    Useful Belief... Because it's better than Positive Thinking
    This presentation is a game changer in the field of motivation and
    performance. For years, people have been told to try and be “positive”. The reality is that when most people try this they are unable to sustain it and end up feeling worse than when they started out.

It is not about being “positive”, but rather asking questions of yourself such as, “What is the most useful thing to believe about this situation?” and “What is the most useful thing that I could do today to get me closer to where I want to be?” Positive thinking is about a feeling, while Useful Belief is all about
    “action”.

    • Alter the approach and be more effective when tackling tasks
    • Give a new framework to help improve the focus of your time and
      energy

    Books by Chris Helder:

    Useful Belief

    Positive thinking has had its time — the new way of overcoming life’s challenges is USEFUL BELIEF.

    Useful Belief turns the “be positive” industry upside down with a fresh and modern approach to achievement. Sometimes things in life are not positive. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. If you’ve had a nightmare of a year, the last thing you want to hear is “Be positive!” Instead, you need an actual strategy to dig yourself out, and a truly useful guidebook to show you where to go next. This is that guidebook.

    Through the engaging tale of a business traveller and the three significant encounters on his journey, this book takes you on a journey of your own — to self awareness, and an improved approach to business, parenting and relationships. You’ll learn how thinking “useful” is better than thinking “positive”, and you’ll uncover the utility of your past, present and future challenges. You’ll undergo a major shift in the way you solve your problems, and you’ll learn how to navigate your way out of ambiguity and toward success.
