The key to overcoming this kind of self-defeating behavior is to change the way we think.

The Power of Positive Thinking in Business provides a practical way for each of us to develop and actually strengthen the ten traits of a positive thinker. When we learn how to overcome negative internal barriers such as fear, lack of self-confidence, and low self-esteem, we develop the traits that characterize a positive

If The Power Of Positive Thinking had to have an additional book to go with it, this would be it. This workbook style mindset coaching book is incredible especially for business owners. As an entrepreneur I know how difficult it can be to keep your cool and have a positive mindset, this book tells you how to achieve a positive mindset in your business but also how that will directly influence your business. Incredible read and suggest it to all business owners! Also, it is a very short book.

This book is the perfect book for someone who has or wants to own their own business. This book explains that if you want something in life you have to put in a large amount of effort. Do whatever you can do to help with your process to success as long as what you do is and will always be posotive.

En favorit. Svenska titeln är "Tänk positivt på jobbet". Lyckas med att prata om positivt tänkande och få läsaren att verkligen förstå vikten av att vara en optimist samtidigt som det är lättsamt att läsa. Skiljer sig därmed från liknande böcker som antingen blir för "klämkäcka" eller för psykologisk skrivna.

The book felt unpolished, unresreached and poorly written. I also don't think the topic is on point to anyone in a position of assistant manager at a fast food restaurant.
I could go on but this book has taken up enough time already ....

It's about a 3.5 however I haven't read the power of positive thinking which is what this book is based on so I may have found it redundant otherwise.
