I noticed that their company is in Orem, UT, and one of my friends commented: "they must be LDS, who'd want to live in Orem, UT if they weren't!" Having lived in Orem, I understand the sentiment :) I"m half way through the book and am very impressed with the overall premise, as well as the "take-aways", ideas that I can implement into my own life as a leader. In their discussion about attitudes being affected by behaviors, one paragraph sounded like something right out of "Preach My Gospel", in that it wondered whether changing behaviors does change ones attitude, or is it the other way around, or is it a combination of both. I believe that as one changes their attitude, for instance, is "born again", and has a powerful conversion experience, their behaviors will change to conform to their new attitude. But, changing behaviors as one is being taught the gospel will also affect a change in attitude. Are the authors LDS?

The central premise, that leaders can be made and aren't just "born," rings true. I’ve picked up the book again and am enjoying it.

I lost it for a while, and haven't had time recently to read. :( I’m a slacker in reading this book, I’m afraid. I lost it for a while, and haven’t had time recently to read. :(

But I'd like to suggest something. Can you guys create a site like www.dailylit.com but with the Book of Mormon? I think it would be a big hit. Sorry, haven’t read that one.
