Take Command (Chapter 1)
When Dale Carnegie CEO Joe Hart found himself lying awake at 3am during the early days of COVID-19, gripped by fear for his company, his team and his family, it was Dale Carnegie's own writing that helped him find his way back to a clearer head.
This free ebook is the opening chapter of Take Command by Joe Hart and Michael Crom, exploring how choosing your thoughts deliberately, rather than letting them run on autopilot, is often the first step to taking command of your life.
Key takeaways
- Why your thoughts and emotions, not your circumstances, are often the biggest factor in how a difficult situation actually feels.
- The negativity bias that makes us dwell on threats and mistakes, and practical ways to notice it happening in the moment.
- Three strategies for choosing better thoughts: using negative thoughts as an early warning system, reframing them, and practising affirmations.
