This book, "Positive Thinking: Change your Attitude, Change Your Life" will do just what the title says, it will change your life. This is not your run of the mill power of positive thinking book. It not only tells you about the power of positive thinking and how to utilize this to change your life, but it also explains HOW this works, how your mind works and why negative thinking can and will bring about negative consequences. The author draws upon real life circumstances and analogies to bring the information contained within this book to life, explaining in detail not only how or thinking can keep us from succeeding, but tells us why it works the way it works and how we can combat it to help us succeed in meeting our goals and being the person we were truly meant to be. He does this in a no-nonsense straight forward manner, encouraging us to be the best we can be by silencing those thoughts that tend to put us in this negative cycle. In this book you will learn about: How your mind works to realize your commands How to train your mind to think in positive patterns How to focus on the present and realize the only time is now How to quiet the inner voice of negativity How to overcome those outer voices of negativity How to get past your past How to focus on the present in order to meet your future goals and a whole host of other information to help us understand ourselves, our minds and our potential for being the best we can possibly be. I have personally read many self-help books that promise to bring the power of positive thinking to reality but have often ended up disappointed and disillusioned with the feeling that there was something I was missing, or maybe it was all just some sort of joke or hoax. This book actually helped me to realize what it was I was missing, where many of those books left me still spiraling out of control, trying to use "positive affirmations" but still failing, this book explained in detail the steps I need to take and helped me to really understand how positive thinking works. One chapter, titled "The Power of Negative Thinking" really brought it all into focus and showed me why, previously I was unable to use positive thinking as I was already bogged down with so many negative thoughts. This book also helps you in becoming aware of your "self" to recognize how you might react to situations, then recognize the "voice" that guides you in your reaction and finally using positive affirmations to release the negative. By the time you are finished reading this book you will find yourself much more informed and equipped to do battle with negativity then you ever realized was possible. The reading is easy and informative with man illustrations and examples so that you can get a great grasp of the subject matter, regardless of your level of comprehension. I read this book to my 9 year old, just to see if he would "get it" and he actually understood the concepts just as well as I did once I finished reading it to him and immediately started putting the concepts into practice. This is the best self-help, positive thinking book I have ever read, which is why I took the time to write this description, as a reader who has been looking for something like this for a long time. I think you will agree that this book will definitely change your attitude and change your mind and will set you on a road to success through Positive Thinking. Give it a read, and let me know what you think in the comments below. I just want to say, if this doesn't help you to see the potential within your own mind, nothing will. Good reading!"

"Vaulted me out of my funk.... So, fellow moderate pessimists, go buy this book." —The New York Times Book Review Offering many simple techniques anyone can practice, Dr. Seligman explains how to break an “I–give–up” habit, develop a more constructive explanatory style for interpreting your behavior, and experience the benefits of a more positive interior dialogue.

The tenth-anniversary edition of the book that changed lives in profound ways, now with a new foreword and afterword. In 2006, a groundbreaking feature-length film revealed the great mystery of the universe—The Secret—and, later that year, Rhonda Byrne followed with a book that became a worldwide bestseller. Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it. In this book, you’ll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life—money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You’ll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that’s within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life. The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers—men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.

It's the reason why spending time on Facebook makes us feel sad and lonely. Why expensive name-brand medicines provide better pain relief than the generic stuff, even if they share the same ingredients. And why a hospital room with a good view speeds up recovery from surgery. The truth is, the way we think about ourselves and the world around us dramatically impacts our happiness, health, how fast or slow we age, and even how long we live. In fact, people with a positive mindset about aging live on average 7.5 years longer than those without. That might sound alarming to those of us who struggle to see the bright side, but the good news is we can make surprisingly simple changes or small shifts to how we think, feel, and act that will really pay off. In The Positive Shift: Mastering Mindset to Improve Happiness, Health, and Longevity, Dr. Catherine Sanderson breaks down the science of thought and shows how our mindset—or thought pattern—exerts a substantial influence on our psychological and physical health. Most important, this book demonstrates how, no matter what our natural tendency, with practice we can make minor tweaks in our mindset that will improve the quality—and longevity—of our life. Combining cutting-edge research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and medicine, as well as vivid real-world examples of the power of mindset, The Positive Shift gives readers practical and easy strategies for changing maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors so they can live longer, happier lives. These behaviors include: • Appreciating nature, with actions as simple as eating lunch outside • Giving to others, like volunteering • Spending money on experiences, not possessions Living your best life is truly mind over matter. Believe in yourself and rethink your way to a happier reality.
