Description

Motivational speaker and professional coach Mike Robbins sets out for well-worn territory, turning out a useful exploration of the power of positive thinking and the art of appreciation. Like self-help titles such as The Secret, Robbins insists that like attracts like, and to get what we want in life we must focus on what we want (rather than what we don’t). In this never preachy three-part primer, Robbins explains how the simple act of appreciation can change our lives. -In part one, Robbins analyzes the effects of living in a culture of negativity and fear, which keeps individuals from connecting with others, and from seeing the good in both people and life. -Part two elucidates his Five Principles of Appreciation (“be grateful,” “use positive words,” etc.) and -Part three is about putting the principles into action (“it’s not what we know, but what we do that matters”); exercises and “positive practices” throughout give readers further steps to put appreciation’s power to work in daily life.more at: http://tinyurl.com/ngcqy6 (AMAZON)avg 5 stars — on 27 reviews
