Editorial Reviews

Review

Excellent book for team development. Everyone who reports to me has read it and we now use the eight principles as our operating guidelines. The assessment tools were very informative and helpful. --Dan Armstrong, Executive VP of a Silicon Valley software company

I am giving this book to every person in my company and to every new hire. It's sets a new standard. --Mike Hirsh, CEO of a marketing and PR company

I could not put this book down. Something new was happening around every corner. I had no idea I would learn so much about myself. i saw myself in everyone of the characters. I want all of my friends to read it. --Pamela Mills


Product Description

Throughout this intriguing tale you will be captivated by the four characters who, in a few life-changing days of denial, resistance, internal struggle, and awakening, learn how they are blocking their own success. This is not another "power of positive thinking" book, with lists of things to do, theories or rules you have to follow. In "Your Survival Strategies Are Killing You!" you will actually be drawn into the absorbing story in a way that moves you from observer to participant allowing you to experience your own transformation at the skillful hands of Martha Borst.

4.0 out of 5 stars Create Balance, June 27, 2007
This book allows you to create balance with work and family life. Of course, many books have been written highlighting this before. Where this book shines is in illustrative fictional accounts that give clarity to the eight principles that lead to harmony in life. Through the accounts you learn about practical application of each principle to daily situations in work and home. Ultimately, the book is intended to help you take control of your destiny and it for the most parts succeeds in doing this. Its greatest value is in asking us to reexamine our basic assumptions about what creates success in work and in life.

I also recommend "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" and a powerful novel on personal transformation "Nexus: A Neo Novel."

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Survival Strategies are Killing You, June 19, 2007
Over the years I have taken many self help courses. EST, Landmark Forum, Life Spring, and several courses related to improving myself as a person and business person. They were helpful, but time consuming and expensive. Reading "YOUR SURVIVAL SKILLS ARE KILLING YOU" was like taking a three day course, and it cost less than $20 and I didn't have to give up a weekend. As a matter of fact, I found this book to be better than the courses. Having time to ponder each character, I was able to find the characteristics in each of them that pertained to me, or to members in my family. Through their revelations, I had many of my own revelations. As they found the sage within them, I could see the sage within me. I think this happend, in part because the reading flowed easily. The writing was literary and with just enough description to give clear images, but not get in the way of feeling like I was in the room with Martha and the characters. Martha, the character who leads the sessions, and who happens also to be the author, is a true inspiration, a true sage and teacher in the most fundamental and profound sense of the words.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever done a self improvement weekend and would like an inexpensive refresher, and, I recommend it to anyone who has not done the weekend, but would like to get the results anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Your Typical Summer Read, July 11, 2007
I enjoyed this book so much that I read it twice. In addition to the engaging story of four main characters and their journey of self discovery, this book also has a valuable assessment section. You'll enjoy the read as well as learn a thing or two about yourself. I truly couldn't put this book down. Can't wait for the companion guidebook!
