what is the book about?

Attitude is a motivational and self-help book that teaches you that the direction of your life is determined not by your abilities, but by your attitude. The authors have written it in simple and friendly language. This book explains that whether it's your career, relationships, or your own development, everything depends on your attitude.

Everyone reading this book feels as if it was written for them. There are times in life when we feel like we can't see the path ahead. At those times, this book tells you not to stop, to keep going.

The book is divided into 5 main parts

Adam Ashton and Adam Jones have divided the book into five sections that touch on every aspect of life. Each part teaches you something new. For example, the Vision part helps you find your goals, while the Fear part teaches you how to deal with fear.

Why is the book special?

This book is special because it doesn't just talk big, but rather gives you practical ways to live your life. For example, if you're troubled by your fears, it shows you how to deal with them by breaking them down into smaller pieces.

The authors have taken inspiration from popular books like "The Alchemist" and "I Am Malala" and presented them in their own way. I especially enjoyed the concept of "The Slight Edge."

It explains that big changes start with small steps. This is crucial, because we often expect big successes but forget the small things, even though they are the very path to great success.

7 big lessons from the book

Those 7 lessons learned while reading the book, which are always useful in your life.

Clarify your dreams

Many times, people fail because they don't know what they want. Write down your dreams in a diary and think about them every day. Create a clear image of them in your mind.

Embrace change

Life is always changing. We must be prepared for it. If necessary, we should change ourselves. Give new things a chance and step out of your comfort zone.

Don't lose courage

Accept the fact that nothing in life is achieved without courage. Begin every new task with enthusiasm and confidence in yourself.

The power of small steps

This book explains the concept of "The Slight Edge." It means that small improvements lead to big results. Take a little step forward each day and be patient. Every big change starts with small steps.

40% rule

When you feel like you've reached your limit, you're actually only 40% tired. Push yourself a little more even when you're tired. This is a concept from the American Navy SEALs. Push yourself one more time even when you're tired. You still have plenty of energy left in you.

Being comfortable with discomfort

Sometimes things are difficult in life, but that's the beauty of life. So learn to embrace the difficulties.

It takes effort to know

Learning new things requires doing something new. Mistakes will be made, but that's where the learning will come from.

Be courageous and work

Never let fear get in the way of any task. Break free from it and do whatever you have to do, fearlessly and with full courage.

Every decision comes from a desire.

Whether it's a small thing or a big thing, it all starts with your desire. So cultivate a strong desire for that decision.

Knowledge means understanding all the paths

Each path has its advantages and disadvantages. Wisdom lies in understanding each option, its benefits, and its risks. Then, make a decision.
