"Top 10 Countdown to Having a New You by Friday" by Kevin Leman

One of the most influential books I've read to date is "Have a New You by Friday" by Kevin Leman. I plan on doing a full summary, but the amount of good information is so immense it will take a while to compile. In the mean time, I offer his summary, this Top 10 Countdown, from the book:

1. Pinpoint the area(s) you want to change about yourself.
2. Decide that you're not just going to try to become a "new you" this time. You are going to do it.
3. Identify your personality and all its strengths and weaknesses (the 4 humors).
4. Identify your birth order and all its strengths and weaknesses (The Birth Order book).
5. Identify your three earliest memories and evaluate what they say about you and your private logic.
6. Identify the lies you tell yourself - and refuse to believe them.
7. Identify your primary love language - and those of your friends and family members.
8. Decide how you need to act differently in your relationships - and then do it.
9. Decide how you need to act differently in your work - and then do it.
10. Give yourself a break. Everyone messes up sometimes. Each day's a new day.
