"Beyond Belief" is a self-help book that doesn't target your waking, conscious thoughts as so many books do, but your subconscious mind as the place where the author says real change (positive or negative, depending on your thought patterns and habits) is generated. But how do you get to the subconscious mind, when you don't even know what it's thinking?The book begins by exploring the importance of clarity (what you want), a clear focus on getting it, and remaining attached to that goal. Then, the text delves a little deeper into what the subconscious mind is; I particularly found interesting the parts about placebos and nocebos, as well as using Neuro-Linguistic Programming to reform your subconscious mind into a tool that works for you.As a reader who tries to think positively as a way to enjoy and better life, I liked the deep-dive approach of this book and its treatment of something I had never even thought about, the subconscious mind. I also liked its common sense approach of "getting out of your own way" to achieving change, as well as using tools like creativity, intuition, and gratitude. I would recommend this to readers who are looking to make changes for within; the time commitment seems small but the messages are very positive.
