Synopsis
This title is about the power of positive thought - and about how negative thinking can wreck lives.Negative thinking is seen as a debilitati ng illness that will slowly kill your spirit - and for some people lead to actual physical disease. Happily though, this is not a doom-filled book at all! The authors show how to: eliminate the negative - spend less time thinking "down" and negative thoughts; accentuate the positive - spend more time focussing on the positive things in your life; and latch on to the affirmative - enjoy each moment! It contains inspirational, funny, and moving quotes. This book was written in part specially for those who have been diagnosed with severe illness. Negative thinking drags you down - whilst a truly positive approach will have a positive effect on your whole self - thus promoting good physical health. This title shows you how to focus on the positive.

Customer Reviews

Amazing and life changing.
I've always been very skeptical about self-help books, but after being recommended this book by someone I respect I thought I'd give it a try.

Its an amazing book which has quite literally transformed my life and the way I think about things. I would recommend it to anyone, even those who are fit, well and completely happy in their lives. I'm sure that it would be of benefit to anyone who reads it and its cheap!!

Buy this book!
I bought this book 13 years or so ago. It was my essential reading for ages. Then I kind of forgot about it. Then I slid further down the spiral for several years. I just picked it up again...it's cheaper & funnier than therapy, no quick fixes, no 'magic bullet' but really good 'dip in' reading. Recommended reading.

Very destructive book
This is a very destructive book - don't read it if you're at all unsure of yourself or at a "low point"!

The first two thirds of the book very accurately describe the bad effects of negative thought. Although this may be useful from an academic point of view, the writing style means that you just end up focusing on these negative thoughts.

The last third tries to repair the damage by attempting to get you to construct an imaginary world in your head where you have all the help and support you need.

Note that the book gives you no help in the real world!

Some of the quotes (from other authors) given at the bottom each page are interesting and thoughful - but, for your health, avoid reading anything actually written by the two authors of this unhealthy trash.
