Think Before You Think is about why you do what you do. It is about: • why you are happy in one moment, miserable the next and elated in another • why the rich get richer, sick get sicker and lucky get luckier. It is about: • understanding how you live in an artificially created reality • how to exit the matrix, your mind creates by thoughts and emotions • how to find clarity, confidence, and connection in your life and business. Think Before You Think explains why: • it’s not WHAT you do • it’s not HOW you do It’s all about how you THINK and FEEL. ‘It’s not the things in your life, it’s your thinking behind the things that shapes your destiny.’ – Harish Gulati

The quotes in this book are designed to help you avoid self-imposed adversities by always thinking first of your options before your actions, in order to avoid permanent irreversible adverse consequences. The choices you make or fail to make will always impact the outcome of your future. A thousand thoughts before you act, is better than a thought after the fact, because it will be too late to react. Too many people impose adverse consequences on themselves and others by failing to think before they act. When you create a world of hate, you create a world stage for others to react in kind. You should always be mindful of your irreversible social media content before it is sent because it will be too late to retract after the fact. You will always have failure when you resort to inappropriate behavior. The best way to avoid self-imposed adversities is to think before you act, because your adverse past will always last, and impact the outcome of your future. When the gun becomes your voice it always sends a deadly message with innocent victims paying the ultimate price because of your gun vice. Distracted driving cost too many lives whether your own or others unknown. Stop and think before you indulge in this victimization process. If you wait for the fall to feel the pain, you have had one too many preventable falls. You will always increase your separation gap with others when you burn your bridges in life. When you think the world is all about you, you only become an island on to yourself. When you think you are too big to fail, remember the Titanic ship's last sail. For additional self-preservation guidance, refer to adversity avoidance tips.
The world is full of problems and conflicts. So why can we not solve them? According to Edward de Bono, world thinking cannot solve world problems because world thinking is itself the problem. And this is getting worse: we are so accustomed to readily available information online that we search immediately for the answers rather than thinking about them. Our minds function like trying to drive a car using only one wheel. There's nothing wrong with that one wheel - conventional thinking - but we could all get a lot further if we used all four... De Bono examines why we think the way we do from a historical perspective and uses some of his famous thinking techniques, such as lateral thinking, combined with new ideas to show us how to change the way we think. If we strengthen our ability and raise our thinking level, other areas of our life - both personal and business success - will improve. De Bono is the master of the original big 'concept' book and his enticement to us to use our minds as constructively as possible should appeal to a whole new generation of fans.
