What is needed to take the step from dreaming, to daring, and doing? Ben Tyler provides clear answers, based on sound behavioral research, yet very practical and fun.

But what is needed to change the phase of dreaming, into daring and – finally – into doing? What is the secret of real, permanent change?

Ben Tyler gives clear answers. Based on current psychological insights, practical experience and personal stories of people who have learned – with ups and downs – to manage themselves.
