Book Description
Lawyers need motivating. As with all intelligent human beings, the best motivation is self-motivation. After many years without an original and empathetic book, we now have a strikingly original one written for practitioners. With the metaphor of surfing and the ocean flowing throughout, the authors have drawn on their collective experience and brought together not only some powerful psychological tools but a beautiful collection of ideas and images which will continue to inspire long after the first reading. It is aimed at lawyers, legal students, staff working in legal offices, and anyone interested in improving their lot and living their live with passion.
The book starts by dealing with the power of the mind and examines visualizations, underlying beliefs and one’s own internal language. Itthen goes on to examine communications skills ranging from the building of rapport and body language to advocacy techniques. Next is a section on goal setting, values and ways in which positive changes can be made fast and effectively in all areas of one’s life. Finally, work/ lifebalance is addressed focusing on various aspects of health and leisure.
