Since a friend introduced me to Robert Kiyosake’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad, my interest was piqued by “wise” books that enrich lives. I dare not call them self-help books because personally the tag connotes individual helplessness, a dire need for rescue. You don’t have to be in the mire to appreciate the insights these books offer.

Jack Canfield, one of the co-creator of the widely read Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books (that’s just one of the 110 that he has written), will be in the country to share some more of his astute insights on 02 October 2006 at the Crowne Plaza Galleria Hotel.

He will be sharing his insights on how to cultivate a culture of success in your personal life and career. I assume his discussion will take off from his book The Success Principles. Sure, he’ll make you go there, give you sprinkling of thoughts about this and that, and you end up buying the book. I guess that’ll be no bad if you’re into this whole self-improvement mode. I am.

The seminar is brought here by International Training and Development (www.itd.com).
