Summary

This book is a practical and narrative manifesto on an often underestimated strength: the ability to guide one's emotions instead of being guided by them. Napoleon Hill shows how enthusiasm, without inner discipline, becomes wasted or destructive energy, while self-control transforms it into constructive power, clarity, and results.Through vivid and memorable episodes—from humiliation that turns into a personal turning point, to the “deaf” woman who wins over difficult customers thanks to her composure, to opportunities lost due to a brusque response—the lesson reveals a central truth: those who do not control themselves end up paying an invisible price in relationships, work, money, and reputation.The heart of the text is clear: self-control is control of thought. Learning to select what enters the mind, filter out negative suggestions, control impulsive reactions, and direct action toward a main goal means becoming “balanced”: people capable of forgiving, negotiating, resisting chaos, and winning without losing themselves.

    Do you sometimes feel like your messages are received differently than intended? Do you keep falling into the same communication traps at work or in your personal life? Do conversations often not go the way you hope? Then it's time to approach communication strategically – and this guide will show you how it works!
The idea that "you cannot not communicate" is now common knowledge – which makes it all the more important to communicate well. Misunderstandings are probably the number one cause of frustration, stress, and disappointment in daily life. The concept of transactional analysis provides an easy solution by focusing on analyzing and reflecting on lived experiences – meeting all participants exactly where they are in the conversation. Like financial transactions, the sender and receiver roles are examined, and the relevant components are clearly broken down.
You'll start by understanding the psychological concept and familiarizing yourself with the underlying theory. Then, through a variety of practical examples and exercises, you'll learn how to apply this knowledge in everyday life.
Need psychology expertise? Not at all! The clear and systematic explanations combined with easy step-by-step exercises make this book ideal for beginners and will quickly turn you into a master of communication.

    We always wonder that every House in Vedic astrology has different meaning and results. So how does the planet sitting in it will behave. So in this book I am describing how Venus will give results in different houses in most possible and descriptive way. The planet behavior changes along with the house it sits in and give different results. Every house itself is a mystery and planet sitting in house becomes more mysterious and gives results in very different pattern. Planet is nothing but a cosmic energy which in particular location in house during our birth impacts our entire life the way we think and the way we behave and also controls our emotions. The glands in our brain reacts to this cosmic energy and creates a certain characteristic in our life patter and day to day life and we can understand this by understanding our horoscope and by checking which house the planet is sitting and how it impacts our thinking and life. I hope you will love this book and enjoy reading.
