You can't depend on magic beans, a fast-growing beanstalk, and a fabulously rich but murderous giant to make you wealthy and happy; you can only depend on yourself and the personal beanstalk that you plant and nurture. A good start is to adopt the three imperatives put forth in this book: pamper yourself, be positive, and delete your toxins. Think of them as akin to Jack's bag of gold coins, his goose that lays an unlimited supply of golden eggs, and his harp that plays itself. This book is not a fairy tale. Its three imperatives and their power to change lives for the better are realities based on centuries of insight and experience, including almost a century lived by the author. Essays, anecdotes, and comments from others support each imperative convincingly and compellingly.
