In this episode, Chris Lipp and host Desiree Timmermans talk about Chris's latest book: The Science of Personal Power: How to Build Confidence, Create Success & Obtain Freedom.

"To really understand how to tap into your power is to recognize that power is neither a set of behaviors nor is it a certain personality that some people have and some people don't: Your Power is Within You. And you can tap it with the right mindset, and it's not a mindset of affirmation in these things - of course, those things help - but it's actually at a deeper level. And so personal power is the belief we have in our own capability to create impact." - Chris Lipp.
