Most people by now have heard of the power of positive thinking. And if you're like many people, you're probably rolling your eyes as you read this. But keep reading—you may be surprised by what you see.

In this audiobook, you will not find any magic or secret cures. There are no cures, no overnight formulas, and no words to simply say and snap your fingers to make the world a better place. What you will find is a solid, practical guide to transforming your thoughts, behaviors, and attitude for the better, one step at a time. This audiobook will provide you with guidance as to how to improve your self-talk, kick bad habits, and improve your self-esteem. It will teach you what self-esteem is (and isn't), set you up with simple, beneficial daily exercises to change your life in radical ways, and provide you with practical guidance as to why each and every exercise may be right for you.

You can use this audiobook in two ways—you can use it as a road map, following each chapter as a step-by-step guide toward positivity, success, and overall well-being. Or you can use it like an owner's manual, referring to specific chapters as they become relevant to your unique goals, lifestyle, and circumstances. This audiobook isn't a prescription—it's a tool kit, providing you with everything you need to fight the toxic cognitive patterns that have become all-too-common in our day and age. The power of positive thinking is something that humans have been practicing for centuries, and so much of the advice in this audiobook is just plain-old common sense. But “common” sense can be surprisingly easy to follow, and so this audiobook breaks down every exercise into actionable steps, with a clear overview of what the purpose and benefits of each activity are.

When applicable, this audiobook will also provide you with the latest scientific evidence to demonstrate just how viable positive thinking truly is for mind, body, and brain. No matter who you are, the biggest obstacle standing in the way of your success is you. And if you're tired of getting in your own way, then you've come to the right place.
