It's not just WHAT you think, but HOW you think, that makes a difference in the outcomes you generate. You make tens of thousands of decisions a day - up to 70,000 according to research. Yet far too many of these decisions are made under emotional duress, stress, anxiety, and pressure. When this happens, the rational control center of your brain is no longer in charge, having been replaced by the emotional control center. Make Better Decisions. You do not have to emotionally react to events, situations, and people. Within this book you will find useful and easy-to-implement tips and techniques for taking control of your emotions and thoughts so that you can respond, instead of reacting, to life's daily challenges. Doing so puts you in a position to make more optimal decisions, both personally and professionally. Drive Better Outcomes.
