At the heart of John C. Maxwell's brilliant and inspiring book is a simple premise: To do well in life, we must first think well. But can we actually learn new mental habits? Thinking for a Change answers that with a resounding "yes" -- and shows how changing your thinking can indeed change your life. Drawing on the words and deeds of many of the world's greatest leaders and using interactive quizzes, this empowering book helps you assess your thinking style, guides you to new ones, and step by step teaches you the secrets of: Big-Picture Thinking -- seeing the world beyond your own needs and how that leads to great ideas. Focused Thinking -- removing mental clutter and distractions to realize your full potential. Creative Thinking -- stepping out of the "box" and making breakthroughs. Shared Thinking -- working with others to compound results. - Reflective Thinking -- looking at the past to gain a better understanding of the future ...and much more. Here America's most trusted and admired motivational teacher examines the very foundation of success and self-transformation. Illuminating and life-changing, Thinking for a Change is a unique primer not on what to think, but how to best use one of your most precious possessions: your mind.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Basing his latest book on the theory that "successful people think differently than unsuccessful people," Maxwell (author of bestselling The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and Running with the Giants) guides readers on the journey of mastering "good thinking" to achieve their personal and professional potential. Maintaining an encouraging tone and a down-to-earth writing style honed from his more than 30 previous titles, Maxwell details the impact and practical value of 11 kinds of thinking, including reflective, shared, creative, unselfish and big-picture. Useful tips, like how to discover your gifts through focused thinking, ways to break down complex issues with strategic thinking, and how to understand the value of examining the worst-case scenario through realistic thinking, characterize the author's surprisingly concrete lessons. The step-by-step format is bolstered by inspirational quotes, personal insights and high-profile anecdotal evidence about the likes of Priscilla Presley, George Lucas and George Washington Carver. Ending each chapter, emphasizing the discipline needed to think your way to the top, are exercises designed to evaluate and increase your personal progress in each area.

John Maxwell pens a challenge to organize information and strategically think in order to lead well in life. He posits that eleven principles will help create a new paradigm for thinking that parallels the thought filter of highly successful people. His eleven guiderails of thought are: 1) Big-Picture Thinking, 2) Focused Thinking, 3) Creative Thinking, 4) Realistic Thinking, 5) Strategic Thinking, 6) Possibility Thinking, 7) Reflective Thinking, 8) Questioning of Popular Thinking, 9) Participating in Shared Thinking, 10) Unselfish Thinking, and 11) Bottom-Line Thinking. This is an important read for every leader. I think anyone will enjoy the illustrations used to present the principles. For me, the illustration of Columbus sailing under the Flag of Isabella is incredible. Perhaps the motto change upon the flag best supports the mindset transformation that Maxwell is challenging his reader to. May we all move from “Ne Plus Ultra” to “Plus Ultra” as well.

In this read, you'll be securing a change of your thinking and mindsets. If you are open minded and do pursue change, John Maxwell is a marvelous teacher- mentor. He's a man who lives what he teaches. Thinking for a Change, implements basic skills and leads the reader into a deeper knowledge with understanding for success. We can surrender to the larger vision of business goals in confidence and skill with these tactics. John puts a check on our character, he shows us resolve in business challenges of growth. He offers deeper conscience thoughts for improvement and removes the conflict out of accountability. Not just theory, but walked out corporate successes. He is highly regarded.
I see everything through a different filter,now. It also takes the I can't into I can be a team player off the bench when the game changes. If you are a skilled business person, failing in some areas you lack understanding why in, you may find your self in here in the shadows of context. As always a good read to reread. I rebought this for my 30 something son, newly a entrepreneur . He's enjoying it immensely.

I absolutely agree with a part of a review another person wrote: "Maxwell describes eleven thinking process every person should utilize: big-picture thinking, focused thinking, creative thinking, realistic thinking, strategic thinking, possibility thinking, reflective thinking,critical thinking, shared thinking, unselfish thinking, and bottom-line thinking. He explains how these forms of thinking can empower you to fulfill your potential.". The whole idea is to provide you with ideas and paths that will enhance your thinking process, whatever that is.

Dr. John Maxwell challenges that we see, think, and do things. Thinking is one of the most difficult things to do, so that why so few people do it. They delegate or worse yet don't do it, and wonder why they are not getting what they want or need. Maybe, just maybe,. . . they haven't thought about what they want or need so when LIFE get in the way of THEIR life, they wonder why.

Read Thinking for a Change by Dr. Maxwell, to get some clarity in your thinking.

Very practical and encouraging

John Maxwell’s Thinking for A Change really encourages me to step out of the habits I’m in and believe change can come. It’s empowering because the change begins with something I already obtain...my brain. He tells lots of stories of successful people opening the door so we can see how they got to where they are.
