The Mood Elevator: Take Charge of Your Feelings, Become a Better You [16 Pt Large Print Edition]

by Larry Senn

The Mood Elevator Take Charge of Your Feelings, Become a Better You We all ride the Mood Elevator up and down every day. How well we do it impacts our relationship, our personal effectiveness, our career and our experience of life. Most people take that ride for granted and don't think it can be influenced. But what if we knew the right buttons to push to move to the top of the Mood Elevator. Wouldn't it be useful if there were proven ways to make visits to the lower floors less frequent and less intense? In this very practical guide, Larry Senn provides an operating manual to keep you out of the emotional basement. He shows how to recognize when you've become so accustomed to being stuck on a lower floor-depressed, stressed, anxious, judgmental-you don't even realize it and what to do to interrupt those negative thought patterns and start going up again. He urges us to cultivate mental attitudes like curiosity and gratitude that will keep us on the higher floors and explains how to quiet the mind and nurture positive thoughts without succumbing to Pollyannaish denial. And as someone who took up triathalons at the age of seventy, he speaks from experience when he emphasizes the inseparable connection between physical health and mental health. Through Senn's decades of work as a consultant, the Mood Elevator has been enthusiastically embraced by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. It symbolizes our moment-to-moment experience of life, encompassing a wide range of feelings. Together, these emotions play a major role in defining the quality of our lives and relationships and our effectiveness on the job. By sharing his work with a wider audience, Senn hopes to help all of us live life at our best.

дуже потужна й практична ідея про ліфт настрою та як ним керувати. усе написане можна було б викласти на 20-30 сторінках. Думаю, корисним буде час від часу перечитувати summary, але не цілу книгу.

[Tetyana Mandzyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

Поставила цій книзі високий рейтинг, не можу сказати, що буду перечитувати її, проте концепція ліфта настрою дуже символічна і практична. Ларрі Сенн вдало показує, як можна використовувати її на особистісному рівні, на на рівні організації (формування/зміна корпоративної культури). Він бере до уваги фокус роботи і сімейного життя.
Багато думок, висловлений в книзі, далеко не є новими, але все ж додатковий акцент на те, як наші думки формують наш настрій і що з цим можна робити вже сьогодні і самостійно, автор розкриває вдало.
Вдячність як найвищий рівень ліфта настрою, допитливість - так званий нуль, нижче якого ми починаємо переживати негативно забарвлені емоції.
Книга варта уваги, може бути провідником в світ емоцій, книгою самодопомоги, початком дослідження себе.
