Introduction
Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always
have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss. Good
thinkers solve problems, they never lack ideas that can build an organization,
and they always have hope for a better future. Good thinkers rarely find
themselves at the mercy of ruthless people who would take advantage of them or
try to deceive them, people like Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, who once boasted,
“What luck for rulers that men do not think.” Those who develop the process of
good thinking can rule themselves—even while under an oppressive ruler or in
other difficult circumstances. In short, good thinkers are successful.
I’ve studied successful people for forty years, and though the diversity you
find among them is astounding, I’ve found that they are all alike in one way:
how they think! That is the one thing that separates successful people from
unsuccessful ones. And here’s the good news. How successful people think can
be learned. If you change your thinking, you can change your life!

professionally. It really can change your life.
