Mike C. Adams doesn't waste the reader's time in this very useful little book on reversing negative thinking with positive thinking. Filled with photographs that enhance his tips, he starts out after a brief introduction on the importance of getting rid of negative thinking and replacing it with positive thinking with tips, each succinct but well defined. This is easy to follow on first reading, but the more important aspect of this book is its use as a handy reference guide to bolster your game plan toward being a positive and happy person.Some of his tips include be around positive people, turn around negative thoughts into positive ones (eg. Not `I can't or I never' but `I can and I always'), don't be too serious - take time to laugh, write out your daily goals, do volunteer work, embrace the kind acts, don't be a victim, disappointments and difficulties are a normal part of life, offer to help someone, avoid `downer' situations, dress/act/be positive, give yourself pep talks, be quick to offer compliments, allow yourself to dream, laugh, don't compare yourself to other people - thirty tips in all.This very handsome young author has written many book along the concept of this one - books about worrying, procrastinating, anxiety management, dealing with low self esteem, decluttering your life, setting goals, tips on public speaking, dealing with difficult people - and it seems as though he is everyman's neighborhood, patient, reality-based therapist. You'll love his books - and him: his personality spills out of the compassionate pages. Grady Harp, December 13
