Mind Shift Transform Your Thinking. Transform Your Life.

Mental toughness, mental clarity, and mental health all have one thing in common: The journey begins in your mind.  In this radical guide, the award winning author of The Last Arrow illuminates a surprising path towards personal fulfillment and optimal performance.

Throughout his forty years of work as a mindset expert and leadership coach advising high performers across dozens of industries, bestselling author Erwin Raphael McManus has been obsessed with a question: Why do some people succeed despite having all the odds stacked against them? How do others achieve the unthinkable, only to watch their lives slip away? Are there mental structure for failure and success?

McManus realized that too many of us have “near-life” experiences. We almost pursue our dreams. We almost make the decision that changes everything. We are always one choice away. If we want to live without regret, we need to make a mind shift—trading beliefs that limit our potential for ones that help us move towards optimal performance and pursue the ultimate success of being fully alive. We must move from a life of obligation to a life of intention.

In Mind Shift, McManus brings together the twelve mental frameworks that have helped some of the most successful people on Earth create the internal structures of success. Among them:

• You have to choose between acceptance and uniqueness. If you are addicted to affirmation, you will become what others want you to be, rather than who you were created to become.
• You don’t need an audience. It’s what you do in private that makes you who you are.
• Talent is a hallucinogen. It will make you believe that hard work and discipline are for everyone else.
• No one knows what they’re doing. Stop letting your lack of experience hold you back from creating.

Sharing experiences from entrepreneurs, artists, professional athletes, and his own career, McManus shows us how to transform our thinking—and in turn, transform our lives.

Whether you’re dreaming about a future that seems impossible or seeking mental clarity, Mind Shift is a thought-provoking and life changing read about the mental structures that shape our lives.
