The People Factor is his solution, based on the most effective, trustworthy relationship book of all time: the Bible.

One question lies behind every struggle we face: How do I deal with myself? Behind all our stumbles, behind each of our missteps, behind every one of our failings lies an inability to handle what Van Moody calls the "I-Factor".
