For anyone tired of chasing ever-elusive desires, of doing more only to find that more needs doing, and of making more money only to need more money, best-selling author Chin-Ning Chu shows you that life was meant to be easy, if you know the secrets.

From the best-selling author of The Working Woman's Art of War, comes an important and timely book about the side of success that most don't know about —the power of selective yielding, of surrendering to a successful destiny, and of getting what you want by not wanting it too much.

Using Carl Jung's famous parable of the rainmaker as a framework, Chin-Ning Chu explains universal truths about the nature of effort, success, willpower, detachment, "creating luck," and more. Illustrating the four "secrets of the rainmaker" with rich anecdotes from history, personal experience, and popular culture, Ching-Ning explains how to create success by attaining inner harmony, how to partner effort with ease, how to make peace with time, and how to stop reacting and start restfully controlling the events of your life.

    [ quote ]
    the common complaint of having no time often comes from allowing everyone around you to steal yout time. at work, colleagues stop byyour desk to make small talk, unexpected phone calls occur, visitors drop in.
    everything seems out of control. nothing goes the way it is 'supposed' to. you are doing everything you can, trying to control and fix it. even with all of your intelligence, determination, and strength, you cannot reverse the set course.
    *1st secret - fine-tune your actions
    do less, achieve more, make peace with time, trade what you have for what you want, adopt directed dreaming

    *2nd secret - put your mind at ease
    find wisdom in irritation, surrender reveals your destiny, live to thrive, not just survive, grant yourself grace, transform the four toxic motivators

    *3rd secret - discover the divine power
    stop reacting, start restfully controlling, stay in the present, epilogue - let go

    FINALLY - life is truly meant to be easy.
