The best and most important thing you can give yourself (and others) is your mindset.

In Be the Thermostat: How to Change Your Mindset to Succeed at Work & Life, personal growth enthusiast Utah Reed offers tips, lessons, and challenges to change your mindset. Success starts with kindness and by treating yourself, and others, better.

Utah Reed has made it her life’s mission to change her manifesto, and to help others do the same. She shares stories and the personal struggles she faced as an office manager in a high-stress and often negative work environment. She uses stories from her own success with her health, her challenging relationships, and her long-term healthy marriage. Each chapter focuses on a keyword and an acrostic with lessons and tips on how to apply that principle and overcome destructive behaviors to claim the superpower of a positive mindset.

Be the Thermostat by Utah Reed is a great introduction to self-help and mindset work.

I had first heard the phrase "Be The Thermostat" from Ed Mylett and he had a slightly different take on it. I like the author's perspective and how she explains the concept.

This was a good introduction to mindset and I would recommend it to someone who is just getting started working on mindset. This is an easy read and felt like a conversation.

I'm so grateful to Utah Reed, BooksGoSocial, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

This book felt like a friendly one sided advice session which was being held between an experienced person imparting their expertise and wisdom to the next generation. Utah Reed has through her own life experiences created a book about how with the right positive mindset we can also achieve success and enjoy a good life. The chapters are short and sometimes a few of the stories are repeated but with the keyword on which it is based it made perfect sense and I enjoyed the book.
Thank you Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review

For the past 5 years, I spent a lot of time working on my mindset and developing a positive non-toxic attitude towards life that's why when I found this book on Netgalley I didn't think twice before getting it. Sadly, this book did not meet my expectations. First, it did not teach me anything new. This might not be the book's problem but mine. Maybe it's about time that I stop reading this type of books because I almost know everything about these topics and the books are starting to repeat themselves. That's why I still think that this book might be a good introduction for people who have never read self developement books before. Second, I didn't like the format this book was written in. Although it looked cool at first sight, I felt like sometimes the chapter's idea did not need all those breakdowns. Sometimes it was so repetitive and it made me feel that some pages were just there to fit into the format of the book (those who read the book will understand what I am saying). Other than that, there is a lot of mistakes and I am someone who gets easily distracted by that. Overall, it was a decent experience and I have no regrets.
