Summary

It seems we're all growing more negative. Bad news on the TV and in the papers makes us all feel fed up, and we find it easier to talk about what's wrong instead of looking for what's good.

But imagine knowing a simple trick that you could use to help you feel better about everything. No matter how bad, how upsetting, how annoying or how frustrating the situation, wouldn't it be great if you had the power to take it on and make it better?

Well, that simple trick does exist, and it's time to learn how to "Flip It".

This fantastic book will show you a different way of thinking, acting, feeling, and doing, whereby you can easily and simply get the very best out of every situation you find yourself in.

You'll learn straightforward techniques that you can use to make the bad times more bearable, the good times better than ever, and everyday life just, well, less "everyday".

Then, with a little practice, you'll learn how to Flip It swiftly, instantly and successfully to turn even the most pressing problems into the best possible experiences. And once you've learned to Flip It with ease, just like super-successful people have been doing for thousands of years, you'll find, at home and at work, your life is more fun, more successful, more rewarding and more positive. Embrace the power of the Flip It philosophy today and discover how brilliant it feels to shine and live your life full of positivity, possibility, and purpose.

Recommend this - a take on nlp

Very easy listen; Michael has a good voice, and interesting intonation - definitely worth a listen. I've read it too - and I've realized it has sunk in - as I do flip it - often!

a lot of fun, and inspiring to boot

The author does a brilliant job of reading his own work. It's fun to listen to, inspiring, gives lots of great ideas and makes you re-think many of your stock assumptions and reactions. One of the few audiobooks I re-listen to regularly just for the joy of it.

Yeah baby!

I'm big fan of Michael Heppell. His book 'How to be Brilliant' is one of my all time favourites so this was a hit before I'd heard a single word.

Life changing

Flip It is different. It's simple, down-to-earth, fun and far more motivating than most of its competition.

Rather than just listing adjectives, let me tell you about the differences it has made to my life. I've found that I'm more confident, energised and happy than I have been in a long time. I'm a natural introvert, but I've found that socialising has become easier and more pleasurable. On top of that, I feel more optimistic about the future than I can ever remember.

All of this in just 2 weeks.

Not all of the advice will suit everybody, but I recommend that you treat Flip It like a toolbox from which you choose the tools that work for you. Not all of the advice is totally original, and some of it may initially seem like nothing more than common sense. But the point is that when you put it into action, Flip It simply works! I've been keeping a blog since day 1 and reading it through today confirms the book's effectiveness.

Mercifully, the book is almost entirely devoid of spiritual or religious claptrap. Can you tell I'm a Richard Dawkins fan?! However, I'm sceptical about Michael's suggestion of asking a swinging chain a series of Yes/No questions in order to find lost possessions. I feel like I'm excessively nitpicking with that criticism. After all, there's just this one bit of advice that wasn't my cup of tea out of the dozens of brilliantly sparkling gems on offer.

I have the audio book version of Flip It, read by the author Michael Heppell himself. His enthusiasm and humour are infectious. I'd say it's definitely worth spending the few pence more for the audio book version. I have it on my phone so I can listen to it on the commute to work. Make sure you check that your phone or MP3 player is compatible with the Audible software before you buy.

Flip It has been the best ?6 I've ever spent. Hopefully your experience of it will be as positive as mine.

A bit repetitive

It's the flip it philosophy. Pretty good book but a bit repetitive. Could possibly get on peoples nerves. Lots of great advice if you can ignore the repetitions :)

"Flip It (Unabridged)".

I have read many of Michaels excellent books and have been inspired to do all sorts of things that I was avoiding. The problem I have is that I am a slow reader. This audio version was just great. It came at the right time January, when I wanted to have some new resolutions, I could play it in the car while driving and the delivery of the messages was crisp and to the point not laboured or dragged out in any way.The style was very much like Chris Evans audio book which I also enjoyed. Its so easy to listen to and the ideas all make sence. A must for anyone.

mediocre, doesn't set the world on fire

'Flip it' I confess to saying something similar when I finished listening to this! Most of the content is fine, but just a little bit on the obvious side for most people. I didn't enjoy this as some of the other more classical books available.
