Margaret Martin – författare

A small book with a powerful impact.

Dale Carnegie, the famous motivational speaker whose work has constructively changed the lives of many thousands of people, is often quoted as saying, You are what you think about, and with that phrase, he awakened us to realize the amount of control over our life experience that we give entirely to what we think. But knowing that our minds are often out of control, only poses the question, How do we begin to manage what we think?

The Chatter That Matters reveals the power of the endless Mind Chatter that consumes us all, and offers us tools to use to pick and choose our trains of thought constructively. You will find this book to be an easy-to-use guide that will help you to: reclaim control of your thoughts by getting rid of the negative mind chatter, improve the chatter you share with others and structure the all-important protective chatter - all components that make up the chatter that really matters.

This is a book that you will want to use over and over. As you peel away the layers of mental habit that have not been serving you, like peeling the onion layer by layer, you will continue to rid yourself of the negative chatter youve been creating and embrace the habit of creating only empowering chatter.
