"People can choose their spirit - their attitude to life. They can choose to be positive or negative, creators or complainers. People can focus on what they can control, rather than complain about what they can't." So says Mike Pegg in the introduction to this book, which can perhaps best be described as a manual for building on people's strengths - or a manifesto on positive thinking.
He provides many compelling examples of people who have "chosen their spirit", some of whom have overcome extraordinary odds on the way, set their goals and achieved fulfilment. Then, just in case this inspiration is not enough, he provides exercises, models and other tools you can use to build on your strengths and help others do so too.
Turning phrases faster than you can turn the pages, this book is written in the type of language which you cannot help but remember:
* "You can follow your vocation, find the right vehicle and do valuable work"
* "You can flow, focus, finish and as a by-product find fulfilment"
* "People making the new rules of work need to be both "soul-wise" and "street-wise" because making things happen sometimes calls for being quite "savvy"
In fact, one can't help but wonder whether it has been designed to hardwire your brain to make sure you actually do this stuff.
How to categorise this book? Positive psychology, personal development, management psychology, spirituality, autobiography? Take your pick. Perhaps the best way to decide whether it could be for you is to ask yourself: "Do I want to make the most positive impact on the planet I am capable of, and help others do so too?"
