That Attitude Book
Graham Pepper

I have known Graham Pepper for many years and like anyone who has met him have always been struck by his eternally upbeat attitude, some of the secrets of which he sets out to reveal in this book.

Working in the field of business improvement, one thing that has become abundantly clear is that excellence is more the result of the way we think than the things we do. This pocket guide helps explain how our attitude affects our performance and more importantly helps us understand how we can improve both.

Graham has created a guidebook to how our thinking works and more importantly how we can take control to manage our mind and reap the benefits of positive attitude. Through a mix of short descriptions supported by carefully selected and powerful quotations and the occasional simple exercise the book provides an enlightening introductory manual to the working and use of our minds to create positive outcomes.

Divided into two parts, the first deals with the prevalence of negativity and the debilitating effects it can have. In the second part practical guidance and techniques are outlined which will enable the creation of a positive attitude. The book provides a well structured and practical approach which if applied will improve both attitude and achievements inside and outside work.

This is no thick technical manual; instead it follows the format of the phrase book used on a foreign journey. It is genuinely pocket sized and rather than eruditely sitting unused on the shelf, can be carried to provide ready guidance for thinking differently on life’s journey.

To help the journey’s onward progress there is a list of over 40 titles for further reading which allow the reader to extend their knowledge in their areas of interest.
