OKThis book is full of helpful insights related to the "dark side" or "the shadow" we all have. In the first section of the book Deepok Chopra defines the shadow and places it in psychological/sociological context. In later sections Marianne Williamson and Debbie Ford contribute insights from their points of view. All of the sections have made me stop, think, and make application to my own daily life.
Specifically, Chopra includes a discussion of projection in the first section. He defines it clearly, gives specific examples, and details how one can avoid the pitfalls associated with projection. I found that portion of the book most practical and helpful.
I have not accepted Chopra's point of view, but find insights in each of his books which I can use in my own daily life. The inclusion of Williamson and Ford in this book works well.
Written and read by the authors, this volume is worth consideration.
Shawn Achor provides an overview of positive psychology and offers seven principles of positive psychology which contribute to individual success and personal performance. Over the years, many have sought to promote positive thinking. Prominent among them is Norman Vincent Peale for example. However, scientific research of late has begun to support the views of positive thinking and the benefits that can be derived from nurturing such a point of view. In this book, Shawn Achor aptly presents to the layperson findings in the related field of positive psychology. This is definitely informative . Achor offers strategies that the listener can implement immediately. The section on the “Tetris Effect” was the most helpful to me. It helped me understand where habits come from and how we can get “stuck” in particular ways of doing things and harbor attitudes unconsciously. The book is well written, easy follow, entertaining and informative. It is readily available to the uninitiated as well. The author reads his own work and does an admirable job of it as well.
Carol Dweck suggests that individuals are either of fixed or of growth mindselt. The former views aptitudes and abilities as unchanging and the second as flexible and growing. She provides a check list that will help the reader determine what mindset is dominant. This is perhaps the book that Napolean Hill or the Reverend Dr. Norman Vincent Peal would have written had insights into neuroplasticity and mindset had been available to them.
This is a serious, practical, and thoroughly beneficial read. It is informative, well written, easy to follow and well read by Marguerite Gavin. It is well worth your time if you have an interest.
Hi, I never really write reviews but figured this book deserved one. If you follow he examples in this book, and really pay attention to what he is explaining, this book can really turn your life around like it do mine! This book along with another book called The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom.
Like a said I do not write reviews, but figured these to book can help so many more people if they new about them.
Thanks and enjoy the books :)
