About the Book

Having a positive atitude has many benefits, not the least of which is better health; but the pace of modern life is such that people are subjected to more negative stresses and strains and sometimes feel that they can no longer cope. So how should people maintain a positive attitude when the going gets tough? This text is designed to help the reader examine the factors which create negativity and therefore stress and then provides tips and techniques to convert negativity into positive energy. The book explores the use of brain power and inner dialogue to change ways of thinking and reaction. Issues covered in the book include: the benefits of being more positive; knowing what creates negativity; recognizing that which can be controlled and that which can not; deciding on appropriate values; the balance of life; learning to let go; and increasing confidence.
