Well written and interesting from start to finish was Dr. John Izzo’s latest book,Stepping Up – How Taking Responsibility Changes Everything . Sprinkled with stories, idea and backed by solid research this book may just convince you that you want to step up for change. I was fortunate enough to not only enjoy Dr. Izzo’s book but to interview him on CJOB for our Your Life, Unlimited radio show.

You can listen to the podcast below and I have also pulled out a few highlights out of the book that I thought you might enjoy.
