The power of a deadline and desperation. And one of the all-time bestselling books on the subject of success the result.

Some attribute it to Aristotle, but whether the great Greek philosopher said it or not doesn't affect its timeless truth. "If you want to avoid criticism, all you have to do is say nothing, do nothing and be nothing." If on the other hand, you decide your life is purposed for something worthy and being on the playing field is preferred to sitting in the stands, there is something you are sure to encounter; what Jeff Piersall and Eric Wright call "barking dogs." <p> <i>Dogs Don't Bark at Parked Cars</i> illustrates this encounter as the voices that find fault, who don't think it's possible, who are unable to see a future alive with opportunities waiting to be seized. They are the ones governed by fear instead of faith. Unfortunately, many times the loudest of these barking dogs are kenneled right in most people's own heads. For Jeff and Eric, that priceless quality is wisdom. It goes beyond knowledge or aptitude and transcends this era of cultural and technological hyper-change, with principles that are timeless.</p>
