Product Description
It seems we’re all growing more negative. Bad news on the TV and in the papers makes us all feel fed up and we find it easier to talk about what’s wrong instead of looking for what’s good.
But imagine knowing a simple trick that you could use to help you feel better about everything. No matter how bad, how upsetting, how annoying or how frustrating the situation, wouldn’t it be great if you had the power to take it on and make it better?
Well, that simple trick does exist and it’s time to learn how to Flip It.
This fantastic book will show you a different way of thinking, acting, feeling and doing whereby you can easily and simply get the very best out of every situation you find yourself in.
You’ll learn straightforward techniques that you can use to make the bad times more bearable, the good times better than ever and everyday life just, well, less ‘everyday’.
Then, with a little practice, you’ll learn how to Flip It swiftly, instantly and successfully to turn even the most pressing problems into the best possible experiences.
And once you’ve learned to Flip It with ease, just like super-successful people have been doing for thousands of years, you’ll find, at home and at work, your life is more fun, more successful, more rewarding and more positive.
Embrace the power of the Flip It philosophy today and discover how brilliant it feels to shine and live your life full of positivity, possibility and purpose.

Format:Paperback
Flip It is much more than a way of thinking; it's a way of acting and doing.
I really enjoyed the way this book moves way beyond simple positive thinking ideas (as seen in many other books) and gives practical examples of things to actually do. I'm of the belief that if you want great things to happen then you have to take action to make them happen. Michael Heppell appears to agree. The challenge I've always had is the motivation and a simple way to make that happen... until now.
Flip It is split in to 10 main sections topped and tailed with an introduction and a quirky `end bit'. They are:
1 Finding Flip It. This gives a quick introduction to the concept, it's easy to grasp and apply with some quick results. I found myself using one idea immediately.
2) Flip It for confidence and happiness. I love the story here about ordering the same takeaway month after month (I'm guilty) and the example from the world of sport where a player keeps missing passes and how a sports coach fixed it.
2) Flip It for friends, family and love. This book was worth it alone for the `Friends Grid' idea. What a wake up call.
4) Flip IT for health. At last I thought a realistic guide to health. Eat Well, Think Well & Move Well makes sense to me. Not sure about the vinegar idea though too high risk for me.
5) Flip It for Money. This chapter takes a more serious approach to a serious subject. I found myself wincing at times at the descriptions of people who have money issues - too close to home perhaps?
6) Flip It for success. Again there are dozens of ideas here, some which strike a chord straight away and others which need a little more thinking (from the reader). Rock to Resolution seems almost too good to be true, is it? We'll see.
7) Flip It for creativity. I would have liked this chapter right at the start as it really opened my mind to possibility. I would not describe myself a creative person yet I found myself being creative.
8) Flip It at work and in business. This should be a whole new book. I found myself wanting more information and at one point thinking about getting a different job. More importantly I felt confident in my abilities to do so.
9) Flip it for your fantastic future. A reminder to set goals (I know I should), but with a new twist which saw me taking out a pad and really planning my fantastic future. This included doing something I always said I will do and writing an Amazon review - done it - tick.
10) Flip It for everything else. The author says this is where he put all the pieces which didn't fit naturally into other chapters. Very true. Some crazy ideas, some simple truths and a great idea for maximising your musical taste.
Flip It is packed with ideas. Often two or three a page. It's fresh, fun and very practical and at 150 pages the type of book you can read in a few days - perfect for busy people.

I bought this after hearing about it on the Chris Evans show. The idea behind the book is very simple - really focus on the positive and turn the negativity off. I like its simplicity. Read it quickly (and was an entertaining, easy read) but felt very disappointed at the end - is-that-it type of flat feeling. Can't honestly say there was much that I would use, apart from the general premise to keep focussed on the positive. Has gone to the charity shop already...

Approaching this self-help book with an open mind, I was disappointed, primarily, with its patronising tone. It is full of familiar concepts eg 'Men are from Mars', leave your hunter gatherer alone for a hour after he comes home from a hard day's work....and several positive psychology and cognitive therapy practices.
Strange as it may seem, women are able to build flat pack furniture on their own, contrary to suggestions in this book. Another chapter advises sorting through your friedships. Would anyone really chart their friends along the axes Heppel suggests?
I do think, however, that there are a few handy hints which anyone could utilise to promote a little more positivity in their life, for instance, looking at problems as challenges or using 'How can I succeed at this?' rather than 'I can't do it'. A bit of common sense really.
The overriding sense throughout, nonetheless, is one of easy money, Heppel regurgatating old themes for vulnerable and/or gullible people. Even his video reminds me of one of those evangelical 'religious' leaders with their own TV channels, dripping in gold. Beware.

Slightly disappointing...
This book was ok.
Nothing really life changing for me, but the author would probably say thats my negative mind-set.
