Book

The Power of Negative Thinking: An Unconventional Approach to Achieving Positie Results

Author: Bob Knight

Genre: Non-fiction

Comments

Written as a rebuttal to the famous "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale, Knight touts the virtues of being "prepared to win." It's a quick read and will offer a look from the "half-empty" glass.

In my role, I have three to five audiences that I sometimes have to be prepared for and this book drove home that maybe I wasn't crazy preparing for every possible outcome. Many times I've enjoyed Coach Knight's no-nonsense approach, and the anecdotes illustrate the "method to his madness."
