Optimal Thinking

Rosalene Glickman

1990

OPTIMAL THINKING is the next step past positive thinking. That's because positive thinkers often think in mediocre terms & settle for second best. OPTIMAL THINKING empowers our best or most positive selves to take charge. We learn how to ASK THE BEST QUESTIONS, OBTAIN THE BEST SOLUTIONS & MAKE THE MOST OF ANY SITUATION. Instead of suppressing negativity & using wishful thinking, Optimal Thinkers approach life with optimal realism. Applying paint over rust doesn't remove the rust. Optimal Thinkers treat the rust & then apply the best paint! OPTIMAL THINKING IS THE MISSING LINK TO PEAK PERFORMANCE. We function at our peak when we think in optimal terms. Authored by "Australia's most successful woman," this revolutionary book provides us with the mental tools to consistently be our best in business & personal relationships. We discover what "the best" really means to us & define what is most important in our lives. We learn to maximize our talents, opportunities & time. OPTIMAL THINKING truly empowers us to experience the full might of our minds. We master emotions, minimize unwanted behaviors & bring out the best in others. OPTIMAL THINKING SIMPLY GIVES US THE BEST CHANCE OF ACHIEVING EVERYTHING WE WANT!
