Anthony DeStefano: Transforming yourself from head to soul

"If you really want people to stop making excuses and help them to do things right for a change and get back on track and do something radical like change their lives for the better, then you have to be a straight shooter. You've got to use tough love. I think that as long as they know that you're really, really trying to help them and maybe even on some level you love them, they yearn for tough talk. They want hear from people who have certitude," said Andrew DeStefano, returning guest and author of the new book 30 Days to Your New Life: A Guide to Transforming Yourself from Head to Soul. "One of the chapters is to get off your pity party and stop complaining. We all have to complain once in a while, but there comes a time when you really want turn things around and complaining paralyzes us and stops us from taking any productive action."
