Change Your World in 71 Days by Tom Connellan

This book has a few good tips, such as how to find the basic cause of your problem and how to improve by 1% at a time.

However, it is written in the form of a collection of stories about fictional characters, and it's also a 'book within a book'. This annoyed me, because I really wanted the usual type of self-help book, and I felt that I had to read a lot to find the useful suggestions.  I will consider trying Connellan's other books, because they might be more helpful.
