In primitive times a person’s existence was dependent entirely on one’s ability to survive in the face of indeterminate odds. Ironically, those ‘laws of the jungle’ exist even today on modern human society – and while we may not be dealing with life and death situations around every corner we are dealing with sufficiently life altering critical ‘win or lose’ based constructs. The only problem with this thought process however is that when you are living a life where you think in terms of ‘win or lose’ what you are actually doing is turning your usually colorful life and turning it into a black and white Audrey Hepburn movie. You miss out on all the nuances of living life and get sucked into a repetitive thought pattern where all you can think of is what you missed out on. In short, you forget to see the positives in life because you are so fixated on the negatives. 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.
