A Better Way to Think: Using Positive Thoughts to Change Your Life
All of us talk to ourselves, carrying on inner dialogues much of
the day. Some of this self-talk frees us, but much of it keeps us
captive to negative patterns that have a corresponding negative
impact on our emotions and actions. But we do not have to remain
prisoners of fear, anxiety, despair, disillusionment, regret, or
stress!
The bestselling author of A Better Way to Think shows
readers how to truly bring every thought captive under Christ,
thereby freeing themselves from the negative patterns of self-talk
that have stymied their personal and spiritual growth for years.
Biblically based and full of practical, proven strategies, this
book helps readers harness the positive and creative power of their
thought lives in order to experience lasting freedom from
negativity.
From the Back Cover
Change your life--one thought at a time.
We all talk to ourselves, and this self-talk can
determine whether we feel happy and successful about the state of
our lives. Too often what we tell ourselves is negative. We point
out where we've failed, focusing on our problems rather than
keeping our thoughts centered on the positive.
Bestselling author and therapist H. Norman Wright shows you how to
free yourself from negative patterns of self-talk that are holding
you back. Biblically based and full of practical, proven
strategies, A Better Way to Think helps you harness the
positive and creative power of your thought life so you can
experience lasting freedom from negativity.

Top Highlights
“Our thoughts determine the orientation of everything we do. They evoke the feelings that frame our world and motivate our actions. And they have the power to change the way we feel.” (source)
“Some research suggests we speak at about 200 words per minute. But we can listen to and process 1,300 words per minute” (source)
“In most cases, we can’t stop specific thoughts from coming to mind. Our task is to manage them once they arrive.” (source)
“The writer of Proverbs 23:7 states succinctly: ‘As he thinks within himself, so he is’ (NASB).” (source)
“Thoughts, positive or negative, grow stronger together when fertilized with constant repetition. That may explain why so many who are gloomy and gray stay in that mood, and why others who are cheery and enthusiastic continue to be so, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Please do not misunderstand. Happiness (like winning) is a matter of right thinking, not intelligence, age or position. Our performance is directly related to the thoughts we deposit in our memory bank. We can only draw on what we deposit.” (source)
