Shift: The Art of Transforming Limitations

by Nick Egan

Obstacles and challenges don’t have to be accepted as “just the way it is.” Growth and lasting change are possible. But the solution isn’t external—it’s all about shifting internal mindsets.

In Shift, Nick Egan shows how to improve organizational leadership and personal and professional development by dismantling mental limitations and reclaiming freedom and flexibility. Combining studies in psychology and Buddhist philosophy, he demonstrates how to:

• Deconstruct stories to open paths to progress
• Understand interconnectivity to expand potential
• Reframe difficulties as opportunities
• Eliminate useless ideas to embrace positive solutions
• Reduce addiction to urgency to increase productivity
• Practice patience to avoid frustration
• Achieve a “flow state” to transform your experience

Filled with practical exercises and invaluable advice, Shift can help anyone meet challenges effortlessly, develop positive lifelong habits, and create a world of limitless possibility.

It was okay. It had a lot of good information, nothing ground-shaking I hadn't read before, but aimed more for business / work environments.

This book is about stories and changing your story. I wasn't expecting that. It's interesting but not very helpful. The examples used are too simple and easy. The book talks about making small changes. It's pretty much about making shifts in your thoughts, from being close minded to open-minded. I thought each exercise at the end of the chapter would be different but they're all really similar about breathing and meditation. I didn't find it helpful and I wouldn't recommend it.

I forget how I was pointed towards this book, but allow me to pay it forward and point out, in my experience , it’s really the only way things change. Reframe it. There are some difficult to comprehend exercises at the end of each chapter, and I look forward to trying to implement them. Thanks for sharing, past Recommender.

Shifting your perspective is one of the easiest things you can do to change your life, and I love how this book focuses in on that and combines it with a unique approach. It's a nice break from the same old normal, mindset type book.

Balanced, potent and insightful

I really enjoyed the grounded perspective and carefully curated stories to support the points of each chapter. This book is to the point and offers exercises in each chapter to reinforce the learnings. Excellent book!
