It seems we're all growing more negative. Bad news on the TV and in the papers makes us all feel fed up and we find it easier to talk about what's wrong instead of looking for what's good. But imagine knowing a simple trick that you could use to help you feel better about everything. No matter how bad, how upsetting, how annoying or how frustrating the situation, wouldn't

Reading the back page you will think the book is just another one of those self-help "you can do anything" books, but luckily I ignored my knee-jerk reaction to drop the book.
The whole book is about one technique and that is "re-framing". The book could probably have been less pages, but knowing what the technique is, doesn't automatically leads to a successful application of it. Each chapter goes through examples of how to use it across various challenges in your life: work, friends, family, w ...more

How to get the best out of everything is life changing. If you're stuck in a rut or just want to kickstart and propel yourself forward read this book.
I've benefitted from reading this book by making key notes to refer back to but would definitely consider getting myself a copy given the range of helpful, supportive and inspirational tips and phrases it contains.

Whilst I found nothing particularly groundbreaking within the book, it did contain some interesting and thought provoking ideas. There are also some useful exercises again to get you thinking a little more outside the box.
It's a quick read and a very positive message throughout, just don't expect it to change your life. ...more

A mood changer :)
I believe it is actually great to read books that tells you some good suggestion on your way of thinking your life, work, goals and etc. If you have read a lot it does maybe not actually gets you a new kind of knowledge. But I believe reminders are often better to "first learning" The good thing about Flip it is that it tells the truths focus on goals, task list and working with thoughts. At last it is short and does not take you long to read/remind you. just tell it as it is and Remind you as y

I get it, I should not be asking 'why on earth did I buy this, but How on earth did I buy it. Well I wanted to try out Itunes audiobooks compared to audible. So now instead of thinking why is it so condescending, I'm thinking How come it sounds so condescending.....

I like Michael Heppell's works, they're consistently positive and constructive and, if you give them a chance, a great way of growing. It's not magical thinking, or particularly difficult thinking, but truthfully even though we are all capable of doing this stuff, we don't. Sometimes you need that buddy to push you on, lift you up and call you on your bad habits. If you've got that buddy around then good for you. If not, Heppell's books do the job.

3.5 stars.
Flip it is one of the more appealing productivity / personal outlook books I've read. Encouraging his readers to challenge their way of thinking, Heppell tackles a range of areas in which we can improve our experience of life through slight shifts in our attitude. Essentially it's a guide to positive thinking. There are summaries, tips and exercises - personally I would have liked more of the tips and less of the 'fill out this worksheet', but that's just my own style of learning and I ...more

A concise read with practicable examples on how to flip things. Not your typical "look on the bright side" kind of book, but the ideas here have their uses.

my man really said ‘cellulite?! ew gross women don’t have that!’ and then fat shamed men.
his message was just ‘think positively’ without telling the reader HOW to do that

This is such a wonderful little book. If this book was a bag of crisps, they would be chocolate coated, in a bed of liquorice ice cream with sprinkles.
Every single page is filled with lovely things you can do in order to make your life and that of those around you into a multiverse of goodness and success and stuff like that.
The language used is simple and easy to interact with - rather like it is programmed to behave like your favourite film star (or starlet), you know, the one you would stalk ...more

Surprisingly inspirational - it certainly got ideas flowing for me (17 notebook pages so far on a business idea I'm working on). The 'flip it' concept isn't especially new and it builds on many well-worn positive thinking models, but it's nicely done here and it certainly got me thinking. The core idea gets a bit lost sometimes too, becoming a more generalised positive thinking tome. I found the chapter on relationships a little patronising - that's probably just me. For the most part, though th

this book tells you how to change your out look in life (quality). it begins with attitude, instead of asking why, the book suggests to ask how? the book also says that quality of life comes from what you eat and activity levels, it claims this is done on an 80:20 rotio. 80 percent of what you eat is down to your weight and the remainder is down to exercise (20 percent). tells you how to be a better lover/ friend.
In this book the author offers his approach for thinking and taking actions that lead to higher levels of happiness, confidence, creativity and success. He calls this approach "Flip It".
A good light reading material. But it does not have an USP which can clearly differentiate it from other self-help books in the market.

Flip It is simplistic yet powerful. It's basically being positive as opposed to negative. Instead of focusing on the problem. Flip It! I love the term.

Flip It; or, in other words, every cloud has a silver lining.
That's the overriding message of this book, with short chapters covering most aspects of life.
A good book to dip into, nothing too deep. ...more

Excellent - some very interesting ideas.
It is good food for thought. Turing your attitude around and/or your habit around. I have found it useful to go back and re-read chapters. This I rarely do with any book.
Inspiring read
Couldn't think of a way to improve it. Does what it says and challenges you to shift perspectives.
Practical tips rather than just the philosophical.

A great book full of ideas. Some of them you will know already. The one that made me laugh the most: "Do you eat everything you see? No? Then don't believe everything you hear."

This was a great read for January when we all need a motivational boost. Lots of ideas and ways to see things differently. Easy to read and well set out.
The author advices about flip thinking. A new way of looking into your problem. neatly written.
Second time around and I'm not so impressed.
I've changed and the world's changed.
Parts of this are very ableist. ...more
