[JLJ - compare with Getting Unstuck by shrink Joy Browne, 2002.]

p.1 The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new. -Pema Chodron
 
Everyone gets stuck. It's part of being human.
 
p.4 You Unstuck will give you a philosophy and a process so you can finally change the beliefs that are keeping you stuck, which will change you behavior, which will change your life.
 
p.4 With most issues, accurately identifying the problem is the first step toward solving it. And that goes doubly for getting unstuck... let's look at the underlying methodology for getting unstuck - and virtually any other work/life challenge you may have - in my proven "Clarify, Simplify & Execute" process.
  This method, CSE for short, is a simple problem-solving matrix into which you can plug any relevant data.
 
p.8 Although the Simplify portion of the CSE model may not sound all that simple, the goal is always to find the most direct route to reach your vision.. That might include brainstorming, reviewing past failures and successes, eliminating obstacles, getting expert information, or doing some research on your own. Once you've got that clear vision and you've simplifies the action path, then all you have to do is act.
 
p.10 Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. -Winston Churchill
 
p.199 He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything. -Arab proverb
 
p.209 The greatest wealth is health. -Virgil
 
p.251 F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "Vitality shows not in the ability to persist, but in the ability to start over." He makes a good point that while persistence toward a singular goal can keep you stuck in the wrong direction, the willingness to make course corrections or start over when necessary is what gets you to the finish line.
 
p.265 If we're headed in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. -Buddhist proverb
