One of the most beautiful words in any language is potential. It looks forward to optimism. It is filled with hope. It promises success. It implies fulfillment. It hints at greatness.
Potential is a word based on possibilities.
Everyone has potential. There are people with unfulfilled potential too. Everyone desires to reach their potential. You can do this by growing, and to grow, you must be highly intentional about it.
God’s gift to us is our potential; our gift to him is developing it.
This book is an effort to help you learn how to grow and develop yourself, so you have the best chance of becoming the person you were created to be. John C. Maxwell desires to help you develop the right attitude, learn more about your strengths, tap into your passion, become more in touch with your purpose, and develop your skills so you can be all you can be.
This book will help you understand how personal growth works, and it will help you become a more effective and fulfilled individual. You don't need to be part of a team to grow although it helps. You just need to be someone who wants to grow and become better than you are today.
Growth is all-round, in purpose, in self-awareness, in relationships, and spirituality.
To discover your purpose, you need to grow in self-awareness. To become a better human being, you need to grow in character. To move in your career, you need to grow in your skills. To be a better spouse or parent, you need to grow in relationships. To reach your financial goals, you need to grow in your knowledge about how money works. To enrich your soul, you need to grow spiritually.
The specifics of growth changes from person to person, but the principles are the same for every person. This book offers laws that will teach you how to approach the worthy goal of growing. It is a key that unlocks the door. You cannot change your life until you change something you do every day. By learning the laws and then living them, you will be on your way to reaching your potential.
Did you know? According to one expert, the earliest recorded version of the saying “Experience is the teacher of all things” came from Roman emperor Julius Caesar, who wrote in De Bello Civili, and people have been using this saying for over two thousand years.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
