future, and embracing the present.
