Buku ini adalah kumpulan tulisan motivasi pengembangan diri yang dibuat penulis ketika menyusuri lorong-lorong gelap kehidupannya sen “Inspiring, both the process and outcome!” -- Sitta Karina you are LIKEable. attractiveness comes from within Jed @revolutia Foreword by @pandji Pragiwaksono “Buku ini adalah refleksi perjalanan batin penulis dari masa remaja sebagai victims sampai masa dewasa sebagai victors. Sebagai victims, ia mengalami semua karakteristik victims: denial, blaming dan excuses. Penulis adalah sebuah contoh kemenangan victims yang berhasil menjadi victors (ownership, responsibility, accountability). Para pembaca diajak menyelami perjalanan kemenangan tersebut, dan belajar dari setiap langkahnya. Saya pribadi mendapat banyak insight yang berguna dalam menjalani peran sebagai ibu. Cinta saja tidak cukup, dibutuhkan pengetahuan dalam membimbing diri, keluarga dan lingkungan untuk menjadi “The Real Victor”, pemenang yang sesungguhnya. CARPE DIEM!” Indira Abidin - @IndiraAbidin Communication and Public Relation Expert Managing Director of Fortune PR “Menarik karena berangkat dari pengalaman pribadi penulis, sehingga banyak orang akan mudah ‘nyambung’ dengan apa yang digambarkan penulis dengan detail dan intensitas emosi yang tinggi, apalagi perjalanan pribadi itupun digambarkan belum selesai oleh penulis. Perlu, untuk siapapun yang sedang mempelajari dirinya sendiri dan ingin lepas dari jebakan-jebakan psikologis yang selama ini menghambat langkah majunya.” Alissa Wahid - @AlissaWahid Psikolog Keluarga Pemilik Fastrack Funschool Jogjakarta, sebuah pusat pendidikan anak usia dini “Inspiring, both the process and outcome! Yang bikin lebih menarik lagi, Paris Hilton turut berperan dalan perjalanan titik balik si penulis.” Sitta Karina - @SittaKarina sittakarina.com Novelis dan kontributor majalah CosmoGIRL! Indonesia “Dalam buku ini, penulis tidak hanya sedang menceritakan sebuah kisah klise yang sering kita dengar, tetapi ia telah melalui perjalanannya sendiri, ia juga telah mengambil pelajaran dari yang dialaminya, dan memenangkan pergumulan hidupnya, yang lebih menyenangkan adalah dia dengan rendah hati telah membagikannya untuk kita semua melalui buku ini. Saya sangat yakin buku ini dapat merubah setiap pembacanya dan membentuk satu cara pandang baru tentang kehidupan kita. Kehidupan yang harus dimenangkan!” Brilliant Yotenega - @byotenega byotenega.wordpress.com Founder of nulisbuku.com “Inspiring, both the process and outcome!” -- Sitta Karina you are LIKEable. attractiveness comes from within Jed @revolutia Foreword by @pandji Pragiwaksono You Are LIKEable: attractiveness comes from within Copyright © 2010 Jed Revolutia All rights reserved First edition (ebook & book) Published by Revolutia Books Website: www.revolutia.info All rights reserved.
