“Excellent! Dispels the myths and provides the strategies for greater opportunity and fulfilment.”
Colin Turner, author of Born to Succeed and The Eureka Principle.

From the Back Cover:

Life is one long succession of ups and downs, and sometimes it seems the downs take over. Yet by developing a more optimistic outlook, you can breeze through the inevitable problems and setbacks, create opportunities for self-advancement, and get back on the path to happiness and fulfilment. In short – you can transform your life.

In 'More Positive Thinking', Peiffer helps you to let go of your fears and stop putting yourself down, take responsibility for your actions, and crucially have the courage to say 'NO'. This book uses simple, effective techniques as tools for success and satisfaction, and teaches us how to cope with problems in a constructive way.
