Overview

Matthew Cossolotto made a promise to his dying mother. That unbreakable commitment propelled him down a life-changing path as an author and speaker and ultimately inspired Harness Your PromisePower, a new book that explores why heartfelt promises can drive transformation when goals and resolutions often fall short. ""I think of promise-making as the new frontier in personal change and achievement,"" Cossolotto said. ""You can change a goal or abandon a New Year's resolution, but you can only break a promise. And most people are loath to break their promises."" In Harness Your PromisePower, Cossolotto recounts in heartwarming detail the life-changing promise he made to his mother and the profound impact it had on both his life and career. That deeply personal story sets the stage for a broader exploration of promise-making as a powerful, and often overlooked, tool for personal change. Chicken Soup for the Soul co-creator Jack Canfield contributes the book's foreword, in which he reflects on a defining promise he made at age 27 - one he credits with helping shape his sense of purpose and long-term success. ""Perhaps after reading this book and learning more about the power of making a promise,"" Canfield writes, ""more people will take advantage of this amazing, irresistible force for positive change -- a resource that should be regarded as one of our greatest treasures in life."" Harness Your PromisePower features scores of inspiring stories from and about real people - including some familiar names - who made life-altering promises and kept their word. The book also provides practical advice and step-by-step pointers to help readers tap into their innate power of making a promise. Readers of Harness Your PromisePower will discover: Uplifting promises made by luminaries such as Jack Canfield, Oprah Winfrey, Brendon Burchard, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Lisa Nichols, John Assaraf, Tony Robbins and basketball legend LeBron James The promises behind iconic organizations like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Susan G.

""We all have access to this amazing, make-or-break power. Promises come from the heart and carry emotional weight, and as a result, you're much more likely to follow through.""
