Tamara Lowe, Tamara Lowe Dworsky, . . Doubleday, $24.95 (320pp) ISBN 978-0-385-52469-8

Lowe, cofounder and executive vice president of Get Motivated Inc., producer of the world’s largest business seminars, shares a system for motivating yourself and others based on an eight-year study conducted with more than 100,000 people. Identifying drive as the single greatest key to success in every area of life, the author investigates its origins, concluding that everyone is hardwired with a specific motivational pattern, or DNA, and that anyone can nurture and harness its potential in themselves, their children and co-workers. The author explores the motivational value of money and relationships, and distills lessons from such high achievers as Jerry Lewis, Colin Powell, George Foreman, Joe Montana and Mother Teresa. A substantial section on raising positive, focused children sheds light on the phases of childhood and correlating motivators at each stage. Full of practical tools and techniques (including a useful “Goal Achievement Blueprint”), this refreshing and inspirational book is sure to keep readers on a path to self-realized, self-motivated success.
