THINK STRAIGHT: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life

The author offers a simple insight into the world of human thoughts and how to process them so that they help us execute things in everyday life with greater ease. These are things we know; but unless we put them into practice, they are of no use. Extremely useful and a hand guide to help humans think clearly. Highly recommended read.More Love and LightLakshmi 🪷

I'd posted a review a while back but was rejected by amazon saying I shared a third-party link. That party link was from goodreads, which is currently owned by Amazon itself. LOL! 🤪 I posted the entire book review copy-pasted from that site below.Product-wise the book is made of cheap materials as expected from price category and is a steal for the buck. However, byte-size reassuring chapters of this book is good for quick read. Price was 134₹ back in January 30th but increased to 149₹ now(March 20).My review on goodreads:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A self-help book. Was recommended by our manager during a recent scrum call.This one is a quick read. Or can be read slowly or read as reference whenever required.This book is short and to the point. Very few scientific papers mentioned in this book. Chapters are lectures from personal experience.Book can be treated as ready reckoner or refresher after reading bigger self-books like "Thinking, Fast and Slow " by Daniel Kahneman, or one of the books on pragmatic thinking mentioned by the author of this book at the end.Last year, I'd read "Autopilot: The Art & Science of Doing Nothing" by Andrew Smart. It emphasized the time to relax and let the brain do the thinking. He emphasized the "Default Mode Network", that gets activated when we're idle. This idea is briefly surfaced, though not exactly, on chapters like "No More Quick Decisions." But majority of chapters in THINK STRAIGHT are against trusting what mind tells you without scientific backing.At the end of the book, the author has ridiculed scientific theories as useless to day-to-day life and even suggested that scientists have "wasted their time on abstract ideas and theories." This was a quote by William James in 19th century who has not witnessed the prowess of theoretical physicists and their applications of theories in 20th century. Including such quotes will lead to wrong impression of thinking minds like scientists and philosophers for the future generations. Granted, scientific theories are not useful for day-to-day life and also his audience, but there are others who are knowledge workers and need their mind to work a lot. Shouldn't give an outdated opinion demoralizing a section of society, who's work might be beneficial to human society and planet earth indirectly.Will go through this book again for general motivation on training the brain to focus on important things, though I don't agree with some parts of the book.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its amazing in way books and author explained in the bookThats most simplest book to read to align on your thought and manage instead control your brainI would use it to manage my brain instead controlingI refer this to every one who is up for action but does not have a starting point or a freind to get what to doI got blessed to get this book which was lying in my kindle store for a long time and in just 1.5 days i finished it so you see if a lazzy person like me found it interesting to change the way i work you can do tooThe night i started reading the book it also started taking it into action and next day (sunday) was the most self productive day i had after a long time where i only worked on my self

A quick and useful read if one is an over thinker. Recommended if you need some motivation to stop worrying and start doing

Think Straight by Darius Foroux is the first book I’ve read, and it has been a transformative experience. Every page I turned gave me a moment of realization, making me pause and reflect on my own thoughts and decisions.The book’s core idea is simple yet powerful: our thoughts shape our lives, and by thinking clearly, we can make better decisions, reduce stress, and live a more meaningful life. Foroux presents practical insights on decluttering the mind, avoiding overthinking, and focusing on what truly matters. His writing is straightforward, making complex ideas easy to understand and apply in daily life.What I loved most about this book is its ability to create self-awareness. As I read, I found myself questioning my own thought patterns and recognizing where I had been holding myself back. The book doesn’t just offer theories; it provides actionable advice that I could implement immediately.If you're someone who struggles with overthinking or wants to improve clarity in decision-making, Think Straight is a must-read. It’s a book that doesn’t just give knowledge but encourages real change in how we approach life.⭐ Rating: 5/5
