Believe It to Achieve It
by Brian Tracy and Christina Tracy Stein
Overcoming the negative beliefs that block achievement, again co-written with Tracy's daughter: where limiting beliefs come from, the role of parents and early experience, forgiveness, and rebuilding self-talk. It is the more psychological end of Tracy, and the better for the collaboration.
Read it if…
you know your self-talk is the problem and want a workable program.
Skip it if…
you want tactics only; this is inner work.
Three things you will actually use
- Beliefs are learned, so they can be unlearned.
- Forgiveness clears the ground for change.
- Self-talk is a habit you can replace.
Do this first
Write the three beliefs you hold about yourself that you would never say to a friend.
Our verdict
The psychological end of Tracy.
