You Are What You Think
"Attitude is everything." It's what makes the difference between
those who succeed and those who fail. And it's easy to see-in other
people. It's not as easy to recognize when our own attitude needs
adjustment, or to know how to change it.
In You Are What You Think, David Stoop shows readers how to use
self-talk to make positive changes in their attitudes and beliefs.
Self-talk can be private speech, thoughts, or external speech, all
of which shape emotions and behavior for good or bad. This popular
book, previously published as Self-Talk, will help readers overcome
stress, guilt, depression, anxiety, and anger; release the power of
faith; choose healthy, positive thoughts; and more.
From the Back Cover
Attitude is everything.
Attitude is what makes the difference between those who succeed and
those who fail. And it's easy to see-in other people. But it's not
always easy to recognize when our own attitude needs adjustment, or
to know how to change it.
In You Are What You Think, David Stoop shows you how to use
self-talk to make positive changes in your attitudes and beliefs.
Self-talk can be private speech, thoughts, or external speech, all
of which shapes emotions and behavior for good or bad. This
popular, revolutionary book will help you:
* choose healthy, positive thoughts
* respond rather than react to circumstances
* overcome guilt, anger, anxiety, and stress
* release the power of faith
* and more
You can use self-talk to gain control of the way you feel and act.
You can turn out-of-control into self-control and make your
emotions work for you rather than against you. You Are What You
Think tells you how.
Top Highlights
“Psychologists have traditionally agreed that we all experience three basic emotions: love, anger, and fear. We can liken these to the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. Every color, shade, and hue we see is one of these three primary colors or some combination of them. In the same way, every feeling we experience in life is one of the primary emotions or, more likely, some combination of them.” (source)
“Here’s the key! Jeremiah continually thinks of his misery. No wonder he’s depressed. It’s not all the awful events in his life that are causing his grief; it’s his choice of thoughts about these events, his Self-Talk, that determines what he is feeling.” (source)
“The one thing, from a human perspective, that seems to make the difference between those who succeed and those who fail is attitude. No matter who you are, attitude really is everything—it’s what makes the difference in every aspect of life.” (source)
“Self-Talk is a powerful force that is already at work within our lives. We need only to learn how to use this force for positive change.” (source)
“It is Self-Talk that explains why someone can experience inner rest and peace in the midst of the most wrenching experiences of life.” (source)
