Title:  The Great Connection:  A Story that Reveals
Life’s Most Vital Lesson:  How to Connect with
Others – Especially Yourself
Author:  Arnie Warren
Stars:  ****

“The secret to success is total belief in yourself.”  This is a message of
The Great Connection.  In order to believe in yourself, you first have to
know who you are.  The author steps the reader through a process for
finding how to do so.  Start out by identifying your effective and ineffective
traits which map to a personality style.  If that doesn’t work, go on line and
take the assessment.  Neutralizing or discarding your ineffective traits will
allow you to focus on your strengths and become the person you were
meant to be.  

The author gives interviewing tips that help you determine the personality
style of others.  He advocates adapting to and affirming the best of their
styles in order to make "The Great Connection" and become an effective
communicator.  The more you know about what makes others tick, the
better you can relate to them.  This can have dramatic impacts both
professionally and personally.  Those that have been exposed to other
personal profile tools (like DiSC) will recognize similarities.

The author makes the learning experience entertaining and inspiring by
walking the reader through the self discovery process of the main
character, Bob Hathaway.
