It’s time to flip the script on the internal stories you tell yourself and live life on your terms. Most of the “self-stories” you tell yourself—the kind of person you say you are and the things you are capable of—are invisible to you because they have become such a part of your everyday mental routine that you don’t even recognize they exist. Yet, these self-stories influence everything you do, everything you say, and everything you are. Choose Your Story, Change Your Life will help you take complete control of your self-stories and create the life you’ve always dreamed you’d have. Author Kindra Hall offers up a new window into your psychology, one that travels the distance from the frontiers of neuroscience to the deep inner workings of your thoughts and feelings. In Choose Your Story, Change Your Life, Kindra will help you: Uncover the truth of how you have created the life you have; Challenge everything you think you know about how your life has been built; Uncover the clear steps you can take to create the life you want; Take control of your self-story to become the author of who you are; and Live your life in a way you never have before. This eye-opening, but applicable journey will transform you from a passive listener of these limiting, unconscious thoughts to the definitive author of who you are and everything you want to be. Changing your life is as simple as choosing better stories to tell yourself. If you can change your story, you can change your life.

The term answer was swapped with its synonym, resolution. #3 The process of problem scoping at McKinsey is called moving up the issue tree. Associates are encouraged to express issues as questions in full sentence form, since doing so encourages clear thought and facilitates clear communication. #4 The USPS has three interlinked constraints that govern what the organization is able to do: the Universal Service Obligation, Private Express Statutes, and the Mailbox Access Rule. These constraints rule out certain solutions such as selling access to mailboxes to private couriers, limiting delivery frequency in selected geographical areas, or selling alcohol or tobacco products.
