Experimental episode digging into the highlights I've gathered from Paul Arden's book, 'Whatever You Think, Think The Opposite'

We go into 4 KEY takeaways for you to ponder on this week...

Purchase Book on Amazon

The bestselling author of "It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be" Paul Arden turns logic and common sense on its head in "Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite "and gives you the confidence to take bigger risks and enjoy your work more than you can imagine. Have you ever considered the extraordinary power of making bad decisions, being unreasonable, and taking dangerous, unadvisable risks? Has it ever occurred to you that nothing is more dangerous than playing it safe, or that the straight and narrow path may lead you right off a cliff? Paul Arden has become a global business guru on the strength of such radical insights. His first book, "It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want to Be", became a word of mouth classic, selling more than half a million copies. Instead of the usual boring advice, he offered daring quips, aphorisms, and paradoxes - all seeking to revise what we habitually hold as our 'common sense'. "Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite" is an even more daring attack on the way we look at our work and our world.

KATIE’S STORY

Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to end their own suffering. As she guides people through the powerful process of inquiry she calls The Work, they find that their stressful beliefs—about life, other people, or themselves—radically shift and their lives are changed forever. Based on Byron Katie's direct experience of how suffering is created and ended, The Work is an astonishingly simple process, accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, and requires nothing more than a pen, paper, and an open mind.

Through this process, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and deal with it there. Katie (as everyone calls her) not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking: she gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free.

Michele is an international speaker and coach and am now working with Deepak Chopra as a Wellness Expert on his new digital platform jiyo.com.   I have 15 years experience working with people from all walks of life who want to make changes in their lives but are still stuck after trying  just about every other option. I work quickly and economically to get you the results you want and need so that you can move forward with your life.

Before I began helping people to make profound and lasting changes in their lives. I was an international runway model. You're probably wondering how I made such an extreme life change. When I was a model I suffered from anorexia nervosa and there were very few people around who knew how to help me and my colleagues who were also suffering, so I embarked on a journey to figure out what I could do to free myself from the 'monkey on my back'. I did a lot of reading and self-development and learned a lot along the way. Some good some not so good. I was always interested in human behavior and at that moment realized that I wanted to help others get the 'monkey off their back'. After years of studying several methodologies such as NLP, Hypnotherapy and Havening Techniques, I had the tools to make a difference in people's lives with their weight, anxiety, stress, trauma and any other issue that was holding them back.
