Many books have been written about the vices and deviant nature of human beingsnot so much about the depth, beauty, and nature of human potential. This guidebook to living a more fulfilling and productive life focuses on three phases of human behavior, and how progressing through them will help you achieve better and greater things. Phase 1 behavior is when you tear others down to lift yourself up. If you habitually practice this behavior, your reward will be jealousy, enviousness, and hatefulness. Phase 2 behavior is when you develop skills and talents that allow you to stand out in a crowd. This behavior is constructive and leads to many social benefits. Phase 3 behavior is the crowning achievement of human behavior because it revolves around lifting others up. Once you taste phase three behavior, you will never want to go back to lower levels of behavior, because it feels better. Filled with illustrations, anecdotes, and real-life examples exploring how to progress through the three phases, youll be inspired to live a more fulfilling, influential, and productive life with the lessons in Rising Above it All.
