Power Leveraging is a set of principles for living designed to enhance personal power in your most important life areas. Authored by empowerment expert Douglas Frans, PhD, the domains of personal empowerment have been conceptualized and investigated through research and outcome studies conducted by Dr. Frans for over 15 years. The foundation for empowerment practice was laid by community organizers and activists working within the social movements of the 1960's and 70's. Their efforts and techniques have been studied and the elements relevant to individual change distilled and incorporated into self-intervention strategies. The material presented here is a culmination of that work and offered for the first time on a wide scale.

Most of us have experienced powerlessness or power deficits at various points throughout our lives. While this is common, many have suffered from a chronic state of disempowerment and a loss of choices and satisfaction due to this condition. The ideas set forth here are designed to address disempowered states by assessing your specific strengths and weaknesses and then helping you design remedies in your own life that work to overcome them. These principles have been developed and employed in clinics and practice settings over a period several years by Dr. Frans and his colleagues. Recipients of this assessment and treatment approach have changed their lives in sometimes dramatic fashion. Utilizing the model of Power Leveraging, you will have the tools to Reinvent Your Life in the following ways:

• Empower Your Career and Professional Life
• Invigorate Your Relationships with the Power of Attraction
• Defeat the Stress Connection
• Become a decisive player in your own life
• Begin by taking the Empowerment IQ Test
