I saw Barbara Ehrenreich, author of the book Bright-Sided, on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last week. Her book reveals "How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America." I love Jon Stewart's interviews and was keenly curious about this author and her book.
As I watched Ehrenreich on television, I got the feeling she's a wounded soul. She talked about being diagnosed with cancer and how people around her told her to just think positive. I know from having my own cancer scare a few years ago that her feelings were justified. When you've been diagnosed with the C word, you've been kicked in the gut. Smiling people don't help. I felt for her and agreed with her. Positive thinking in that dire situation isn't welcome, at least not at first.
As I often do after seeing a Jon Stewart interview, I jumped on Amazon and ordered her book. I was so curious that I paid extra for next day delivery.
It's a well written historical overview of positive thinking. It mentions all the positive thinkers you might guess, from Napoleon Hill to Joel Olsteen , Jack Canfield, Will Bowen, Bob Doyle, Rhonda Byrne; to the teachers in the movie The Secret, including me.
Turns out Ehrenreich heard me speak a few years ago at the National Speakers Association annual convention. There were more than 6,000 people there, so I never met her. But I apparently left an impression. She says in her book -
"Vitale, who looks like a slightly elongated version of Danny DeVito, offers the theme of 'inspired marketing,' and also love. "
Inspired Marketing is the title of a book I wrote with Craig Perrine, and love is the core of everything I do.
But Ehrenreich didn't say either fact.
She mentions I'm a disciple of P.T. Barnum in her book, too, but doesn't explain that's because I wrote a popular business book on him, titled There's A Customer Born Every Minute.
For a journalist, she cleverly left off statements that would justify what I, and others she mentions in her book, stand for and teach.
The message of her book seems to be to use critical thinking, not positive thinking, in order to make a difference in your life and world. For her, positive thinking can be delusional, while critical thinking can give you a well-rounded view of your choices.
I agree with her.
The thing is, most people who say they are critical thinkers are actually skeptical thinkers. They quickly dismiss concepts without trying them, or demand scientific proof for concepts that are still being researched. That, to me, is delusional.
The most powerful books I've read on the subject of critical thinking are by Steve Siebold. His books are wake-up calls to your brain. Read his book 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class, or Die Fat or Get Tough, or read his forthcoming book on mental toughness secrets of the rich.
While I prefer positive thinking over negative thinking, I have to admit that positive thinkers can sometimes be blind to reality. When I had my cancer scare, I didn't just think positive. I also took massive action. I searched for cures, I contacted all the healers and medical doctors I know, I tried every method offered to me, and I stayed persistent. The end result is a clean bill of health. But I didn't get there by putting on a happy face and sitting in a corner.
Bright-Sided is a bestselling book and Ehrenreich is getting lots of publicity for it. While she ends the book with a call to be more critical in our thinking, and to take action to get results, I suspect it will mislead many readers. Too many will jump to the conclusion that positive thinking doesn't work at all. They'll use the book to justify not being optimistic, or not choosing to feel good. They'll just keep on complaining.
My reminder to you is that you always have a choice: When confronted with any moment, you can look at it cheerfully, unhappily, or objectively. I prefer the latter but with a positive expectancy.
When I got the heath scare, I at first was walloped with the news. But then I set an intention to find a cure. I expected one because, as I say in my book The Attractor Factor, there's always a way to handle any problem. My critical thinking -- or maybe it's better called objective thinking -- included the possibility that positive action and positive expectation would be better than just unhappiness, happiness, or no action.
I appreciate critical thinking, but it's subject to delusion, too. Most of the people I know who claim to be critical thinkers still have limiting beliefs and negative attitudes they aren't even aware are in their own head. They are actually skeptical thinkers as a form of self-protection.
Combine all this with the Law of Attraction and you might see where critical/skeptical thinkers will find evidence for their beliefs, and positive thinkers will find evidence for their own beliefs. They'll simply attract what they need to support their mindsets.
So how do you get out of this maze so you can have a clear-headed, productive life?
For me, the fastest thing that helps you get mentally clear is having the right coach. I know I've said it before but it needs said again: Every high achiever I know has a coach in their area of expertise. The coach can help them see their thinking patterns. The coach can help them stay accountable. The coach can help them achieve the results they want.
If having a coach is part of what Ehrenreich condemns as something that has "undermined America", then I have to disagree with her. In fact, I'd go so far as to suggest she get a coach to help her unravel her own thinking about "Bright-Sided" being negative. It could also help her heal her psychic wounds.
But as she openly says, it's "reckless optimism" that bothers her the most. With that in mind, I suggest she's correct. You don't want to be recklessly optimistic, but practically optimistic.
In other words, choose what you want, have an optimistic expectancy about the results, take action to attract it, and monitor your progress for feedback and course changes. That's how you make practical use of the Law of Attraction.
That's not being "Bright-Sided", that's being smart.
Finally, decades ago I had a landlord who made fun of me for reading success literature, such as positive thinking books.
I was struggling, broke and unknown at the time. I was paying him two hundred dollars a month to live in a dumpy little room in his house. I didn't look like I was going anywhere in life.
He caught me reading a Norman Vincent Peale book (probably Enthusiasm Makes the Difference) and said, "You believe that shit?"
"I sure do," I said.
While at the time he questioned me I had no evidence for any future success, and any critical thinking person could have dismissed me as a dreamer, today I'm wealthy and well known.
Was it because I read positive thinking books?
Was it because I chose to be "bright-sided" about life?
Was it because I took massive action and kept a positive expectancy about my future?
What do you think?

Lifestyle Wellness Solutions For Personal Growth And Healthy Change
Lifestyle experts say that most of us are content to stay safely within the confines of the status quo. However, people want to keep doing <a href="http://www.myspashop.com/shopping/health-nutrition-and-fitness.html?world=shopping">wellness solutions</a> what's familiar because they know where that goes. Our natural inclination is to want the ability to take charge of our journey through living. There are many kinds of fears that people cope with in the prospect of change that include the fear of failure and fear of something horrible happening. People resist change, even if what they're currently doing isn't working, because the unknown is scarier.
Research suggests that optimists who are receptive to change are not only happier but also healthier, mentally and physically. Change resisters and pessimistic people have trouble dealing with stress, get sick more frequently, and are more likely to suffer from depression. "It's a negative cycle: perceiving change as something to be feared leaves people stuck in an unhealthy situation, which can then lead to depression, which in turn makes change feel more frightening," says Maryann Troiani, psychologist and coauthor of "Spontaneous Optimism."
Finding ways to shake things up and carve new paths will guide you towards a happier and healthier you. Read on for tips on how to break out of the cycle of stagnation with do it your self <a href="http://www.myspashop.com/passions.html?world=passions">home spa treatments</a>.

Write down the answer to each of the following questions before moving on to the next one: What do I want in my life right now that is missing? How would I feel in five years if I didn't have this in my life? Why haven't I made this change already?
Start small to avoid feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Want a change in career, but not ready to leave your job? Take a class to find out of the new field is a good fit. Testing the waters will make you feel informed, which will motivate you to continue.
Make a Plan People want change to be quick and easy, but it is a process. You need a plan to guide you. Write down your goal and be as specific as possible.

Meeting Kevin Trudeau
Copyright (c) 2014 Joe Vitale
Decades ago I bought Kevin Trudeau's Mega-Memory course. I don't remember where it is (ha ha) but I remember liking it.
Not long ago I bought his bestselling books, from Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About to The Weight Loss Cure.
I've seen him on infomercials and have friends who know him. But I never thought I'd meet him.
I did.
And it was unforgettable.
Kevin and his young bride met me for dinner last night in Austin, Texas. He surprised me by being early. Most people are late for meetings. Not Kevin. I liked that quality in him, as I'm usually early for meetings, too.
Kevin looks much younger and thinner than his recent infomercials and photos reflect. He looked in his thirties, though I know he's 46. I did a double-take when he walked through the door. But he recognized me and waved. I liked that he remembered what I looked like from my online pics.
He and his wife met me at the bar, where I had been waiting (since I was early). When I told him I had been drinking 25 year old MaCallan scotch, he smiled and said it was his favorite.
I told him I knew that. I then handed him a rare cigar from a little island not far from Miami. He seemed really surprised. That's when I explained we have mutual friends, who tipped me at what he likes. Our friendship deepened.
Kevin's wife seemed starstruck. Turns out she is a big fan of all my books. And I mean all of them. They went on a shopping spree at Amazon and bought every title they could find by me.
Natalie, his wife, had lots of questions about the Law of Attraction and my writing career. She hung on my every word, as did Kevin. It was very flattering.
Kevin and I spoke about many things, from performing magic (we're both lifetime members of the Society of American Magicians), to infomercials (he had no idea of my experience with them) to network marketing to health cures to hypnotic storytelling.
I told him about my own infomercial for The Awakening Course. He asked about numbers and results, none of which I had at hand.
He said I should be on TV more. He said I am good looking, articulate, and sincere. (Thank you, Kevin.)
He advised me to consider creating an infomercial for one of my books, adding a few other books as premiums, and selling it for a low price, such as $19.95. He said to offer my Miracles Coaching as an up-sell when people called in to order.
This marketing method has helped him sell thirty million copies of his first book -- which he dictated in a week and sent to the printer with no editing or proofreading -- thirty million copies!
This guy is sharp, slick, and smart.
I'm well aware of Kevin's long term fight with the government, his prison time, his current federal restrictions, etc.
Yet the man I met is sincere, passionate, and dedicated. He is on a mission to help people get healthy and get out of debt. He's been to sixty countries in search of health cures that truly work. When he finds them, he reports on them. He's fearless about it, too.
He said cancer was usually due to stress, and usually concerns unexpressed grief. He said methods such as Roger Callahan's tapping technique, called Thought Field Therapy, could help release the wound up psychic energy behind cancer. He added that simple relaxation audios could also help.
Kevin lost 45 pounds (in 45 days) after discovering a German method for losing weight. It's one reason why he looks so much younger these days.
He's written about all of these discoveries and insights in his various books. (He gave me a signed set of them over dinner.)
I'm really impressed with Kevin. Too many people think too small or too conservatively, including me. Kevin says he likes simple. Instead of trying to get a publisher for his books, and fighting with them to market the books, and being let down when they don't sell, he goes straight to the masses with an infomercial.
He shoots them in one take, with no script or promptings. He doesn't even care if the infomercial sells the book, as he knows the infomercial will cause people to go into stores and ask for the book. He can then sell his book to retailers.
The guy is just brilliant.
Natalie noticed my watch. It's a hand painted car. I have a watch for each of my cars. That led to talking about our car collections.
Kevin loved how I created a rolling mastermind out of my 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom.
He also loved the story of my inventing Fit-A-Rita.
Another trait I noticed and liked in Kevin is his ability to trust life. He never sees problems. He says you never ever know what any event actually means.
What looks like bad news may actually be good news a day or so later. He accepts the news and works with it. He has a spirit that won't be conquered. When I asked him about that, he said "You can't beat me. It's impossible. The world isn't set up like that. I'm going to win. Always."
Call it ego or call it delusion, that trait of invincibility is what many great people tend to have in common.
Kevin doesn't have goals. He's more relaxed these days and goes with the flow. He has a couple general intentions, such as for his own radio show, but otherwise he enjoys life and takes it as it comes.
My three hour dinner with Kevin (which he paid for) and his beautiful wife, was inspiring. I left thinking I need to hang around Kevin Trudeau and successful people like him more often.
He stretched my thinking, challenged my thinking, and enriched my thinking.
Who have you had dinner with recently that inspired you?
Who can you have dinner with and inspire?

Who Attracted Bernie Madoff?
Copyright (c) 2014 Joe Vitale
The other day someone posted this comment:
"How did Bernie Madoff's victims manifest being wiped out of all their wealth? They weren't anticipating it…most were happy being rich, enjoying prosperity, networking up, surrounding themselves with beautiful luxurious things…they certainly thought themselves worthy and entitled to great wealth, unlike many of the rest of us mortals. So, as the economy deteriorates, and many who were making 6 figures suddenly find themselves impoverished…how did the law of attraction put them in that situation?"
I've answered questions like this numerous times and in numerous places. But since so many people are asking again, wondering what is going on in the world when people are losing their homes and their savings, I thought I'd answer one more time.
First, if you're clumsy and keep knocking things over, you don't blame the law of gravity. You try to be more aware. You try to fix the problem inside you. The Law of Attraction is the same way.
You don't blame it. It's simply the underlying principle at work. It's neutral, just like the law of gravity. The issue isn't with the Law of Attraction, it's with what you are thinking and doing to create the experiences you attract.
Second, no one knows what is in the unconscious mind of anyone, including yourself. What we get in the outer world is a reflection of what we believe in the inner world.
Most people have issues with money. We think it's bad or evil, so we aren't comfortable with it. You might manage to attract some money, but if you don't feel you deserve it, you'll find a way to get rid of it.
Who knows what the "victims" were thinking who lost their money. They might be relieved. They might see it as a new opportunity. They might be blaming others. I don't know. Neither do you. The point for you is to look at your own beliefs, and change the ones that aren't serving you.
Third, you get what you focus on. Too many people are paying attention to the mainstream media. I was trained as a journalist in the early 1970s. I know the media's job is to seek out and often even create bad news.
If you pay attention to it, you program yourself to think the world is not safe and something bad can happen to you at any time. Over time, this programming sinks into your unconscious. Before you know it, you live it out. You then become part of the bad news reported in the media. You have to break the cycle to break free.
None of this is to say you are to blame. As I say in The Awakening Course, it's not your fault, but it is your responsibility. Your job is to awaken.
You have to think and do things differently to get different results. Here are some suggestions on how to accomplish that:
1. Change your beliefs. You may need help in spotting them and replacing them, but help is available. There's everything from Miracles Coaching to my Nightinglae-conant audio program, The Missing Secret.
2. Get support. You'll accelerate your change if you get support from a positive group. That's available, too. See the Attract Miracles Community.
3. Do something different. I read a book the other day ("Think Like a Billionaire, Become a Billionaire") that had a great line in it: if you are upset about your current reality, all that means is you are not planning on changing. Do something different to get a different result.
What you do is based on what you think, so cycle through these suggestions to get into a better place.
Finally, anyone can change.
If I can survive being homeless and in poverty to reach a lifestyle today that is one of daily magic and miracles, then you can do it, too.
It all begins right here, right now.
The next move is yours.
PS -- To illustrate how little I pay attention to the mainstream news, I had to google Bernie Madoff. I had no idea who he is or was. You don't need to watch the news to have a good life. My guess is, the less you watch, the happier you'll be.

How To Fee Good In Your Own Skin
It isn't unusual for lots of people to feel down about themselves or that they aren't as important as others. The fact is, nevertheless, that no individual is ideal and there's no reason you can not feel good about yourself. Use some of the following easy methods to feel wonderful in your own skin and see the distinction it can make.
You don't have to be perfect or compare yourself with others to feel good about yourself. You can learn to see your very own beauty by concentrating on the good and playing down the negative. Before you can do that you'll want to take a serious, unbiased look at yourself. Think about the things you do well, the friends you have and actual features you're happy with about yourself.
