During the past week two friends mentioned to me on separate occasions that one of their favorite chapters in my original People Tools book (still selling well on Amazon) is “The 80% Solution.”

Quotes by Alan C. Fox (?)

“I reserve my emotional energy exclusively for people. Things can be fixed. Things can be replaced. People cannot.”
― Alan C. Fox, People Tools: 54 Strategies for Building Relationships, Creating Joy, and Embracing Prosperity

“To me life is a succession of experiences. Our task is to make those experiences as pleasant for ourselves as we can. Those experiences are what they are. Our reaction to those experiences is subjective, and largely within our control. The water in your glass is fixed. The size of your glass is entirely up to you.”
― Alan C. Fox, People Tools: 54 Strategies for Building Relationships, Creating Joy, and Embracing Prosperity
