Think forward to thrive : how to use the mind's power of anticipation to transcend your past and transform your life
Jennice Vilhauer (Author)
"As psychologist Jennice Vilhauer worked with patients, she was often frustrated that the tools she'd been taught didn't help her clients more, that even after unearthing their pasts and understanding their patterns many still felt stuck. This led Vilhauer to discover a body of scientific work showing that it is the future that motivates us most. Crucial to this process is our sense that we have the ability to create positive outcomes.

The result is a groundbreaking direction in therapy and, more importantly, a transformative tool for readers"-- Provided by publisher
