Product Description

With increasing competition in the workforce, it seems like an opportunistic time to read a book about how to succeed. For local residents interested in career development, Yorktown’s own Matthew Cossolotto redefines failure and the secret to embracing success in his new book called HabitForce scheduled for release this fall.

The 125-page book begins with personal vignettes about the author’s own negative experiences triggering him to define the behaviors that led him to a few professional failures. By doing this, he explores the character traits that hinder career development. He also examines and describes positive traits intended to replace old habits. "This is a subject that I know a lot about," says Cossolotto, jokingly referring to the topic of failure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Clear Path to Change, October 18, 2004

By	Cathleen A. O'Connor - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like everyone I have struggled with overcoming habits that held me back from achieving what I wanted to in life. What I like so much about Matthew Cossolotto's book is that it not only gives you a formula for success but it ties each success behavior with those habits that undermine one's abilities. Now each time I fall into one of the self-defeating habits, I can quickly look to the alternative and have a way to move past it. Unlike many books that tell you what to do, this book also tells you what not to do. That may seem obvious but a lot of what gets in our way is unconscious. It greatly helps to have it spelled out in a way that is specific, understandable and actionable. Get Habitforce! You won't be disappointed!

Everybody says, "think positive and you'll succeed." Well, how exactly do you do that? Matthew Cossolotto's little guide details EXACTLY what you need to do to carry out that old maxim. His ingenious seven-step formula should help everyone reach his or her full potential.
