“You Are Oprah: Igniting the Fires of Greatness” A formula to unleash the Oprah Effect in life by Howard Glasser, Greatness Arsonist

In “You Are Oprah: Igniting the Fires of Greatness,” bestselling author Howard Glasser weaves counter-culture spin on reinventing oneself for greatness. The new book, Glasser’s seventh, is full of “180s.” For example, there’s no need to stuff or energize WMDs – Worries, Misery and Doubts. Instead, one can learn how to use the intensity of those emotions to propel oneself forward and into even greater greatness, not fear. He uncovers the surprising reason why positive thinking doesn’t work for most people: because it’s really just disguised negativity that keeps people energetically stuck. Glasser’s proven formula, “The Greatness Practice: The Art of Self-Transformation,” is based on his research into the energetic underpinning of human relationships and positive psychology. It shows people how to energetically align their thoughts, words and actions to shed negativity, ignite their own greatness, transform themselves, and unleash their own unique version of The Oprah Effect.

Tucson, Ariz. (PRWEB) June 1, 2009 — In his newest book, “You Are Oprah: Igniting the Fires of Greatness,” bestselling author Howard Glasser contends that everyone can unleash in themselves their unique version of The Oprah Effect and live their greatest life now.

For many people, positivity is really just more negativity that keeps them energetically stuck. My approach turns that around so that even our difficult parts can be used to propel us forward. So we get to be every ounce of who we want to be.”

Glasser’s “Greatness Practice: The Art of Self-Transformation” is a proven formula based on his research of the energetic underpinnings of human relationships and positive psychology.

In “You Are Oprah: Igniting the Fires of Greatness,” Glasser reveals the surprising reason why most positivity fails, and shows readers how to:
