Each chapter focuses on a different area of life and provides tip on how to successfully navigate the situations we live through.
The second book is called, “I AM, I WILL” by Dr. Daniel Jean. This book is essentially a life plan to creating the life that you desire. Both books, and the activities within, can serve as a solid life plan.
