This motivational book is for anyone committed to life change. It is guaranteed to help anyone truly ready to lose weight, stop smoking, improve her/his health, create new attitudes or move from debt to wealth. The 7 Keys come from the acronym CHANGES - Choose differently Hurt enough to want to change Ask for help and accept responsibility Never quit Grab onto the new, let go the old Embrace a new way Stop playing victim. Then serve others and surround yourself with only positive and supportive people.

At the end of each of the 7 keys, there are questions for the reader to answer and workbook space so the participant can truly make the experience his own. Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul endorses the book: "This book will change your life - if you are ready! Lin's 7 Keys are powerful, clear and practical. They will work for any person wanting to improve his or her life, health or wealth."

Steven Vannoy, best selling author of The 10 Greatest Gifts I Give My Children says "Dive in and soak it up. McNeil's formula for change is proven, yet fresh. No matter what rung of the ladder you're on, get ready to climb higher."

Sue Patton Thoele, best selling author of The Courage to Be Yourself, The Woman's Book of Spirit, and The Woman's Book of Soul says: "If you are wanting personal transformation, at least one of Linda McNeil's 7 Keys is sure to be the gentle kick you've been looking for!"

The author, Linda "Lin" McNeil knows change - the kind that creates important, lasting differences in our lives. She lost one-third of her body weight and has kept it off for more than 18 years. She nearly spent herself into bankruptcy, battled addiction, fought dangerously high blood pressure, suffered two unhappy marriages, and was driven to "succeed." After understanding that true change can only come from the inside out, Lin has turned her life around both personally and professionally. She has moved from misery to authentic happiness and success - measured by the moments of joy in her everyday life.

From the Author

It is my mission to help a million people do their own choices and changes. I am a professional speaker who does workshops on the 7 Keys to change. I help people do change and I help businesses deal with or manage change...because I know about changes and attitudes.

I wrote this book for anyone who has experienced the terrible isolation and pain of addiction, the prison of overweight, suicidal thinking, and/or overspending to try to fill the void. I trust there are some answers and ideas in it, which came from my own painful experiences. I have been miraculously blessed with a new life and fantastic opportunities to live a life of true joy.

For me, the hardest part of all was to finally understand that no new diet, new lover or new possession was going to create a new me; that nothing changes outside until something changes inside. My book is intended to give others some guidance - the chance to discover that for themselves.

From the Inside Flap

People Are Talking "The ideas you present in the 7 Keys are simple and real. They support the process of change as we make new choices in our lives. Most human beings don't like change, it is confusing and frightening. The help you provide through your book makes the change process more palatable!" Judy Sabah, Business/Personal Coach, Professional Speaker, Co-founder/Past President, Colorado Speakers Association.

"You brought an inspirational spark to our luncheon! We have gotten great feedback from our members. You gave many the gentle kick that you promised. Your experiences give your motivational talk backbone and credibility. Your enjoyment of the task pulls your audience up to the stage. You have a warm style that invites your listeners and readers to participate. The personal stories give your presentation texture, humor and relevancy.

You have a great story to share and the talents to share it vividly! You also made warm, personal connections with individuals you met prior to and after the luncheon. I have enjoyed your book as well. You give succinct insights into life. I am adopting one phrase from your book -- Live one day at a time and make it a masterpiece.

Very few people live the theory of abundance. It's nice to meet a woman who embodies the theory in her actions. I would highly recommend you as a speaker to any organization looking to inspire and motivate its members. Thanks, Lin" Keller Hayes, President, Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce.

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical, compassionate guide to change!, January 22, 1999

This review is from: 7 Keys to Changing Your Life, Health and Wealth (Paperback)

This is an excellent guide book for those ready to change and a compassionate motivator for those still trying to get the courage to do so. I loved this book. If I were to write a self-help book on change, this would be it. Lin speaks from her heart about her life and how she successfully transformed herself to be the best she can be. Change is about self-responsibility and that can be scary. It doesn't have to be though and this book shows how to support yourself through the change process one step at a time. Lin's 12 Step background and life experience offers a roadmap for others to make lifestyle or attitudinal changes. When we're in the process of change we need to support ourselves and this book is excellent support! Lynn Telford-Sahl, M.A., Certified Addiction Counselor
