Technical knowledge in American culture
"I can't do anything right" , "I really unlucky", "I'm stupid". Those were some of the things we say aloud about ourselves, but more importantly we keep repeating them when faced with difficulties in life. This book is basically an attitude corrector. After reading this book the above phrases should sound something like this: "I can do anything right, if I really want to do it" , "I'm the luckiest person on this earth" , "I'm a genius". Well, I might have exaggerated the above phrases, but we really should think in a positive way, that's what this book is trying to tell us.
One of greatest things about this book is that it gives you a step-by-step walkthrough to teach whatever concept or new trait it suggests you acquire. Not only that, it gives you real-world examples of people who used to have the same bad/good attitudes and what they did about it. At the end of each chapter of this book, there is a summar called "Attitude-Tune Up" that tells you briefly about what the chapter discussed.
Most importantly, after reading this book , you'll realize that attitude is everything indeed.
