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.

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!"

‘Of one thing in life we can be sure. The quality of our life in the future will depend on the quality of our thinking.’ Why are we so prone to be negative? And how can we become more positive, both as individuals and as a society? The answer lies in the way we think. The key to positive thinking is developing new concepts, whether this means coming up with a brand new idea or just looking at an existing one in a new light. If we make a deliberate and positive effort to change our thinking we can secure a positive future, and we can harness the focused power of human thinking by releasing it from its pettiness. Edward the Bono is the Nobel Prize nominated father of creative thinking and the master of training the mind to think the right way. He wrote the multi-million copy bestseller Six Thinking Hats and many other revolutionary works on how to think. This classic work was first published in 1979, and since then our belief in the power of positive thinking has only become stronger.

From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.
