Just a Thought: A No-Willpower Approach to Overcome Self-Doubt and Make Peace with Your Mind
You are not your thoughts! Learn how to overcome negative thinking habits and self-doubt so you can experience more confidence, freedom, and peace of mind.
When you understand how your mind works, unhelpful and noisy thoughts move to the background, and your awareness shifts to something quieter and deeper. This is true peace of mind. And it’s not some unattainable goal reserved for the most enlightened among us. Anyone can experience it. This book will show you how!
From life coach and psychologist Amy Johnson, this user-friendly guide offers a no-willpower approach informed by ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience to help you change your negative thinking habits, make peace with your inner critic, and experience more self-confidence and freedom than you ever thought possible.
Our minds are hardwired to expect the worst. They love to replay the past and predict the future. They have strong opinions that feel solid and meaningful, but are always changing and contradicting themselves. When we think our thoughts define who we are, we suffer. But when we see the truth–and we glimpse the space that lies beyond those self-created stories–we suffer far less. This book will help you glimpse that truth, and use it to find lasting peace.

Jeg fik et decideret kick ud af at læse Johnsons bog “The Little Book of Change” – så mine forventninger til “Just a Thought” var store. Og blev indfriet! Bogen er inddelt i fire overordnede kapitler og eksemplificerer det, hun beskriver, ved hjælp af egne oplevelser og klientsamtaler. Hvert lille afsnit afsluttes med et spørgsmål til refleksion, fx “What’s your mind’s favorite way to dramatize?” – og det kan man jo så tænke lidt over… I denne bog forklarer Johnson ret detaljeret om vores lille, fysiske hjerne, hvordan den fungerer, og hvad det betyder for vores hverdag, “when your mind runs the show”! Denne vinkel gør bogen til en “brugermanual”, idet De Tre Principper på en meget elegant facon bliver konkrete og reelle. De vises så at sige i “hverdagsaktion”. Johnson er bl.a. inspireret af neuropsykolog Chris Niebauer, hvorfor denne bogs omdrejningspunkt er, hvordan hjerner fungerer. Og dét er ikke kedelig læsning!
