“Becoming Invaluable: Develop the Willitude to Navigotiate Success” by Steven J. Bowen and Terry Lyles, Ph.D. has been released worldwide. This 219-page, must-read book contains insights, wisdom, interviews, and practical applications for developing undeniable value, regardless of profession, type of organization, or background.
The insightful, inspiring message begins with the concept of “willitude” – emphasizing the importance of self-motivation, hard work, and flexibility. This cornerstone ideology is derived from combining the words “willpower” and “fortitude,” highlighting not only the importance of discipline, but of resilience as well. The second key term, “navigotiate,” combines “navigate” and “negotiate” to remind readers that moving through the real world involves navigating interpersonal relationships, negotiating situations, and the ability to adapt to change.
With these two key terms in tow, the authors provide actionable strategies, success stories, and guiding principles that create a path toward becoming an invaluable part of a business, team, or thriving as an individual. With a multifaceted approach to personal and professional development, the book challenges readers to embrace physical and mental expansion to find their highest calling and exist as the best versions of themselves.
From corporate expertise to modern psychological research, personal anecdotes to universal aspects of physical health, the book tackles its core ideas from a variety of angles, further reinforcing its point that achieving greatness is not a simple, straight line, but rather a combination of purpose, values, and vision factors that work together in harmony.
The authors point to five key attributes – knowledge, skills, attitude, health, and strength – as the most important areas of development and show the transformative potential that’s possible when they are all aligned with a purpose, values, vision, and mission. With combined backgrounds in psychology, education, business leadership, public speaking, and beyond, Bowen and Lyles have assembled a manual for making the most of any life path through awareness and diligence.
Packed with information, yet easily understood with plain language and helpful summaries, this excellent self-help/personal development book provides a holistic, detailed method of maximizing potential for anyone willing to invest in themselves.
