Publisher Pick:
ShiftPoints – Unconventional ways to re-engineer our thought-life and behaviors
Book offers guidance to attain the things we say are important
5 Star Book Review by Phil Calhoun Publisher of California Broker Magazine
I rarely give any book a 5-star rating but with Dean’s book I must say earned my highest rating. I was not alone as most EVERYONE else gave it five stars. The two hundred vignettes of helpful, realistic nuggets of wisdom are designed to help shape how we look at things. Dean’s thoughts outlined in these concise and practical summaries will lead readers to enjoy the ease of application and frankly fun ways to think outside the box about situations and circumstances.
Many people now have the perspective that everything we see and do shapes our attitudes and may alter our lives. Thanks again, Dean.
If you enjoy this book, Dean Del Sesto has published more recent books on rich topics and always adds his keen insight and ability to summarize in understandable ways what can be complexities which trap us in repeating cycles of stuckness.
“ShiftPoints” Summary
In the battleground of the mind, many of us are ill-equipped. We say we want to grow, improve, and succeed, but so often we silently and effectively kill our own dreams by the things we tell ourselves. ShiftPoints provides truly unconventional, yet highly practical ways to re-engineer our thought-life and behaviors so we can attain the things we say are important to us. Dean Del Sesto shows busy readers how to make small shifts in their thinking that can have big impacts. These to-the-point readings will provoke, inspire, and move readers to improve all areas of life, work, and relationships through simple, yet critical shifts in the way we govern our thinking. Del Sesto introduces readers to provocative ideas like:
- If we were a brand would we buy ourselves, or keep shopping?
- During tough times in life, it’s easy to medicate ourselves with distraction.
- When we begin to think less of what people think of us, it is then we are able to think.
- If we gossiped about ourselves for a week, we might never gossip about another again.
- Don’t confuse being a visionary with the ability to actually bring forth a vision.
- Wisdom is saying enough to prove our point, not our existence.
Each principle can be applied instantly to readers’ lives, making ShiftPoints a useful, valuable source of inspiration and motivation in a rapidly changing world.
