review 1: Chamine's book takes cognitive psychology practices and mindfulness training and clumsily repackages them for the business community. While part of me is happy to see these concepts passed around by whatever means necessary to reach a variety of people, it's frustrating that in order to sell this as something of his own he gives a few obligatory nods to the actual research community, but then spends the bulk of the book describing his own idiosyncratic and completely untested theories.For instance, he invents 10 categories of mental "saboteurs" that he says contribute to our negative thinking--The Judge and his 9 accomplices: the Controller, Hyper-Achiever, Restless, Stickler, Pleaser, Hyper-Vigilant, Avoider, Victim, and Hyper-Rational. While he appreciates and thanks a... more lot of researchers in positive psychology for producing results he finds useful, he of course makes no effort to put his own ideas through the research process, because that is outside of his skill set and would take real time and work, unlike the armchair psychology of just making stuff up based on his personal experiences and observations.
review 2: I loved this book! It's one of those books that offers practical solutions that anyone can implement to stop their saboteurs in their tracks, while also showing how to tap into skill sets that can help you professionally and personally. The author includes exercises you can try on the spot and as someone who tried them out, I found myself interrupting my saboteurs and really appreciating the situations I was in from a different perspective, that allowed me to see the bigger picture. The website that accompanies the book also has some useful resources, including assessments you can use. I highly recommend this book as a way to help you really unleash inner resources you may not you have. It will transform your business and your life! less
