Ascend is an innovative book embedded with powerful tools for leaders and offers an engaging way to share the path toward personal transformation with everyone. It presents a captivating allegory that helps leaders identify and break through long-standing beliefs that limit access to their innate potential for human happiness and exponential business success.

Through the experiences of the characters in Ascend, readers see how their own limiting beliefs and mental models tacitly impede their quest for personal mastery and accomplishment, both personally and professionally. As the characters take important steps to discover and liberate their truer selves, readers face the same key decision: Am I willing to engage in a life-altering journey to grow cognitively, behaviorally, emotionally, and spiritually? The answer promises to be transformational and profound.

Do you believe your deepest aspirations are hidden from you? Did you know that disconfirming experiences can create slight shifts that unlock the door to your unrealized potential? Do you know how to become more effective at influencing others?

Business Success Through Self-Knowledge takes you on a short journey that explains why many of us have a sense of unrealized potential that eludes us. It offers examples and illustrations of how we create tacit but enduring mental models early in life that limit our view of ourselves and our power to influence others. Clear and practical steps are included on how to transform ourselves, our organizations, and those we seek to influence.

Written for business leaders, business consultants, and coaches, Business Success Through Self-Knowledge espouses principles that, when applied correctly, can benefit everyone. While other business books show leaders what to focus on for greater effectiveness, Business Success Through Self-Knowledge tells you how best to accomplish it. This book sheds light on the real foundation of personal mastery, addressing the most critical of questions: What do I need to know about myself to actually put my greater potential to use? And how do I get there? They may just be the most important questions you will ever consider.

The Path The Path may be utilized as a stand alone entity or as a workbook used to accompany the allegory Ascend: Forging a Path to Your Truer Self by William D. Anton, PhD. Dr Anton’s work provides a deep understanding of how most of the limits we experience in life are self-imposed and are created based on fixed mental models. By increasing our level of self-knowledge we become more aware of how unlimited our potential really is and can become a more positive and influential force to both ourselves and to those around us.

The Path provides a step-by-step guide that shares personal experiences and challenges the reader to explore and question his or her own mental models. Like any journey, the new discoveries made along The Path and the experiences along the way, help us learn more about ourselves, especially that we are much more capable than we think we are.
