Master Your Mind: Develop the Mindset Behind Greater Success

A wide-ranging guide to working on your own mindset, written for readers who have met this material before and found it hard to keep up in practice. It is upfront that none of it is quick: it argues that habits laid down over decades take patience to shift, and that the surroundings you build matter as much as the intentions you set. Eight chapters move from understanding thought patterns through concrete daily practices to a closing survey of philosophies worth reading against your own assumptions.

What's inside

• How thought patterns picked up early in life get taken for plain fact, and a set of observations about conscious and subconscious attention the rest of the book builds on
• Building mental strength from the ground up - using exercise and diet as a test of follow-through, and shaping your surroundings so there is less to resist in the first place
• Six practices set out side by side: meditation, yoga, fasting, mindfulness, concentration drills and any one pursuit followed with real intensity, plus a longer retreat-style protocol
• Working with the subconscious: how to phrase affirmations in the present tense, when they land best, why negation does not work, and where affirmations alone tend to fall short
• Law of attraction and Jungian shadow work presented as two competing schools, what each claims, and the case for drawing on both rather than picking a side
• Imagination as a tool in its own right, with three concrete creative assignments and a set of mindset exercises around money and gratitude
• Immersion as a way to stretch the mind - intensive creative work, language learning, travel done slowly, and deliberately taking on the thing you would rather avoid
• A closing survey of eight frameworks to read against your own assumptions: astrology, Ayurveda, Hinduism, presentism, Stoicism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Taoism and Zen
