How To Transform Your Perspective And Lead With Positivity

Here is a new book I imagine nearly everyone will benefit from. It is, The Negativity Fast. It's both a self-help book and a book for leaders who want to lead with positivity.

At the core of the book is a thirteen-week negativity fast, during which you’ll progressively eliminate sources of negativity in your life for 90 days. And then from that point, you’ll have a new outlook on life and will have learned how to use gratitude to completely transform your mental outlook as you reframe the negative events in your life into events that made you stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for future setbacks. 

“My goal is to help you reduce the time you spend in a negative state and increase the time you are positive,” explains the book’s author, Anthony Iannarino.

 

Particularly for business leaders, the book offers easy-to-follow lessons on learning to lead with positivity for effective change throughout your team and organization. The evidence-based exercises will give you a firsthand look at the tendency of external negativity to create internal turmoil and stress and exactly how to reduce those feelings.

 

Each book chapter provides practical, tactical strategies, which will help you remove negativity, such as: 

• Why You Are Negative: What is the science of why we are negative and how does our current environment cause us to be more negative.
• Talking Yourself Into a Negative State: How we talk ourselves into a negative state and how to talk ourselves out that state. Your inner voice isn’t always helpful.
• Empathy and How to Lie to Yourself. Learn to lie to yourself in a way that can remove your negativity, especially when it comes to other people.
• How to Stop Complaining: To feel better more of the time, train yourself to stop complaining.
• How to Live with Political Divisiveness: Politics makes a lot of people miserable. Here you will learn to be positive despite today's extreme political divineness, no matter which party you support.

The Negativity Fast is an inspiring new approach to improving your outlook, leadership techniques, resilience, and productivity. You’ll learn to harness the power of positivity, optimism, and empathy as you steadily reduce the sources of negativity you expose yourself to and replace them with positive influences. It is a can’t-miss resource for anyone involved in high-stress, high-stakes work, as well as managers, executives, and other business leaders.
