Everyday we’re bombarded with negative news. It’s easy to become preoccupied with problems and focus on what’s wrong and missing in our life. This kind of Deficit-Based Thinking can, over time, drain the life out of anyone. Now imagine if you focused on what’s right in this world instead, harnessed your strengths rather than letting weaknesses debilitate you, and highlighted opportunities rather than problems. Asset-Based Thinking, as introduced in the “Change the Way You See Everything” can make all the difference in how you see the world. The second book in the series, “Change The Way You See Yourself” takes the ABT principles one step further and explains how it can alter your view of yourself by unleashing your own power, expanding your circle of influence, and increasing your personal impact on the world.
