You are what you believe. Use positive self-talk to change your life.

During the American Revolution, American troops pursued the British army. They moved through northern New York and into Canada. The British reached Quebec City and halted there. In the ensuing battle, the Americans suffered a crushing defeat and returned home in disarray. This was because Quebec City was walled. The Americans couldn't breach the walls, and the British, from within, successfully defended the city. The walls proved to be an effective defense. This book is about how to take control of your life. It's clear you can't change everything in your world. What you can do is look for the weaknesses in your "walls" and then build a strategy for self-control. What coping mechanism do you use when pressures weigh you down and control seems to slip through your fingers? Do you tend to over-control or become overwhelmed by emotions beyond your capacity to handle?
