Easy-reading thoughts to ponder in an eye-catching design.

Kirkus Reviews

Learn the secrets behind becoming a better human. One thing that’s not a secret? Doing so is a full-time job. It takes discipline to become a better human in your own life. Better Human is not just a book; it’s a branded movement to help you excel at everything you do in life.

Whether you’re an executive, employee, stay-at-home mom or entrepreneur, Better Human gives you the knowledge and direction to adjust the very fabric of your life. Ronda Conger practices what she preaches by leading, inspiring and sharing what she has learned with others. Her book and the Better Human movement will show you the way.

In her energetic self-help debut, Conger offers familiar ideas for personal improvement and success.

Splashed with bold color designs and action photographs of people like a woman with outstretched arms in a field of bright yellow flowers Conger s exuberant pep talk feels like a warm and fuzzy motivational poster. Many of the colorful pictures include inspirational quotes, such as these attributed to Estee Lauder: I never dreamed about success. I worked for it. Indeed, hard work and grit are the cornerstones of Conger s message, one often tinged with humor. A photo of a pretty young woman asleep in bed is accompanied by the message, GET THE F*@% OUT OF BED. Conger also jokingly compares the Broadway musical "Annie" to her own hard knock life. When Conger was 3, her mother died, and she had a turbulent adolescence. But she didn t let hardship stop her from reaching her goals. This slim, easy-to-flip volume offers familiar concepts for self-improvement, such as becoming a more loving person (the author suggests smiling at cashiers) and learning gratitude. Conger s upbeat kaleidoscope of advice isn t a step-by-step guide, but it does have some usable ideas. For example, to cultivate a grateful heart, Conger suggests sending 10 thank-you cards to people and keeping a gratitude journal. Likewise, she recommends Dr. B.J. Fogg s Tiny Habits (and reading for four minutes a day) to foster positive life habits. The author s voice is friendly, and she sometimes addresses readers directly when making a point: e.g., Are you ready for it? She also offers book recommendations, like "Smile and Move" by Sam Parker, and thought-provoking items, such as the How Not To Be Thankful poster by Mark Russell available on her website. Readers looking for in-depth discussion might not be sated, but those without a lot of reading time can find inspiration in Conger s quick, cheerful words.
