Here vital friends are split into eight categories Builders, Champions, Collaborators, Companions, Connectors, Mind Openers Navigators & Energizers. Each of the categories is covered in depth in regard to their benefits and how best to profit from their strengths.

Anyone purchasing the book is provided with a unique code that allows them access to a website and allows them to catalogue their own friends into the different categories.

The book observes the fact that nowadays we concentrate a lot on self development and personal growth but should spend more time in fostering one on one friendships.

We are also informed that in our search for a work life balance it isn’t that easy to have a nice clean demarcation between our work and our family life. An argument before we leave the house for work can start us in a negative spiral for the day and a negative influence at work can follow through into our home life.

Previously he held attitude above other skills, here he recognises that competence is more important than confidence.

Previously he would have changed staff for attitude, now he chooses for competence and then if necessary looks to improve their attitude.

The premise of the book is that although a positive attitude isn’t everything if you had two people of equal competence, the positive attitude would make the difference to success.

You don’t have to change all of your attitudes, just the major areas that are affecting you negatively

This book talks about the five obstacles to a positive attitude in depth and how to overcome them.

The five Obstacles being Discouragement, Change, Problems, Fear and Failure.
