Week 1 Comment 2 - William Boswell

I found this reading to be very akin to many other books I have read on the topics of positive thinking or result-minded thinking. The primary difference present that truly struck a chord with my manner of analytical thinking was the simple question, “How?” How is my approach to the problem in front of me affecting my finding the solution I need? The practice steps at the end of the chapter provide suitable guidance for focusing the analysis of the situation; assess and reassess. By slowing down and examining how I am approaching a problem, I have a much better chance to find a flaw in my thoughts that may be limiting results.

My comment:

Your viewpoint is quite interesting in that you have a real 'this is what it is' approach. I like the idea of 'out of the boat' thinking except that my take would be more of 'now that you're out of the boat, how will you adapt to the next step'...

This book did remind me of a motivational speaker type and I also look forward to reading more of it. I believe that when we cannot find our way, we need only sit down, reflect, and our way will come to us.
