Customer Reviews

Clear, Simple and effective
I have read a few self help/ self concept books. This one is simple but very effective in getting your habits or belief systems sorted. Recommend!!

What to Say when you talk to yourself
I had read quite a few positive thinking books now.

I was interested to see the writer ask Why do we need more positive thinking books to be written if the ones which already exist are so good?(or words to that effect) so I had to read on.

I felt that the best parts of this book were "Levels of Self Talk" which teaches you the different types of thinking and communicating that you have with yourself and more importantly the "Self Management System".

The book has taught me why positive thinking and talking can dramatically impact on your life. It is a concept I never really understood and most positive thinking books encourage us to think and speak in a positive manner, tell you the effects but dont actually tell you why you should and how your mind works.

Trying to stay positve....... I felt that the book was worth buying for the 2 chapters I have mentioned alone. I felt that in some of the other chapters there were some personal views, which may or may not gain acceptance from some of the leading professionals. I felt also that, in the other chapters there was a lot of padding out.

I would definitely reccomend this book. I am going to see what else this writer has written and will go on to buy some more!.

It Worked For Me
I talked myself out of buying this book. From a quick glance through the pages in a bookstore, I, like other reviewers, could see that there is basically one idea s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out over many pages.
