Brief synopsis:
American pastor, writer and global motivational speaker Erwin Raphael McManus shares 12 thought provoking and transformative mind shifts in this book which aims to support us to develop a growth mind-set and unleash our potential. By prompting us to challenge our own pre-conceived ideas, limiting beliefs and unhelpful thinking patterns he gives us a road map to a richer, more fulfilled life with purpose, success and vision. Packed with practical wisdom and insights from his extensive work in personal development, Mind Shift is relatable, useable and highly motivating without any of the flowery distractions often found in other self-help books: it’s as much about building character as it is about changing mindset. This is one to read and re-read when needed and it’s worth highlighting the paragraphs which resonate most deeply.
