The book Think Forward to Thrive by Jennice Vilhauer, PhD, has been my go-to source for understanding how the mind really works—and the impact it has on how I ended up with what I have, why I do what I do, and, more importantly, how I can better bring about what I want.
A-H-E-M? Yeah… you likely know about this idea already. It’s also known as manifesting or setting intentions. BUT—with a big BUT—these pages will help you understand how to make those adjustments by recognizing your thinking and how it directly impacts the life you’ve created up to now, and how to make it better.
When reading, it feels more like something written by a friend who wants to help and cheer me on. More like a manual than a book—one that helps me understand what makes my mind tick. Why do I think the way I think? Why do I believe what I believe? Why do things happen the way they happen? Dr. Vilhauer breaks down everything in an easy-to-understand format with relatable examples and helps guide you toward the positive changes you’ve been waiting (or needing) to make.
For anyone interested in improving their life—even in a small way—this guide will help you get started, even if you feel stuck. It doesn’t judge or make you feel “less than.” Instead, it takes you through the science behind why we think the way we think and why we get the results we get. It even answers questions you may never have thought to ask—but once you read it, you realize you’ve needed those answers all along.
And honestly, if you know someone who could really benefit from this book (and we likely all do)—or even just from the ideas in it—pass it on! Share what you learn. You never know how much it could help someone else move forward too.
