I used to doubt that thoughts can really influence the outcomes of our actions, change some scenarios in our lives, or even influence others. But over the years, I got more interested in this idea and wanted to learn more. What made me read this book right now is all the Olympic coverage I've been watching and all the multiple discussions of how important it is for the athletes to stay positive before their events, how important it is for the coaches to say just the right words at the last moment before the competition, and how what athletes say to themselves can help them control the way their body responds to the stress of the competition, physically, mentally, and emotionally. This book provides a great overview of the effects of negative and positive thoughts, positive affirmations, on our life and on lives of others around us. The mind has the power to influence the future, and that idea is discussed in this book through various cultures and religions. Very interesting!
