Product Description

Product Description

New price, new look and new format for this bestselling pop psychology classic. You Can't Afford The Luxury of a Negative Thought is an upbeat, accesible book about the power of positive thought -- and about how negative thinking can wreck lives. Negative thinking is seen as a debilitating illness that will slowly kill your spirit -- and for some people lead to actual physical disease. Happily though, this is not a doom-filled book at all! The authors show how to: Eliminate The Negative -- spend less time thinking 'down' and negative thoughts. / Accentuate The Positive -- spend more time focussing on the positive things in your life. / Latch On To The Affirmative -- enjoy each moment! Packed full of inspirational, funny, and moving quotes. This book was written in part specially for those who have been diagnosed with severe illness. Negative thinking drags you down -- whilst a truly positive approach will have a positive effect on your whole self -- thus promoting good physical health. Though this book is a terrific inspirational read for anyone looking to recover health, it's essentially a big book about positive thinking and is certainly not limited to an 'ill' market!

About the Author

The authors have written a string of bestselling inspirational books. Peter McWilliams is a leading US voice in personal development.

4.0 out of 5 stars New light on common sense, 21 Aug 2002
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This excellent book is divided into 2 parts: The disease and the cure, and the latter consists of 3 sections: Accentuate the positive, Eliminate the negative and Latch onto the affirmative. It explains the fight or flight response, the effect thoughts have on the body, and the question of death. It also deals with mourning, how to focus on the positive and has a useful section on depression. Suitable quotes by inter alia Freud, Santayana, Voltaire, Emerson, Russell, Shaw, Anais Nin, Epicurus, Whitman, Keller, Hippocrates, Oscar Wilde and Maria Montessori enhance the text and help to explain things. I would not say that it is absolutely the best self-help book I've ever read ( a little more emphasis on how to influence the subconscious mind would have been valuable), but it casts welcome new light on this thing called "common sense." It is a pleasure to read and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't afford the luxury of being without this book!, 7 April 2002
By A Customer
Superbly written and immensely practical. This is a book I will refer to time and time again, and can thoroughly recommend to anyone who has ever been dogged with negative thinking. Also a worthwhile reference for anyone who is serious in wanting to help a friend as it will give you an insight into incorrect thinking patterns and allow you to assist their recovery from depression. Worth every penny and more - a book you shouldn't be without, I only wish I could have read it sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars could everyone please return my other copies!!!!, 9 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: You Can't Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought: A Book for People with Any Life-threatening Illness - Including Life! (Paperback)
this is now the 7th copy of this book that i am purchasing!!! all the rest have been handed out to good friends in moments of need and for one reason or another, it just doesn't come back!!!this is such an outstanding book. it is spiritual, it is funny, it is sensible, it is tender, it is realistic and wise, and an absolute pleasure to read.broken down into 2-3 page chapters, it is simply one of the best guides to living that i have ever come across. for anyone who has ever wanted their own spiritual guru, this is a paperback version of one.enjoy
