Make Sure Your Shirt Has Buttons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595411207)

No matter if you consider yourself a success or are seeking ways to experience it, Make Sure Your Shirt Has Buttons describes certain behavioral and personality traits we all must use to succeed in life. We are taught throughout our childhood and well into adulthood that there are typically four things we must do if we want to achieve success. The four things, referred to metaphorically in the book as "shirts", are: get an education; get a job; maintain good physical and mental health; obey all laws.

We're taught about these four things at school, home, and through a variety of other methods. But one message that is not taught is the fact that these four things only lay the foundation for what it takes to begin the process of succeeding in life. Just as a real shirt won't function as intended, or look as good without buttons, the author provides 13 principles that serve as "buttons" to complement the metaphorical shirts. Through the use of personal examples, the author shares various strategies, suggestions, recommendations, and tips that describe the process to become a success.
