'That Attitude Book'

Positive Reactions To The Accelerating Pace Of Change

By Dr. Graham Pepper
In active collaboration with Carole Spiers

A refreshing new slant on life, work and happiness, endorsed By Dame Judi Dench and Sir John Harvey-Jones. With reassuring insights from many other achievers down the ages.

Leading social analyst Graham Pepper says 'cheer up'.

Partly because the pace of change can actually be handled quite easily, with a few simple rules for sensible living - and partly because the times are not basically changing at all, as confirmed by much ancient wisdom that is acutely relevant today.

The trick is to distinguish the truth from among the all those confusing images that distract our attention and make us needlessly unhappy and unfulfilled.

Join Graham Pepper on this optimistic little jaunt through the 21st century mind. Keep it with you, like a travel guide for life's journey. Feel better about yourself and the world around you.

The roots of negativity in the west

Paying the price for Hi-Tech

• Job losses ... all-day crises via the net ... nowhere to hide from that mobile ... it all adds up to a feeling that we are losing control of our lives.

World disasters brought to your screen

• Bad news outsells good, whether it is floods, earthquakes or just divorce. Your media diet makes our lovely world look like a dark threatening place.

Envy of the celebrity life

• 'If you're not a millionaire supermodel, you're nobody.' The envy cult creates artificially low self-esteem, depression, anorexia/bulimia etc.

Attitudes That Encourage Positive Living

Capabilities and values

• Charting the different levels of the brain - your basic hardware and how it's driven by the software, the value by which you respond to events.

Analysing the sense of purpose

• Taking charge means taking responsibility for your actions. Cultivate optimism, have clear aims and a high degree of commitment and self-control.

The Meaning of success and failure

• Expectation has a lot to do with it. The successful may encounter many rejections without feeling like losers and that is how they win through.

• 'Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.'
• 'The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all'
• 'Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway.'

• 'A goal is a dream with a deadline.'

- coined (but not in this order) by Walt Disney, Sir Winston Churchill, James Joyce, Jawaharlal Nehru and John Wayne.
