Simple Steps: Ten Things You Can Do to Create an Exceptional Life is a joyful, down-to-earth guide to living the life you want, with abundance and less stress. Through his own inspiring stories and those of others, Dr. Caliandro shares his powerful, upbeat message -- that by doing just one or two simple but significant things a day, you can improve your life and the lives of others. Spiritual, nondenominational, and practical, Simple Steps outlines 10 things you can do now to start changing your life. Dr. Caliandro shows us that words like "forgiveness," "discipline," "responsibility," and "leadership" can be shaped into living, breathing parts of ourselves. And that by practicing what these words really mean, we can transform our lives into extraordinary ones.

Here you will meet some "ordinary" people -- made extraordinary by having taken simple steps: The toll taker who transforms thousands of lives a day; the Holocaust survivor, who made the decision to be happy after she lost everyone she loved; the 105-year-old congregant who shared the inspiring "secret" to her longevity; and Dr. Caliandro himself, who describes with remarkable frankness his life-threatening illness and his courageous determination to become well. In this complex world, it's comforting to know that simple things can make a difference.
