Book Description

It's estimated that we think around 50,000 thoughts a day. That's a lot of noise. Realistically, the noise is never going to stop. Much of what we think about is negative, counterproductive, or not based on reality. Neuroscience teaches us that our brains have a negativity bias. Internal fake news is the worst kind of since it's mostly personal, negative, and repetitive. Every thought that we entertain with emotion creates a physical reaction and impacts our outputs and performance.The problem isn't that we have negative thoughts; the problem is that we believe and pay attention to them. The prerequisite for success and a peaceful life is getting your mind right. We forget that happiness does not come from a success; success comes from happiness. When your mind is right, you're thinking the right way and doing the right things to create success. It's also about what you expect or envision for yourself. This is vital since we only allow ourselves the degree of success that's consistent with our self-concept and what we believe we deserve. This book teaches you how to be more mindful, mentally tough and resilient. It offers a primer in psychological performance improvement training- how to begin re-wiring your brain to get it in tune with what you want, not what you fear.

This helps you counter cognitive distortions, entrenched negativity, and use your mind to train your brain.At times we need to take a break and let the noise be; at times we need to quiet the noise to get our brain still.
