How to Change the Way You Think by Amy Sharp is about how to change your life and stop letting negative thoughts go into our mind. The author explains how we should start doing things that make us happy and she also talks about finding the real version of yourself. She talks about how we should do a top 5 list that we think is easy and make our dreams come true. She talks about her experience when she was a child, how she had a tough life with her sister when they were kids. She lost her sibling due to illness, her sister was in a wheelchair and she was the only person who helped her sister. Her parents didn’t care about them and they both had anger issues. After her parents got a divorce, she and her sister were the only people taking care of each other. On the other hand, she talks about the relationship with money , how people get jealous or struggles with it. Sometimes people might say “that’s so expensive, I could never afford that,” that is a negative statement. However, you should learn that uttering a simple and uplifting sentence can do two things like it can help keep your energy positive which is very important and it can spark an important change of thought in the other person. Finally, she talks about how we need to accept people in our life. She talks about how she was getting better and better everyday. She found a new person and that person made her so happy that she never felt this way before. After having depression, she didn’t think she would find someone who would make her happy, but she did. Years later, she was getting happier, healthier and better.
I really recommend this book because it is helpful, positive and healthy. This book can help or change people’s lives by finding the real version of themselves, it can also help what to do when you struggle with money and also how to accept people in your life. I think this book is incredible and I loved it. This can be also relatable to some people because we also had a tough childhood, we struggled with money, and how we bring ourselves down while we let negative thoughts mess our mind.

How to Change the Way You Think: Your Journey to Finding Happiness — Amy T. Sharp (11 titled chapters) April 15-16, 2021
This book was not at all what I thought it would be like. The first few chapters felt like I being bombarded with a list of questions that started with “Do you…?” It then went off the rails around chapter 7, when the author spends it talking about her past, which I felt was more confidentially spoken.
The chapters after that got very gendered pronoun like. She specifically mentions husbands as though everyone is married to a husband. The author may have been better to opt for a word such as partner or significant other instead. For, you know, inclusivity and all.
Almost everything else I read in this book I have read before, and most of them I do use.
Maybe this book is better for brand new low self-esteem readers.
It did not benefit me.
Two stars.

While the book had some good advice on how tho change the way you think, to think more positively, it was just hard for me to read bigger sections in one sitting. I also had a hard time remembering what I read after reading a chapter or two.

this good shares life of author, but fails to give effective strategy to implement. It is more of a accumulation of ideas from other books to me. Would not recommend.

Not my favorite. I get more out of reading inspirational quotes on Instagram. This could be helpful for someone who could benefit from a short read about someone else’s experience.

Author mentioned her personal experiences too much. Quick read, but could have been better

quick & easy read. a little financially privileged in wording at times. i was in a bit of a slump when i stumbled upon this one and although it wasn’t much i haven’t heard before, it was a nice reminder that you have more control than you think.

I have read a few books like these, and I really don’t understand what people get out of them. This book is basically ‘the secret’ but focuses on one individual, the author discusses her own journey and thought processes, using her personal experience to ‘prove’ how powerful thoughts really are. She actually says that The Secret is what inspired her to begin living this way, and that influence is very clear throughout. There are a few points in this that I agree with, my issue with it is that it takes the point too far. I agree that our thoughts can influence our actions and therefore our circumstances, however the author is also talking about the law of attraction in a mystical/completely out of human control way, which I don’t agree with and comes across quite close minded and privileged. Despite describing her own struggles, she describes all negative events being wished into existence, making them the individuals fault - I don’t think that all negative (or positive) events can be simplified to this.
This book also advises that you never talk about negative things, in order to avoid prolonging the negativity or infecting others with it - an idea I find to be unhelpful and potentially dangerous, people need to discuss their feelings and situations. Another thing she said which I found odd, is that before doing anything you should set intentions for it, even going as far as setting intentions for every conversation that you have. This eradicates any ounce of spontaneity or natural interaction, which I don’t see as positive.
This book lacks critical thinking, and the few things it says which I agree with are basic and can be found in the context of much better books.
