De: Scott Adams

Narrado por: Andrew Baldwin

In Reframe Your Brain, Scott Adams, the contrarian genius behind Dilbert and author of the most influential personal success book of all time—How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big—gives you the complete operating system for lasting happiness.

Are you familiar with this old saying?

“All publicity is good publicity.”

That’s a classic reframe. The quote shifts your thinking from the shame of whatever you did wrong to your probable benefit. You can’t change the past, but you can change how you feel about it.

Trained hypnotist and persuasion expert Scott Adams has packed more than 160 new, counterintuitive, and effective reframes into Reframe Your Brain. For example:

Usual Frame: Manage your time.

Reframe: Manage your energy.

Usual Frame: Success depends on who you know.

Reframe: Success depends on how many people you know.

Usual Frame: Your critics are evil monsters.

Reframe: Your critics are your mascots.

Usual Frame: The universe is acting against you.

Reframe: The universe owes you.

Usual Frame: Luck is random and can’t be managed.

Reframe: You can go where there is more luck (more energy).

These instant perspective-shifters will help you feel better on demand and succeed at any endeavor without the usual pain or pitfalls. The reframe collection covers personal fulfillment, business and career success, mental health, social activities, and physical well-being. If only 10 percent of the reframes work for you, your life will never be the same.

Prepare to embark on a journey of transformation as Scott Adams shares his most invaluable insights and practical techniques to date, empowering you to reprogram your own reality using words alone.

May be best personal success book ever

I almost can’t describe how life changing this book is. So many of the reframes have already started helping me. Instead of convincing me that it will work, the author says that it might work. There are so many reframes and they are so easy that it is inconceivable that they wouldn’t help. “Sugar is poison” has already helped me make better eating decisions.

I love the suggestions on giving feedback to people. “You’ve done stronger work” is a great positive reframe.

I have listened to Scott’s podcasts so for the first few minutes the different voice was distracting. But he has a great narration voice so I actually ended up thinking it was better than the authors.

I listen/read tens of books each year and this tops the list for the past several years. I highly recommend.

Insightful wisdom

I am a skeptic and have read over a hundred self-help books. I approached this book with the attitude of "I'm not expecting much because it's probably a retread of general self-help principles. But I'll give this book a try."
I had no idea how meaningful some of Scott's insights would be to me.
It's very good.

Reframing is updating the software for your brain

Powerful insight into how our brain works in real life and how we can steer it. If you got value out of how to win friends and influence people you will find this book equally influential on life’s adventure.

Simple and powerful

I loved the approach to such important things in life and how to overcome what stops us from achieving our dreams

Catchy title makes you think.

As expected, Mr. Adams scores a grand slam. While I do not agree with all the reframes, he himself reminds us to find the ones that help and use those to better ourselves and our lives. Highly recommended.

Much wisdom in a small pckage

Most reframes are easy to remember and apply to your own mental approach to a lot of different scenarios, which change your experiences in a good way

Only an hour in and I've got my money's worth.

I both don't want the book to end, and can't wait to finish to hear all the reframes.

Excellent

One sentence of the book propelled me to make a decision that is changing my life

Getting to know Scott Adam’s

His take on hypnotism and how we “think” is insightful, as is his treatment of persuading others.

Good listen. Goes well with Choice Points.

Overall quite good. Thought provoking. Nice summary in the last chapter. I am using the things that work for me.
