BKCNCNTR.RVW), which related that ability to relaxation learning, "Drive and Determination" is here related to goal setting and beliefs. Also like the earlier book, the conceptual background is declarative, rather than explanatory. Unlike it, however, this book is neither terribly convincing nor easily applicable to areas outside of sports. The "get rich quick" infommercials all have one statement in common: if you want money badly enough, you can get it. (The trick, of course, it to get the money without sacrificing your humanity, but the money mavens have long since stopped worrying about that.) So, here, Dalloway proposes that if you want a goal badly enough, you can attain it. The exercises described may be of assistance, but leave a lot to be desired. And explained. copyright Robert M.
