Mina Parker, tireless mum and author of 365 Excuse Me. (inspired by the late Lynn Grabhorn), introduces the new Hampton Roads Collection of motivational classics. These affordable digital shorts will help the harried and the hurried to breathe deep, reassess and refocus their day in the time it takes to drink a large latte. Wouldn't we all love to harness the power of concentration? Here's an excellent start to doing just that, in this second of the five lessons from Dumont's classic. This is a book your favourite grandparent might've loved, filled with salt of the earth practical advice, much of it surprisingly fresh and relevant, as well as aphorisms and stories. It's a delight to mine these early writings for the timelessness of the lesson that our thoughts can change our life, that our intentions can build our resources and create opportunity, that no matter what corner we find ourselves in we can always burst through doors we thought impossible to pry open.
