Your mind plays the
critical role of leading you to success or failure. This is the
opening argument in Dr. Beecham's book. Specifically, he talks about
the importance of the unconscious. It's where our beliefs reside, and
it's our beliefs that are responsible for how we respond to a given
situation. To put it simply, if you believe you can't do something,
your unconscious will find ways to keep you from doing it. On the
other hand, you can retrain your mind and bring your beliefs into
line with the success you want to achieve.
The book is
structured in three parts. Part One is about understanding your mind.
This section discusses the importance of the unconscious in driving
your actions. Part Two discusses how your mind can fail you. Fear can
keep you from attempting to reach for the goals you want to achieve.
Part Three discusses how to become the person you want to be. I found
one of the most inspiring sections summarizes Viktor Frankl's idea of
when you're at your best. You can't pursue success and expect to
achieve it. Success comes as a by product of focusing your attention
on doing something worthwhile.
I enjoyed this book.
It's interesting to see the number of psychology books today
stressing the importance of the mind in determining behavior and even
curing the body. I highly recommend this book, if you're interested
in the interaction of mind and body, or if you want to achieve
success and want some pointers.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
