Book Description
Book publishers claim that 90 percent of the books purchased are purchased by less than three percent of the people. What does that mean? It means that you-if you purchased this book or if you received this as a gift-are either in the top three percent, or thinking about getting there. The greatest material gift anyone can give themselves, or anyone else, is a life-enhancing book. The wisest thoughts ever thought, the most powerful ways to deal with problems, and the universal truths enabling peace of mind appear in print. It is not the words that make a difference, but the meaning behind the words. If you are searching for more practical meanings, this book is filled with new views. This book began as 52 scripts for Dick Warn's The Miracle Minute radio spots that Bob Ridzak and Bill Georgi tested on the air in 2004 and 2005. (Clear Channel Radio Stations-Riverside, California.) Each Miracle Minute can be read in less than 60 seconds and each should be followed by thoughts and questions like: What did Dick Warn mean? What does this mean to me? And what, if anything, should I, or we, do differently? In the game of life, continual change is the name of the game because we are either growing or dying. I've done both and growing is better. Will every Miracle Minute be a perfect fit for you? Hardly! Some will miss the mark, others will spark awesome thought and a few will alter your life forever. One old truth, newly understood, is worth far more than the price of any book. Having spent most of my life trying to help others gain valuable insights, I have discovered that simple thought pieces like The Miracle Minute work much better than talking heads and video. And, in training sessions, The Miracle Minutes allow training facilitators to be highly effective, without preparation. First, a training facilitator has each participant read the same Miracle Minute before they come to the meeting. Then, during a meeting, the facilitator draws the best out of others. Through a process of reading, thinking about what they read, brainstorming and sharing information, the participants become their own teachers-learning far more than they would in any other way. The hardest part for facilitators is to remain silent and encourage participants to speak. Whether we like it or not, we are all riding together on Space Ship Earth. There are not two planet Earths. Nor is there any way to change planets. The very best we can do is build a better world from the inside out. And we can, if we are willing, be a miracle worker in the lives of others. When we help someone-including ourselves-to see deep-seated beliefs in brand new light, miracles do occur. Our thinker is our Creator. When time allows, get comfortable, throw on your thinking cap, and dive in to Miracle Minute One. Discover for yourself what these 52 Miracle Minutes can do for you and others with whom you share your world. Miracles occur the instant light breaks through and we gain a new view. What readers are saying: "I was a creature of comfort; I had been with the same company for 14 years. It 'felt safe.' When approached by another company, I didn't know what to do and Dick Warn asked: 'What are you afraid of-failure?' He hit the nail on the head. I was afraid. But that was then and now is now. As a result of Dick's practical wisdom, I have learned to step outside of my comfort zone. I have been inspired to excel as an employee, wife, mother, mentor and friend. Dick Warn occupies a very special place in my heart." Antoinette (Toni) Price Nestle Waters North America Inc. The book is new, yet Miracle Minutes (in the current form) have been going out weekly to over 300 people directly for over two years. This weekly process - in slightly different form - began two weeks before 9/11. As a result of those original emails, two radio stations in Southern California are broadcasting
