The basic idea is to demonstrate how your thoughts, attitude <\/span>and<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> beliefs create your experience in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Several of the books in Level One <\/span>were<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> written more than 50 years ago by American authors based on their personal experience. While we believe that the core principles they teach are universal, we also recognize that their reference point and examples are often culturally based on their own social, cultural and religious experience in the USA in the first half of the 20th century. For this reason, we both invite and encourage you to overlook the cultural or religious bias of an author and focus on the core concept he is teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our curriculum is a constant work in progress. Since our inception we have modified the curriculum to a large degree, removing some books and adding others, in an effort to be more global while remaining faithful to our purpose. This is an ongoing effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To this end, we invite your help. As you read these books, you may bring to mind books which teach the same principles but are authored by individuals from your own cultural background. If so, please recommend these to us. We are constantly adding to our curriculum for Level 4 and up as well as reviewing the suitability of our books for Levels One and Two. While many authors find their personal religious faith to be a primary source of inspiration and motivation, we prefer to avoid books and authors who narrowly focus only on their own religious perspective. We prefer authors who have a global perspective which speaks to all people, regardless of their parochial perspective.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is our full intent to make our curriculum truly global while maintaining our commitment to teaching what we consider to be the core principles of success, personal empowerment <\/span>and<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> transformation. We can only do this with your help.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Book Assessment Format The intent of the assessment is to provide us with an understanding of what you have gained from this book and it&#8217;s value to you and your life.
