Do you want to be happy? Responsible? Successful? Of course, but what must you do to be happy, responsible, and successful? How do you achieve those goals and others? Often, the answer isn't clear. But knowing where to begin is critical.

In these books, you'll learn that we are all internally motivated and that internal standards (or "references") influence our behavior and that of others. Realizing how you act in order to meet these internal standards will help you lead a more satisfying life and will empower you to take small and important steps toward personal transformation.

Understanding behavior is integral to building and maintaining relationships with family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and anyone else. When you understand why people do the things they do, you are better equipped to self-evaluate, problem-solve, defuse difficult situations, and reach consensus.
