BAREFOOT ON BROKEN GLASS
The Five Secrets of Personal
Success in Massively Changing Business World
All of us can walk barefoot
across yards of broken glass without the slightest injury. But few of us believe that we
can. Walking on broken glass is a powerful physical metaphor for shattering the shackles
of apprehension that grip us all when we try something new. John Timperley walks with bare
feet on 2000 shards of glass to demonstrate conclusively that a focused mind, creativity,
willingness to try and commitment to see it through can allow us all to achieve the
apparently impossible. In Barefoot on Broken Glass Timperley reveals the secrets of
personal and organizational success. Anything is possible if we adapt to (or create)
change and unleash the full potential of the people around us by inspiring them to focus
on a believable vision with passion, commitment and urgency.
Barefoot on Broken Glass
shows us how to use the tools we all possess to:
Think faster and more
creatively
Do more in less time
Identify and achieve our
career and life goals
Remember more and absorb
information more quickly
Strengthen our power to get
things done
Use our thoughts to balance
our lives.
Barefoot on Broken Glass is
the book we need in an age when the pace of change has never been faster, where pressure
to perform has never been greater, and where stress related illnesses have rocketed to
levels that are shocking the medical profession. By rising above the seeming chaos and by
using our minds in a more productive and creative way we can perform at higher levels than
ever before.
