The audience who loves the Chicken Soup series, Life Strategies, and The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People will love how Barry Maher translates the lessons of highly successful salesmanship into success in business.
For many of us, there is a disconnection between what we believe we
should be doing in our careers and our lives, and what we actually find
ourselves doing. In Filling the Glass: The Skeptic's Guide to
Positive Thinking in Business, author Barry Maher provides ten
strategies to overcome that disconnect, turning the job (and life) you
have into the job (and life) you want, so that you never have to settle
for half full or half empty again.
From the Publisher
Praise for Filling the Glass:
“…one of the few must-read books of the year. Packed with useful, practical advice, it’s also entertaining and frequently laugh-out-loud funny.”
—Jerry Colangelo, CEO of the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks, and Coauthor of How You Play the Game: Lessons for Life from the Billion-Dollar Business of Sports
“Barry Maher makes an uplifting, enlightening and inspiring contribution to the world of business with Filling the Glass. I’d make the book required reading for any MBA program, because it transcends mere business and moves up onto the spiritual plane with commonsense and yet rarely practiced wisdom. His book is as readable as it is practical. It’s loaded with anecdotes and brimming with insight.”
—Jay Conrad Levinson, Author, Guerrilla Marketing
“Filling the Glass…is about attaining our professional aspirations. Some of the best business leaders in America have reached the pinnacle of success by following the same lessons that this book highlights.”'
—James M. Citrin, Coauthor, Lessons from the Top: The Search for America’s Best Business Leaders, and Managing Director, Spencer Stuart
IT’S NOT WHETHER THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL—IT’S HOW YOU FILL IT UP
Barry Maher has helped hundreds of the nation’s top organizations with his enormously successful sales strategies (“Make your biggest liabilities your strongest assets!”). Now Maher takes these same techniques and shows non-salespeople how to achieve success and satisfaction in business, and in life.
If you can’t justify to yourself what you are doing with your life,
if you aren’t working toward goals in which you honestly believe, then
you will never be—by your own standards—successful. Filling the Glass
provides you with ten strategies to turn around your career—and your
life—so that you never have to settle for half full or half empty again.
