Reach personal greatness:
A true-life story based on two guiding principles

The Dalai Lama, Prince Albert of Monaco and many others have endorsed Angelika’s  adventurer’s quest. This is the brave woman that exemplifies the lessons of this book. A shy, deprived, and withdrawn mountain girl from a village, in the Austrian Alps, that was to become a role model for countless people. Exceptional people, like her, are not born but they are created, therefore a life can be sculpted and cast for greatness.
          Angelika is a hero of modern times -- a mythical explorer, someone a girl brags about to her parents. She smiles a friendly smile, her reassuring glacial blue eyes, which have seen a thousand ranges of unforgiving mountains, deserts, and life circumstances  shows people how to become exceptional. The laurels of God upon her hair resemble the many shiny awards she has earned in triumph. She wants others to succeed as much as she herself has excelled.

The attributes of exceptional people are explored through the why and how they do what they do. Two principles, Gratification and Frustration Systems, have been designed for shaping a grand character, while fifteen essential qualities reveal how the exceptional unfolds in individuals. Profound values are renewed  and used to picture the nobility of moral fiber. Curiosity and creativity are promoted with discovery and exploration. The correct amount of gratification is compared to harmful gratification systems, which are illustrated by Angelika's downfalls but her rituals of love help to understand the consequences of gratification. Five lessons demonstrate how people can receive today what they have not been given in early days. The brain is able to craft new behaviors with peak achievements that are fabricated, with the adversities that are conquered and the forward frustrations that promote discipline.

Exceptional people know how to tolerate frustrations and know how to delay gratifications. Despite instant fulfillment messages of our society, the modern heroes have been trained to endure. Readers learn how to leave their comfort zone, four ways of power thinking, alarm responses, and they will understand why there is no victory without a battle.

The two psychological principles, gratification and frustration provide a step-by-step blueprint, while Angelika’s life-experiences clarify the theory. Angelika’s story draws to an end when her latest years are described with her boundless searches, desires, and visions. Every reader will want to follow with determined enthusiasm, inspiration, and ambition to become exceptional.
