A discussion about business ethics, character traits, integrity, and values

I'm intrigued by this book, Don't Let Others Rent Space In Your Head by Gary Coxe. I like the title, and agree with the premise, but Coxe keeps saying things like "depending on where you are in life, positive thinking may be counterproductive."

Zig Ziglar said something similar, that if you motivate an idiot, all you get is a motivated idiot. Coxe says, "clever sayings and stories are great if they help you remember something valuable, but too often experts try to motivate and inspire people with stories and clever words alone – you must go deeper."

So I'm curious, and want to understand, so I'll keep reading. I will go deeper to find what is hidden there.
