A free digital copy of my short book on why "just think positive" actually works: the model behind it, in plain English, in one sitting.

You have heard “just think positive” for years. So have I.
It usually sounds trite, and it does not tell you how.
I spent two decades in clinical psychology finding the how. It comes down to two things your mind is always doing: evaluating what is, and imagining what is to be. Once you can see that process, positivity stops being a slogan and starts being something you can actually use.
That is what this book hands you in about 60 pages and 11 short chapters: the model, not the mantra.
What the 11 chapters cover:
This is a short book, not a lecture: the kind you can read in one sitting and keep coming back to.
- Why “what it is” feels the way it does.
- The comparison your mind is already running, whether you notice it or not.
- The two things your mind does with every situation.
- Evaluation, and creation, and why the order between them matters.
- Why the same fact can feel like good news or bad news
- depending only on what you compare it to.
- The “tools” your mind is using right now,
- and the difference between using them and misusing them.
- The Positivity Vector.
- The one pattern that predicts whether you build a mess or a masterpiece from any situation.
I'm Dr. Paul Jenkins.
I've spent more than 30 years in clinical practice, and this book is the model I still use with my own coaching clients today, and the one behind the 60-minute keynote it was built from. How your mind actually works, laid out so you can use it on purpose. This one's free because most people who read it come back later for the daily practice, Positives, that keeps the model in front of them. The book stands on its own either way.
