Jon Acuff Books

When Jon Acuff's book Soundtracks, came out, one reaction surprised him. Parents across the country all said the same thing: "Do you have a version for teenagers? If I knew how to change my mindset when I was that age, my entire life would have been different." Why did they say that? Because truth grows like compound interest. Saving money when you're young has a bigger impact than it does when you save in your 40s. A single new soundtrack--Acuff's phrase for a repetitive thought--believed when you're 14 or 18 can change your whole life in the same way. In response, Acuff tagged his two daughters to help him create an honest, actionable guide to mindset for teenagers. Your thoughts can work for you or against you, but the good news is you get a choice. The even better news is when you're young, your entire world is made of new. You're a movie that's barely started, a notebook with blank pages to fill, a song that hasn't hit the chorus. You have your whole life ahead of you. When you learn to create new thoughts, those thoughts lead to actions, and those actions lead to new results. Are you ready to tap into the superpower of mindset? Just hit play.

Popular speaker and New York Times bestselling author takes a refreshingly honest and humorous look at overthinking--identifying what it masquerades as (being prepared), calling it what it really is (fear), and offering a simple plan to turn it from a super problem into a superpower.

Wall Street Journal best-selling author Jon Acuff reveals the steps to getting unstuck and back onto the path of being awesome. Over the last 100 years, the road to success for most everyone has been divided into predictable stages. But three things have changed the path to success: Boomers are realizing that a lot of the things they were promised aren't going to materialize, and they have started second and third careers. Technology has given access to an unprecedented number of people who are building online empires and changing their lives in ways that would have been impossible years ago. The days of "success first, significance later," have ended. While none of the stages can be skipped, they can be shortened and accelerated. There are only two paths in life: average and awesome. The average path is easy because all you have to do is nothing. The awesome path is more challenging, because things like fear only bother you when you do work that matters. The good news is "Start" gives readers practical, actionable insights to be more awesome, more often.

Der US-Bestseller von Jon Acuff zeigt, wie wir schlechte Gedanken loswerden, eine Playlist unserer positiven Gedanken erstellen und im Alltag sowie im Berufsleben glücklicher und produktiver werden. Es gibt Gedanken, die wird man einfach nicht los. Man grübelt und grübelt, spielt Situationen in allen denkbaren Facetten durch, kommt aber doch zu keinem Ergebnis. Das ist belastend, kostet Zeit, hemmt die Kreativität und hält einen von den wirklich wichtigen Dingen ab. Wie man diesem negativen Gedankenkarussell entkommt und wieder Kontrolle über seine Gedanken gewinnt, weiß Jon Acuff. Er liefert einen bewährten Plan, mithilfe dessen man seine Gedankenwelt mittels einer persönlichen »Playlist« guter Gedanken positiv beeinflusst und seine vermeintliche Schwäche des ständigen Überdenkens in eine Stärke verwandelt. Die Lösung ist, nicht mit dem Denken aufzuhören, sondern dem Gehirn seine liebsten Gedanken »zuzuspielen«. Denn nur derjenige, der es schafft, seine Gedanken positiv zu beeinflussen, lernt, kreativer, beschwingter und erfolgreicher durch das Leben zu gehen, und wird mehr erreichen.
