You deserve to be happy and successful. What's holding you back?

Successful and authentically happy people have one thing in common: Personal responsibility.

Based on the blockbuster TEDxPasadenaWomen talk ...

Do you want to be happy, but just don’t know how?

Are you trapped by the people, events, or attitudes of your past?

Are you “stuck” at work or school?

Do you look at the mirror and wonder, “Why do I sabotage my chances for success?”

It's time to do something drastic: put aside every other self-help or business book you own and read this book.

Whether the other personal development books you’re reading are about finding wealth, defeating depression, flipping houses, succeeding as a woman in business, doing well in college, seeking inspiration, making money on the Internet, or coping with addiction, all of these books are USELESS until you learn the power of responsibility.

In this book, you will learn the six simple decisions that will help you:

Take control of your career

Rebuild damaged relationships

Let go of the toxic people in your life

Find joy in the people and events around you

Let go of co-dependency

Become stronger, happier, and more successful

This fast-track plan for success has worked for thousands—from Fortune 500 executives to parents to college students. It WILL work for you.

The six decisions are your key to unlimited success. If you are ready to change your life for the better, scroll up and click "Buy Now." Why wait any longer?

Demeaning to true child abuse survivors

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

I really wanted to like this book. However, I found myself angry while reading it. Perhaps it is the change in our culture. But taking responsibility for your life and doing it is not a new idea. Not at all, in fact, it was the way things were until, perhaps, more recent generations. I am of the baby boomer era and the author is from a much later generation. She presents taking responsibility for yourself as some kind of new idea, a new trick, to happiness. It is not a new idea, it is older than she can begin to imagine. She needs to listen to herself and read some history. This is such a sad statement of what the newer generations have become. She was abused by a high school teacher from age 15-19, she refers to it as child abuse. I don't understand the lack of culpability of anyone old enough to have a learner's permit for driving when it comes to engaging in sexual behavior, with or without one alcoholic parent and the other in denial. Did the high school teacher break the law and moral codes? Yes. Was it wrong that school administration minimized it? Yes. Was she old enough to know enough say no? Yes. The legal mature age is 18, so her "child abuse" continued into her legal adult age, yet she remains fast in her description of it as child abuse. At one point the author says to look around at 15 year olds and see how immature they are. Well, yes, more so with these recent generations. Throughout history, at 15, you were looking at marriage or already married. I shutter to think how this author would counsel REAL child abuse victims, as in those that had NO CHOICE, by force and were truly children. Would she say the same thing, just take responsibility for yourself? Just know it wasn't your fault and take responsibility for your life? HUH? If I heard such nonsense said to a toddler or child who had been abused, I would likely slap this author. Personally, myself having been abused from the time I was a baby, I find her approach very minimizing and insulting. Despite years and years of abuse, known to others and ignored, while I was too young (below the age of 5) to do anything about, I took responsibility for my life, by her full definition and more, easily before age 9. The only reason I give this 2 stars instead of one is if what she says is really true, that more recent generations ARE so coddled, ARE so used to having everything come to them with ease, ARE expecting everyone else to do for them, ARE expecting everyone else to take responsibility for them, then those people DO need a wake up call, although there are much better qualified people to do it than the author who is milking her own poor grown up decisions for personal success. Besides that, I find this author insulting and demeaning to survivors of REAL child abuse.

The Power of Responsibility: Six Decisions That Will Help You Take Back Happiness and Create Unlimited Success Kindle Edition
by Joelle Casteix is most definitely a powerful book. I really did love it. I am going to read it again. From personal experience that most people won't even discuss, she takes us through the reasons we need to take responsibility for our lives and our actions, as well as what we do with our future. She tells us we have permission and necessity to take responsibility and turn our lives around 180 degrees. Taking responsibility can lead us to the happiness we all seek and will lead us to success in everything we do. She says to stop blaming others for our lives. We are responsible. We have to make the changes and that will make all the difference. "Flip the switch and you can have a life that exceeds your dreams." Yes. You have have the power to be wealthy, famous, successful, and, yes, happy. So, take responsibility and read this book. It will make the difference between where you are now and farther than where you think you can be. From what she says, I see no end to how far we can go. Make sure you go and watch her TEDx talk. It's a very powerful talk and this is a very powerful book. I can't recommend it highly enough in this short review. Read it. Live it.

Joelle Casteix tells it like it is

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

Joelle Casteix tells it like it is, in a accessible and relatable manner. She shares the wisdom she's learned along her journey that has allowed her to work through the trauma of childhood sexual abuse and thrive in her adult life. Though there are many great resources available to help us, if we fail to accept personal responsibility for our lives and our choices, we will only go so far. This book helps us get to the root issues, so we can heal and make better choices.

While there are many greats points I could highlight, my personal favorites are:
-Giving ourselves permission to be responsible and own our emotions/experiences, so that we can work through them, (to grieve, be frustrated, not have all the answers, be imperfect, be nicer to ourselves), instead of making excuses and playing the victim.
-Eliminating the toxic relationships in our lives that are like poison, and creating strong, healthy boundaries.

Want Power? Get Responsible!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

Joelle Casteix took her very popular TedX talk and expanded it into a very powerful self help book. In this focused, inspiring book she tells her own very personal story, sharing how she shed the role of victim and became responsible for her own decisions. It is so true that we cannot control the actions of others or change our personal history, but we can own responsibility for every choice we make each day. This can be life changing and powerful. This is the kind of book you will want to read again and purchase for friends and family members that you truly care about. How much better can your life be without playing the blame game every day? This book will give you a clear path and method to change your life forever.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2015

We all know it is important to be responsible. This power-packed book unfolds the reasons why it is so important and what taking responsibility can do for us. We can't change what has happened to us, but we can face it and take responsibility for our healing and our future. I like how the author turns being in a victim role to empowering yourself to create your future and write a happy ending! Taking responsibility leads to our authentic happiness. For a short book, it comes with life-changing information if only the reader will take responsibility. I am a counselor and I have already recommended it to many of my clients. You won't regret buying this book!

What an empowering book!

What an empowering book!
Years of work in overcoming a highly challenging personal history boiled down into 6 compelling and simple - though not necessarily easy - decisions. Readers are challenged to embrace responsibility, decide to be happy and take power even in situations of powerlessness.

Also followed the link to Casteix's TedX talk, which is a great companion to the book and adds to her credibility. A very inspiring read.
