About the Book
The world is flooded with information, but starving for wisdom. Many feel a sense of overload, anxiety, and a general state of restlessness. Eastern cultures refer to the monkey mind and respond with yoga and meditation. Western civilization has identified a series of disorders and related prescription drugs. All of this can help, but what is the complete and balanced solution? How do we get grounded, despite all the confusion? How do we build a solid foundation that assures solid, authentic growth? If you look carefully at every authentic achievement, you will see a clear pattern of Me We Do Be. Me We Do Be reveals that all behaviors can be organized within these four cornerstones. Me is quality thinking that builds wisdom, We habits form quality relationships, Do actions build productivity, and Be designs the future. Me We Do Be connects the dots and creates a fresh perspective for moving forward. The Me We Do Be principles are the result of research that has spanned 25 years at the intersection of sociology and economics. Dr. Randall Bell masterfully interweaves classic behavioral research with his own work on high-profile cases--including Chernobyl, the World Trade Center, and O. J. Simpson--to reveal why some dive, some survive, and others thrive. Success can be defined in many ways. Obviously, some people define it as making money. Others see success as leading a great organization, breaking sales records, having a happy family life, finding true love, or winning a competition. Some see it as contributing to a worthy cause, completing a degree, or mastering a musical instrument. Others view success as beating cancer, connecting with the divine, or healing from an emotional wound. There is no one-size-fits-all for success. Me We Do Be lets us define what success means to us individually. But in so doing, it looks at the foundational elements that apply to us all. The power of Me We Do Be is that it cuts through the noise and simply puts the focus on the classic, timeless principles that build authentic success. Indeed, with a solid foundation we can build anything we want. This is the one book that you will want everyone in your family, business, and organization to read!

"A fascinating blend of personal anecdotes from Dr. Bell's vast professional experience interspersed with powerful quotes, insights, and a timeless list of valuable habits designed to improve any life. There are many golden nuggets in here." Robert G. Allen, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Creating Wealth, Nothing Down for the 2000s, Multiple Streams of Income, and co-author of The One Minute Millionaire "From the homeless to the billionaires, Me We Do Be helps us all understand the true meaning of success and how to attain it in our own lives. This book is creative, beautifully written, and based on solid scientific and personal research. Pick up a copy. It's a winner." Donald T. Phillips, Bestselling Author of Lincoln on Leadership "Eye-opening . . . Randall Bell's Me We Do Be is as inspiring as Napoleon Hill's classic Think & Grow Rich." Steve Alten, New York Times Bestselling Author "Our life is made up mostly of our habits. Therefore we'd better choose them mindfully and cultivate them wisely. In this brilliant book Randall Bell picks for us the (demonstrably) most beneficial habits in all domains of life--from inner to social to environmental to financial. I couldn't put the book down." Dr. Piero Ferrucci, Bestselling Author of The Power of Kindness "Me We Do Be shows how the little things we do can have a dramatic impact on our quality of life; it's that one small adjustment that can make the difference between winning and losing. Read, learn, and act on the great information provided in this book." Bob Proctor, Bestselling Author of You Were Born Rich "Dr. Bell, with his fascinating graduate and professional training in both sociology and economics has a unique perspective on the internal and external driving forces that create success or failure in our lives ... and our culture. The opening of his book automatically captured my attention with the promise of drawing links between many of the seminal events that have shaken our nation in recent years and thus offer the potential of providing some answers as to 'Why?' which he does with consummate skill. This is a work we should all take a look at, both in terms of our personal lives and, in a broader sense, the potentially dangerous trajectory our nation is on as well and how to change that course." William R. Forstchen, New York Times Bestselling Author "I thoroughly enjoyed reading this wonderful book because it brought to mind something my father, the late Dr. Stephen R. Covey, would often say: 'Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with enduring principles and values and in no other way.' This book does exactly that." Stephen M. R. Covey, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Speed of Trust and co-author of Smart Trust
