Many times we read a book and then put it away, changing nothing in our lives. The difference with this book is that the chapters are short but full of good content. At the end of each chapter the author gives you action steps. To quote from the book, Victoria Moran says, "Your actions, far more than my words, will make the difference." The practice of taking action steps can internalize what the reader has just read and can start the change process immediately
