Listen "Thinking for Results"
Episode Synopsis
Christian D. Larson's bookThinking for Results, originally published in 1912, is a self-help book emphasizing the power of positive thinking to achieve desired outcomes. The book argues that a person's thoughts directly shape their reality, advocating for "scientific thinking"—a purposeful, systematic approach to thought that aligns with natural laws. Larson outlines key mental attitudes, such as peace, poise, harmony, and aspiration, to cultivate this scientific thinking. He stresses the importance of focusing on positive mental states, avoiding negative self-talk and purposeless thinking, to achieve personal growth and success. Finally, a publisher's note explains the book's online availability and warns against unauthorized sales.
