Goodreads asked Jason Hyland:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jason Hyland Stop Thinking Like That derived from my journal entries in the early days of recovery. One night I switched from typical journaling to writing a story about what the first 2 hours of my mornings while enthralled in a life of addiction were spent. That story brought to light an innate ability I didn't know I held and showed me there is more that needed to come out.

I started with the idea of having each chapter detail a characteristic / trait needed to overcome massive adversity. That idea, which I have all written down in one of my original notebooks, soon transformed into my part memoir / part self-help / part motivational & inspirational book.

Stop Thinking Like That is NOT a book about ME. I interview others who've overcome great hardship to living a life full of abundance, as well as reference nearly a dozen classic personal development books that helped me find myself in those early stages in recovery.

This book is for ALL because no one is exempt from life's adversities.
