Useful Belief: Because Its Better Than Positive Thinking

Useful Belief is a game changer for motivation and performance. For years, people have been told to try and be ′positive′, but the reality is that when most people try they can′t sustain it and end up feeling worse than when they started out.

This book is about having belief systems that support you, and asking questions of yourself such as, ′What is the most useful thing to believe about this situation?′ and ′What is the most useful thing that I could do today to get me closer to where I want to be?′

This book will challenge you to:

decide what belief system you want to live by change your approach to various situations, clients and teams apply a new framework to help improve the focus of your time and energy feel empowered and motivated with changes you can implement right away.

What if this was the book that shifted your approach and made you better?
