FLIP THINKING The Life-Changing Art of Turning Problems into Opportunities

Changing "yes but" to "yes and" may be an overused trope in the personal-growth space, but in this audio a prolific Dutch author uses his theater background to give the advice a colorful new life. The core idea is that fighting with problem people or arguing with yourself about your own problems only hardens the issues. Instead, Gunster suggests embracing the realities, even exaggerating them, so that you're engaged with them, a strategy that actually provides more leverage for change. With his continental accent and perfect elocution, Boris Hiestand uses a mildly theatrical speaking style to give the production a jazzy, upbeat tone. It works well with the author's 15 creative strategies for getting away from limitations and negativity--and moving toward what's possible.
