Lauren Speeth

Are you yearning for the Amazing Life you were born to live? Do you desire to find your own best, true way forward? Are you ready to learn the guideposts that lead to a remarkable lifeand follow them with fierce integrity?

"Taking the Stairs and Liking It" will infuse you with wisdom and guidance and put you on your most rewarding and inspiring journey. The counsel laid out within these pages has its lineage from a serendipitous interview with President Jimmy Carter back in 2005. The former President's words to Speeth on that fateful day changed the course of her life from that moment on. Speeth delved deeply into what President Carter had shared with her, developing a methodology based on his offerings. Having put these ideas to the test, she traveled the world teaching them. All the while, Speeth was putting Carter's fundamental precepts into practice in her personal life without realizing it. The revelations experienced from doing so gave rise to this book.

Within these pages, Speeth will show you how to look beyond perceived limitations and find the belief that you can achieve your dreams, regardless of the present obstacles. With these "Seven Steps to An Amazing Life," the author provides a pathway for making a positive impact on the world while leading a richer, more joyous and fulfilling life.
