Basing his latest book on the theory that "successful people
think differently than unsuccessful people," Maxwell (author of
bestselling The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and Running with
the Giants) guides readers on the journey of mastering "good
thinking" to achieve their personal and professional potential.
Maintaining an encouraging tone and a down-to-earth writing style
honed from his more than 30 previous titles, Maxwell details the
impact and practical value of 11 kinds of thinking, including
reflective, shared, creative, unselfish and big-picture. Useful
tips, like how to discover your gifts through focused thinking,
ways to break down complex issues with strategic thinking, and how
to understand the value of examining the worst-case scenario
through realistic thinking, characterize the author's surprisingly
concrete lessons. The step-by-step format is bolstered by
inspirational quotes, personal insights and high-profile anecdotal
evidence about the likes of Priscilla Presley, George Lucas and
George Washington Carver. Ending each chapter, emphasizing the
discipline needed to think your way to the top, are exercises
designed to evaluate and increase your personal progress in each
area.
