Why wait to build the life you’ve always dreamed of? 

Running your life is very much like running a business, and People Tools for Business is filled with practical ideas to help you run your life more effectively and efficiently.

YOU CAN MAKE A CAREER OUT OF BEING HAPPY 

In this sequel to his New York Times Bestseller People Tools (January 2014), Alan C. Fox shares the most important lessons from his successful and distinguished life. The reader can use the tools described in this book to achieve success both in the boardroom and at home. 

WHAT ARE PEOPLE TOOLS?

"People Tools" are practical life skills that are easy to understand. They are free to use and yet they will significantly improve your ability to work well with other people. From developing self-confidence, to making healthier life decisions to being a better manager, each tool provides a straightforward approach to help you get more effective results.

Filled with insightful examples and entertaining anecdotes, People Tools is fun to read but will have long-lasting impact. The stories will charm you; the advice will change your life. 

TAKE CONTROL: YOU ARE THE SOLE PROPRIETOR OF YOUR OWN LIFE.

The time-tested tools outlined in this book are useful shortcuts that you can use to solve everyday problems. You will find the advice applicable not only to business but to all aspects of your personal life as well. 

GET ADVICE FROM THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS

Alan C. Fox has used the People Tools outlined in this book to build a rich and fulfilling life. He has built a commercial real estate company worth more than $1.5 billion, launched a nationally renowned poetry journal, and established a foundation that provides millions in funding to non-profit organizations that work with young people. He has also raised a large and loving family and created a trusted circle of close friends and colleagues.

Let Alan Be Your Personal Mentor

Life and work are full of challenges, but with the practical strategies outlined in this book, Alan will show you how to live the life of your dreams.
