Today we’re doing a deep-dive on probably the most important book I’ve ever read; You Can’t Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought. I have a review of the book here.
I walk you through a few of the exercises in the book, and show you exactly how I overcome a lot of my own negative thinking patterns, with plenty of actual examples of me using these techniques myself.
Definitely recommend grabbing the book – everyone I’ve ever recommended it to has said it’s life-changing. Grab the book here.

I read the book, deceptively quick read considering how thick the soft cover copy of it is. I know that you swear by it, which is why I ordered the book from Ebay in the first place, but in my personal opinion it isn’t that great of a book. I found it filled with self help cliches, contradictions, and overall hippy nonsense.
Maybe I’m not depressed enough to find it useful? Maybe I’m too depressed and jaded? Who knows. Overall I found it disappointing. I think reading logs on GLL or some of your posts on here far more inspiring.
But I was really hoping the book would get me to think differently or shake me out of this rut that I seem to have been in my whole life. The book failed me, or i failed it.
Either way, have you ever read Let Your Life Speak, by Parker J Palmer? It seems like it would be right up your alley based on your recommendations. In my opinion it is also a better read than You Can’t Afford blah blah blah.
Did you read the book, or did you use the book (taking action)?
Those are two very different things.
