From Publishers Weekly Basing his latest book on the theory that "successful people think differently than unsuccessful people," Maxwell (author of bestselling The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and Running with the Giants) guides readers on the journey of mastering "good thinking" to achieve their personal and professional potential. Maintaining an encouraging tone and a down-to-earth writing style honed from his more than 30 previous titles, Maxwell details the impact and practical value of 11 kinds of thinking, including reflective, shared, creative, unselfish and big-picture. Useful tips, like how to discover your gifts through focused thinking, ways to break down complex issues with strategic thinking, and how to understand the value of examining the worst-case scenario through realistic thinking, characterize the author's surprisingly concrete lessons. The step-by-step format is bolstered by inspirational quotes, personal insights and high-profile anecdotal evidence about the likes of Priscilla Presley, George Lucas and George Washington Carver. Ending each chapter, emphasizing the discipline needed to think your way to the top, are exercises designed to evaluate and increase your personal progress in each area.

From AudioFile With its marvelous title, this audio is an excellent lesson on how we can receive more and give more in life by managing the way we think. Taking time for reflection, focusing energy on what's important, breaking away from the thinking habits of our culture or social group--all these techniques can be added to our mental routine to improve the internal foundation that a well-lived life requires. John C. Maxwell is an experienced pastor and personal growth writer whose words and voice are as magnetic as they are relaxing and soothing. He makes the hard work of self-analysis and goal-setting sound easy. For lifelong learners of all ages and levels of spirituality, this program is a wonderful companion to enjoy again and again.
