I’ve had a copy of this book for several years, and every time I get a chance to pick it up, I dive in. It’s one of those books that makes you feel like you’re part of a secret society. I love its take on the self-help genre, and the author’s frank approach to helping us all live more fully.
Walk on Air is Kate Spade, an American socialite who has a series of self-help books that are very popular. The two books that come to mind are “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Women.” The first is about a guy named Steve who is a brilliant sales manager but also a very lazy human being.
The books are basically a guide to life as a successful person. This is because they’re all about the way we tend to feel about ourselves. But the authors take a very different approach to motivating us to take better care of ourselves. Instead of telling us what we can do right now to get more money or be more popular, they tell us what we can do to live a happier life and help us discover our true individual selves.
I love the way that Steve, a successful sales manager, talks about life and what it should and shouldn’t be. All of these books have very similar ideas, but walk on air is a very different concept. Instead of telling us what we can do right now to get more money, they tell us what we can do to help ourselves and others become happier in other ways.
I love this idea of helping ourselves, because I think for a lot of people the idea of helping themselves is very threatening. A lot of people have a very rigid idea of what makes you a good person, and it is very easy for them to start pushing that idea of you as bad. I think that’s what’s so great about Steve’s book, because it gives people a chance to learn about themselves and help themselves.
There is a definite danger in doing this, because while helping ourselves might not be as bad as we think, it can still feel like we’re being forced to do it. If we’re doing it we’re probably doing it because it’s “the right thing to do.
That makes it sound bad, but honestly, I think the idea that people should be forced to take responsibility for their actions and choices is one of the biggest problems with the idea that all people are selfish. In the same way that we think that we should be forced to do something even though we don’t think it’s good, we should be forced to take responsibility for our own actions.
This is the question I got asked a lot in a recent Google search, “Do you think I should take responsibility for my actions?” and the answer is always “yes”. If we take responsibility for our actions we will be more likely to think about how we could have done things differently. We tend to take responsibility for our actions because we tend to believe that if we do nothing, we can be punished for our actions.
The problem is that not taking responsibility for your actions can have a very dangerous effect. When we see people punished in the news for their actions, we tend to think that the punishment is unjust. When we are punished we think that the punishment is unjust because we didn’t do anything to deserve it. Our punishment in this case is due to a lack of responsibility, which is a direct result of our beliefs in their guilt.
It’s a bit difficult for me to write this when I’m actually walking on air, but I’ll try. It’s not a very pretty sentence, but it’s the sentence that I think works best.
