A self-help book that does not mince words, and simultaneously a leader’s bible, the NEWLY REVISED Lighting Your Own Fuse: A Glossary of Mission, Vision, and Passion addresses an entire gamut of subjects that pertain to your world. Written with wit and creatively packaged in the form of a glossary, it is an important and timely read. This highly pertinent work has been forty years in the making. Discussing the anxiety caused by tightened budgets or less participation, the fear surrounding the need to pick up new computer or technical skills, or simply the reviewing and reminding us of the skills needed to maintain a high level of trust and constant willful communication within any family or organization, readers are raving. "I have just read the book cover to cover and it is a great read. It prompts me to think seriously about what really matters for building character, but more so helping others build their character. It also provides superb insights for improving relationships. This book and training is on-target and timely for those who want to progress and prosper." --Jack Hug, Past APPA President, Vice President University of Colorado From customer services to sales, from goal focusing to professionalism, from diversity to detachment, and from leadership and management techniques to relationship repair, this is a comprehensive read. In it we see a whole new take on The Good Wolf / Bad Wolf, Reputation, Diversity, Detachment, Negaholism, Rackets and Stories, Trust and Attitude. Especially see Nutrition and Health and his "Star Wars - Luke It Is Your Destiny". “Mac Macdonald is a master at casting off the shackles of jargon and providing us exactly what we must know about human behavior in all of our relationships.
