Summary: OPTIMAL THINKING PRODUCES OPTIMAL RESULTS
Comment: Optimal Thinking is a universal concept and revolutionary book that deals with the confusion generated by books which view negative thinking as evil and positive thinking as totally good. You learn where negative thinking is constructive and how to best deal with it when it is destructive. You also learn where positive thinking is advantageous and about shortcomings of positive thinking, and how to overcome them. Optimal Thinking is the resource you use to make the most of the present moment and all areas of life. I have read the book three times, and am now starting my fourth read. Each time I read it, I learn something new and put into practise in my life. I use the optimal roadmaps for emotional mastery, optimal communication and leadership. I love this book.

Summary: This book is a farse
Comment: Optimal Thinking is full of quotes by famous people and a lot of anectodal information but fails miserably in its intended purpose. I can not believe people are giving this book high ratings. The only explanation I can give is that those reviewers fell for the inspirational (marketing) theme of the book. Here's an excerpt from page 35:

"How to optimize simple decisions:

1. Define the problem
2. Define the time frame for the decision
3. Explore options for resolving the problem
4. Eliminate the options that are unrealistic
5. Examine (write down) the consequences of each option
6. Rate the pros and cons on a scale of 1 to 10
7. Determine which options are your best interest (add up numbers)..."

Please, are you going to do this every time you need to make a "simple" decision?

Even if you were, what is so optimal about this process? This book talks a lot about doing your best. The point is we are all doing our best all the time, yet we still have our problems.

This book is worthless in my opinion. Read all the reviews before wasting your money.
