From pop music to political speeches to commercials, the general message is the same: look on the bright side, be optimistic in the face of adversity, and focus on your dreams. And whether we're trying to motivate ourselves to lose weight, snag a promotion at work, or run a marathon, we're told time and time again that focusing on fulfilling our wishes will make them come true. Gabriele Oettingen draws on more than 20 years of research in the science of human motivation to reveal why the conventional wisdom falls short. The obstacles that we think prevent us from realizing our deepest wishes can actually lead to their fulfillment.
Based on her groundbreaking research and large-scale scientific studies, Oettingen introduces a new way to visualize the future, called mental contrasting. It combines focusing on our dreams with visualizing the obstacles that stand in our way. In Rethinking Positive Thinking, Oettingen applies mental contrasting to three key areas of personal change - becoming healthier, nurturing personal and professional relationships, and performing better at work. She introduces readers to the key phases of mental contrasting using a proven four-step process called WOOP - Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan - and offers advice and exercises on how to best apply this method to daily life. Through mental contrasting, people in Oettingen's studies have become significantly more motivated to quit smoking, lose weight, get better grades, sustain fulfilling relationships, and negotiate more effectively in business situations. Whether you are unhappy and struggling with serious problems or you just want to improve, discover, and explore new opportunities, this book will deepen your ideas about human motivation and help you boldly chart a new path ahead.

Would you consider the audio edition of Rethinking Positive Thinking to be better than the print version?
The narrator's voice made me feel like I'm listening to a corporate training video about safety, bringing back my zoning out, falling asleep, boredom experience, just waiting for it to be over.I'm better off reading this book.
The narrator is terrible for this book.

Prof Oettingen provides a rational explanation and numerous examples for why positive thinking alone does not work. That is, our sub- conscious mind does not prompt us to take action because it believes we have already attain the goal. She also provides numerous examples of where her method of mental contrasting and implementation intentions (WOOP) did work to help her subjects achieve their goals and why it works.
Most importantly, Prof Oettingen outlines in simply steps and layman’s terms how anyone can integrate WOOP Into their daily routine to help them achieve goals that may be hard, but otherwise feasible and attainable. The steps she outlined in the book are simply to implement. But I found it even easier to implement the steps after I downloaded and started using the free WOOP app.
The best books on personal motivation that I’ve read or listen to.
