THE SCIENCE OF PERSONAL POWER

How to Build Confidence, Create Success, and Obtain Freedom

The Science of Personal Power reveals how to bridge the science of inner well-being with the science of outer achievement by developing personal power – a concept that, when put into practice, is a pathway to both happiness and success. Unlike formal power, which focuses on authority, personal power is how we feel about our own capability to create impact. When we feel big, we show up big.

"Once again, Chris Lipp provides actionable, science-based guidance to help you achieve success both in your career and personal life."

Author of Think Faster, Talk Smarter
