THESE HABITS WILL MAKE YOU EXTRAORDINARY. Twenty years ago, author Brendon Burchard became obsessed with answering three questions: 1. Why do some individuals and teams succeed more quickly than others and sustain that success over the long term? 2. Of those who pull it off, why are some miserable and others consistently happy on their journey? 3. What motivates people to reach for higher levels of success in the first place, and what practices help them improve the most After extensive original research and a decade as the world’s leading high performance coach, Burchard found the answers. It turns out that just six deliberate habits give you the edge. Anyone can practice these habits and, when they do, extraordinary things happen in their lives, relationships, and careers. Which habits can help you achieve long-term success and vibrant well-being no matter your age, career, strengths, or personality?

The question is asked, is there more to life than meets the eye? The Universe responds and takes us on an enthralling journey. Led by Spirit Guides, we travel with the author through past lives, meditations, and challenging lessons of the heart. Using life on Earth as a classroom for lessons—woven together by land and water—animals advise, stones speak, and plants provide. Teachings include Love Never Dies, I Am Not My Body, Forgive Yourself, Peace Begins with Me, Listen to the Animals, and Lighten Up. SPIRIT GUIDE GEORGE ENTHUSES: “When humans become confused, they are at the brink of a new understanding. The spirit either soars with the prospect of exploring new territory or retreats to hide until the feeling of safety returns. Allow your confusion to be your teacher.” LION ROARS: “Embrace the animal kingdom. Watch us. The behavior we display is a lesson for you. We ask not to be tamed, but to be heard. Know that every time you look at us, we are looking back at you. Walk like the mighty cat you are—with silent strength, determination, and courage in each step; with patience and experience in your pace; and with your purpose gleaming in your eyes. Remember the rhythms and heartbeats of life in the wild.” GREAT SPIRIT ADVISES: “Find the doorway within. Wisdom is the key that unlocks the door from the physical world to spiritual realms. There are many ways to reach enlightenment. Experience the magnificent, universal aspect of your being. You have the permission and power to do this, and need only the will—it is up to you. Uncover your past to understand your present situation. The answers lie within you, and await your discovery.”
