Publisher's summary

In these uncertain times of disruptions, vast technological and collective world changes, knowing how to be open to what is and being flexible is a critical skill. When you approach life with an open stance, you can clearly observe what is present without collapsing from stress or blaming others or yourself. An open stance will allow you to choose actions that will expand possibilities and bring you more vitality and joy.

Openness is contagious. When we model being open, we inspire openness in others, which supports resilience, wellbeing, and thriving for everyone involved.

Ann Van Eron, PhD, shares the case for adopting an open mindset and stance. She explains a process for building mental muscle and shifting from being closed to open. Multiple practices are offered for embodying an open stance.

As an executive and team coach, Ann has spent decades supporting many organizations, including the United Nations, World Bank Group, CVS Health, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and Ford Motor Company. Leaders, managers, coaches, parents, and influencers have all benefited from adopting these open stance practices.

Now it's your turn to learn how to be mindful while interacting at home, work, and in your community to positively influence others.

Review by Subbayamma Nagubadi

Well written and soothing voice and comforting to listen

Open stance is open heart and feels free and expanded
Closed mind is contracting and the body feels tight
What a wonderful TOOL to check ourselves
Thank yo Ann for writing and reading
I am thoroughly enjoying the audiobook

Fantastic Guide To A Positive Mindset!

Engagingly narrated by the author, this book walks you through the process of becoming open and applying it to all aspects of your daily life. Very relatable personal and professional experiences noted throughout the book helped me to examine my own experiences and gave me several “lightbulb” moments. The author masterfully walks you through identifying core issues and provides realistic tools to help you take action to truly shift to a positively open mindset. I highly recommend for ANYONE who wants to have more positive, productive and meaningful interactions personally and/or professionally.

This book is a treasure to have in Audiobook format. I found it wonderful to listen to while getting ready for work as well as winding down on my commute home. I could tell such a difference not only in how I approached my workday but in how I was more mindful and present with my children in the evenings. I will definitely replay different portions of this book when I need a mindset shift!
