“Transformative.”—Greg McKeown, New York Times bestselling author of Essentialism and Effortless
Change your mindset from problem-focused (“yes, but”) to opportunistic (“yes, and”) using omdenken, the Dutch art of flip thinking—from the bestselling author and founder of the omdenken philosophy.
Imagine this: You’ve got a great idea, and all you hear are the yes-buts.
“Yes, but that’s been tried before, and it didn’t work.”
“Yes, but shouldn’t we just let it sit for a while?”
“Yes, but what if it doesn’t work?”
Published in English for the first time, this international bestseller introduces the power of omdenken—or flip thinking—to transform stuck-in-the-mud, pessimistic thought into an inventive, curious mindset, so you can stop saying “yes, but” to life, and start saying “yes, and.”
In this riveting book, Berthold Gunster presents fifteen strategies to transform your thoughts away from limitations and negativities and towards possibilities and opportunities. From disrupting (turn all the rules upside down) to flaunting (play up what you want to hide), from importing (get the enemy on board) to amplifying (do more of what works), Gunster’s strategies and stories will have you approaching even the most challenging problems—whether an annoying neighbor or an angry colleague or an unhappy partner—in a whole new way.

      Changing "yes but" to "yes and" may be an overused trope in the personal-growth space, but in this audio a prolific Dutch author uses his theater background to give the advice a colorful new life. The core idea is that fighting with problem people or arguing with yourself about your own problems only hardens the issues. Instead, Gunster suggests embracing the realities, even exaggerating them, so that you're engaged with them, a strategy that actually provides more leverage for change. With his continental accent and perfect elocution, Boris Hiestand uses a mildly theatrical speaking style to give the production a jazzy, upbeat tone. It works well with the author's 15 creative strategies for getting away from limitations and negativity--and moving toward what's possible. T.W. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
