After a recent defeatist conversation with a
teenager preparing for VCE, this book found me. I realized what an extensive
and wide-reaching audience Build the
Person You Want to Be is suited to.
It is a valuable resource for improving
your outlook on everything, building a positive attitude, and changing wrong
perceptions of things brought on by negative thoughts.
In a constantly changing and challenging world,
young people (and people of all ages) are faced with constant stress to perform.
Many view the future as bleak and fatalistic.
Here are seven tools that will
increase positivity and creativity plus many additional scientific-based,
well-researched stimulants to improve your thought process.
They come from the Oranges toolkit that was originally
created to improve morale and productivity at Camp Quality, Australia’s leading
charitable organization for children from birth to 12 years, living with
cancer. It proved so successful that countless other organizations sought to
adopt these ideas which are now in such demand.
It is proven that breaking bad habits and
retraining the brain is possible. This is included in the list of ways to
improve your thinking, consider alternate possibilities, and generate new
ideas.
Language plays a big part in the way we see life. The
way we self-talk and speak to others needs careful thought and is important in
a person’s reform.
Contained here are interlinked principles full of
hope and change, to help individuals as well as groups, navigate their way through
difficult situations, thoughts, fears and anxieties, and improve the quality of
their life.
This book is a must for anyone of any age stuck in
the rut of unhealthy, negative attitudes. An ideal read for parents who want to
facilitate change in their child’s outlook to help them reach their full
potential.
