"Make the Right Choice is more than a book. It's a behavioral Bible for living life on purpose, on your terms, making every moment matter. Using amazing illustrations, inspirational stories, hilarious anecdotes and insightful observations, my friend and colleague Joel 'tells it like it is!' Joel doesn't just teach what he knows. He teaches who he is, how he lives, what he's done! In a society bombarding us with hundreds of options on how and why we decide to show up for our families, for our co-workers and friends, Joel blatantly says: 'Make the Right Choice-Say the Right Thing-Do the Right Thing-Simply because It's the Right Thing to Say and Do!' This book changed the way I live, communicate and make a difference in the world!"
