iUniverse Would Like to Announce the Release of Survive or Thrive by Stepp Stevens Sydnor

Bloomington, IN, September 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- New Motivational Book Provides a Straightforward Guide to Living Life to the Fullest after Hardships, Not Merely Surviving Another Day.

As the old saying goes, change is the only constant. To Stepp Stevens Sydnor, some people choose to deal with negative change as a survivor: doing just what’s needed to make it through one more day. Others thrive, embracing hardship as a lesson for the future. In his new book, Survive or Thrive? Creating the Life You Want Out of the Life You Have, written with Suzi Streit, he offers a guide for everyone who wants to be among those who press on with confidence.

Survive or Thrive? Creating the Life You Want Out of the Life You Have is both a compilation of real stories from people who have faced the unbelievable and chose to either wallow in their despair or dust themselves off, as well as a pragmatic, useful tool to become what Sydnor calls a “thriver.”

“Overcome the tendency to stay linked to your troubles, and stop feeling like you’re still fighting for your life long after the actual threat has passed. Release the survival mentality and embrace the opportunity to use your hardships to heal, grow, and help others learn from your experience. In this book, you will learn the essential steps for doing more than just surviving in this life and discover how to rethink situations in order to create a better life,” the author writes.

In chapters such as “No One Said Life is Fair” and “Self-Preservation versus Self-Growth,” Sydnor offers a frank, open discussion of the difference between surviving and thriving. He stresses the traits needed to transition from getting by to living fully. In a series of three chapters entitled “Victim versus Warrior,” “Parasite versus Player” and “Actor versus Director,” Survive or Thrive? details the characteristics of those who nurture their strengths, pick themselves up and take the reigns of their own lives for good.

Whether readers are high school students who have been turned down from the college of their choice, or CEOs who have been forced to close the doors on a business they built themselves, Survive or Thrive? Creating the Life You Want Out of the Life You Have is a thought-provoking, straightforward guide to pulling out of a downward spiral and taking control.
