“I am truly blown away.”

“If you're looking for immediate results, try applying the principles presented in this book.”
  L.M.

“This book has inspired me to raise the bar in all areas of my life, and with your simple and realistic approach, I know that I can!”
  M.Y.

But that is not why I wrote this book.

Anyone Can Improve His or Her Life: The Principles of Quality was written for one reason, and one reason only: to increase the level of quality in the world. Self-improvement is merely the inevitable by-product. While it is certainly true that one's life gets better when he knows the principles of quality and how to apply them, it is also true that everything that person touches, everyone he knows, also benefits.

But improving one's own life is a pretty good starting point, and a good way to demonstrate the principles of quality, so this book starts with you and your life. Future books will focus on more specific areas, like business or education or government — all of which would benefit from higher quality.

PURE LOGIC:
To make something better is to improve its quality.
To improve the quality of something is to make it better.

Everything has a certain level of quality: a car, a house, a job, a relationship, a life. If you know the principles of quality, you know how to raise that level.

This book provides the tools to make life better.

Here is a quote from the Introduction:

"But what always works? What works for everyone, all the time? What can a person actually do, and know his life will be better because of it? There is really only one thing:

HE CAN MAKE HIS LIFE BETTER.

No, this is not a joke. This is a case of the obvious being true, but not understood very well. People know they could make their lives better; they only stumble on how to do it. They end up wasting a lot of time on dead ends or actions that don't help, and they get discouraged.

This book contains plain and simple information that you can agree with and use, and surprise! your life will start to get better, almost instantly. It's a kind of magic."

What makes this book different?

The book is different from many others because it is easy to read, and it makes sense. Nothing in it has to be taken on faith or applied without understanding. While the results often seem magical, the principles of quality are just practical, logical reasoning. Yet they are deep, underlying all activities and actions.

Will reading this book get you a better job?

Hmmm, lemme think. If you suddenly start excelling at what you do, do you think you might attract some favorable attention?

Getting a better job is the least of what can happen. It's not even the point of the book — just another by-product. The principles of quality lie under everything you do, from work to home to hobbies to education to being healthy. What's best, though, is once you learn them, you can't not apply them: it just wouldn't make sense to you not to.

What have those who have read it said?

Start with my brother. I asked him what he thought, and his response was not written for marketing purposes, but as an analysis to help me:

"I am overwhelmed by the level of thought and careful consideration you have put into this subject. Had anyone asked me to offer a few observations about the nature of quality, I would never have arrived at the detail and thoroughness your book provides. I am truly blown away.

"It felt more like a philosophical essay ... [you are] reasoning with your readers, and leading them to new perspectives in a very intellectual way. It was that aspect of the book I found most interesting and instructive. While I don't feel impelled to make changes in my life, there have probably been changes made without my noticing, simply by the reading and processing of your thoughts on mine.

"Sadly, there are far too few introspective people out there. ... Most people want their thinking done for them. ... Your book may just be too subtle to have the impact of traditional motivational books. The subtlety comes from your NOT taking the line of enthusiastic effervescence that tries to excite people into transformational change, a change I feel rarely sticks. Instead, your careful and reasoned approach may effect greater long term change, despite being less dramatic."

Here's another one, unsolicited:

"For anyone who leads a busy life and feels that stopping to read an entire book would be too large a commitment, this book is the answer. Each paragraph and chapter is short and makes a clear point. The beauty of this book is that you can open it to any chapter and quickly find what you want to know. The book's small size makes it easy to carry along and read on the go."

And that's enough of that.

So what ARE these Principles of Quality?

Well, I don't want to get into the meat of the book too much here, since I would have to leave too much out. But I can tell you there are three Major Principles, four Applied Principles, and then I get into thirteen Quality Actions, all based on but extending the Principles. Then there are a few chapters on Appropriate Quality, Perfectionism, and Ethics. Here is a morsel: the first Principle talks about the Quality Attitude — what it is and how to get it.

Each one of these Principles and Actions can stand alone, and be applied alone, with great effect. Most readers have told me they will keep the book nearby, to refer again to a specific Principle or Action that applies at the moment. Putting them all together, using them with each other, multiplies the results. This is a book to be read and re-read, getting more out of it with each reading.

HAVE YOU HEARD ENOUGH? ORDER HERE!

What? You haven't heard enough yet? All right, try this on for size.

Every day, you hear complaints from people about other people, or about some company not living up to its hype, or about a stupid rule. You may even make a complaint or two yourself. Every complaint is a signal that some principle of quality has not been applied. Anyone Can Improve His or Her Life: The Principles of Quality will (1) make sure the complaints you don't hear aren't about you, and (2) help you help others improve their quality. Yes, there are actions you can take that don't make someone else feel bad, to help them. And guess what? If their quality improves, your life gets better!
