"Mind Your Mindset" by Michael Hyatt and his daughter, Megan Hyatt Miller offers a practical approach to understanding and reshaping the stories we tell ourselves. The book explores the concepts that our mindsets, or the stories we continuously play in our minds, heavily influence our behaviors, decisions, and ultimately, our success.

One of the main strengths of the book is the fact that has lots of actionable advice. It doesn't just outline the importance of mindset but provides concrete steps to identify negative narratives and replace them with empowering ones. The authors use relatable examples and personal stories to show how shifting one's mindset can lead to significant life changes.

The book is also an easy read and very understandable. The writing is clear and engaging, making complex psychological concepts easy to grasp. However, some readers might find that the concepts discussed are somewhat familiar if they’ve already explored other works on mindset or cognitive psychology.

Overall, "Mind Your Mindset" is a valuable read for anyone looking to gain better control over their thoughts and, by extension, their life outcomes. It’s particularly useful for individuals who feel stuck or are facing challenges that seem insurmountable, offering a fresh perspective on how to overcome these obstacles by changing their internal narratives.

Concrete advice on how to shape your thinking so that you can live a happy life. I don’t know if I would call anything groundbreaking but it was a good book and well laid out.

retrain your inner narrator! This book is full of useful information from the author. Spending time with different people and living life fearlessly are useful lessons that we should all take more seriously!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book!

Well-written, but not a lot of actionable recommendations. There also wasn’t a lot I haven’t read in other books, articles, or online resources over the past couple of years.

This would be a great intro to mindset management for those new to business or new to the concept.

A great book for anyone who suffers from anxiety or PTSD. I found it very helpful and will definitely recommended to friends !

Another great book from Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller. I have been an avid reader of all books published by Full Focus but still didn't seem to be able to break the ceiling. I was productive but the stories I was telling myself held me back. Megan and Michael's book provides great, actionable advice how to identify, interrogate and imagine alternatives. The book is written in plain English and very easy to understand and follow. Thank you Megan and Michael for another great book! I now have another tool in my toolbox to continue advancing my goals.

I love a good mindset book. Nothing makes me happier than a personal development book that I don’t want to put down and in some places this book was that for me.

We don’t often realize how powerful our brain is in formulating our belief system. What we say and what we believe to be true really does impact us in our day to day lives.

The author gives some great steps on how to work through some common mindsets and gives great examples of how they impact our lives.

I truly enjoyed his perspective and love how he brought in science backed evidence for the mindset issues we often face.

I enjoyed this book and think it will help me improve my mindset. The summary section helped drive home the points to remember. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their mindset and attitude.

I've been a fan of Michael Hyatt for many years and have most of his other books. So I was keen to read Mind Your Mindset, but was apprehensive that it may be too similar to Soundtracks by Jon Acuff. It wasn't.

This book focuses on how our mindset impacts our view of the world, specifically our own situation. And if we can see the situation differently we will be open to more creative solutions that help us achieve our goals.

"Our potential is bound only by our imagination. When we break free from the stories that limit our potential we drive progress and achievement."

I think there are lots of practical tips in the book. I will be looking back over the notes I've taken, so I can consider how I adapt the concepts into my journaling process. This should be easy, as there are already questions included in the book through their self coaching exercise.

This insightful book will challenge to really examine how and why you think the way you do. The authors do a fantastic job of providing relatable life experience with science to back up what they are saying. This book is easy to follow along with and gives great practical advice for how to change your way of thinking and be more intentional with your thoughts. It is so easy to fall into old patterns and believe lies we've continually told ourselves, but Megan and Michael show you how you can redefine yourself by being conscious of the words in your head. I will be referring back to this book often as I continue to work on my mental well-being.

Great book. In a time like this, it has become so critical that all of us consider our mindset and the affect our inner thoughts have on our mental health. Readers will learn the role of our mindset and the brain’s abilities to create stories to explain details and situations. Some stories are more or less true than others. The challenge is to confront our narrators and to separate fact from fiction.The stories we use to interpret the world can help us but they may also hold us back. We must do the work and understand the stories we tell ourselves.

Thank you Baker Books and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!

I was drawn to the title of this book, and have been thinking a lot about personal mindset changes that I need to make. I was so excited to be approved to read this!
I really enjoyed all the detailed research that was put into this book. Reading through the research and personal experiences of both authors, it will help guide you on how to readjust your thought patterns. This book was both inspiring and encouraging.
This one quote really stuck with me: "Achieving our goals and experiencing the results we desire comes down to working with the people in our lives and the constantly changing circumstances we find ourselves in."
I learned a lot of great information from this book, and highly recommend!

This was an excellent book. It's well worth a read. I found it to be helpful with the summary areas and workbook.

This is not a Bible study nor an overtly Christian book. But as I read Mind Your Mindset, I read it with a Christian lens. Throughout the book, I was reminded of Bible passages that speak of the importance of our thoughts. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, we’re told to “take every thought captive to obey Christ.” Philippians 4:8 says to fix our thoughts on “true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable” things.

I thought these passages meant I needed to control my thinking: think “good” things and don’t think “bad” things. It sounded simple, but it wasn’t. Nagging fears persisted. Some thoughts popped up out of nowhere, it seemed. And some thinking wasn’t as simple as “good” or “bad” on the surface. I understood that my thoughts had an impact on how I felt and the choices I made, but there were areas in my life that didn’t have the victory I knew I could have in Christ—despite my best efforts of thinking “good” thoughts.

In reading Mind Your Mindset, I not only found a method for digging deeper into my thinking but also a better way to capture my thoughts. Instead of trying to control myself by sheer willpower, I am evaluating my thinking at a deeper level, distinguishing fact from emotion and perspective, and telling myself a better story—a story that is rightly directing my beliefs, emotions, and choices. This shift requires humility, community, and a willingness to make a change.

I have already benefitted from the book, and I have loads of my own stories to reevaluate. Mind Your Mindset is a beautiful mix of geeky brain information with practical application. If you want to learn how to change your life by changing your thinking, this book is a great start.

Mind Your Mindset starts off with a bang— one of the authors, Megan Miller, and her husband adopted two toddlers from Uganda. The boys, understandably, had trust and behavioral issues. Megan and her husband try all the typical ways they know of to help the boys, but none succeed. However, Megan and her husband then discover a therapist who specializes in TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention). Apparently this is the KEY to helping the boys overcome their early trauma! Great! I settle in to hear what Megan and her husband did, and what exactly TBRI is... only, it never comes. The boys are telling themselves harmful (and extremely vague) "stories" about themselves... but then it segues into Michael telling himself "stories" about why sales were down at his publishing company and... on and on... we never hear what helped the boys. The whole book goes like that.

There's some decent stuff in here but I found the narrative to be all over the place and difficult to follow. It also seems more geared towards helping you in your work environment rather than your life environment. I just reviewed Mind Your Mindset by Michael Hyatt; Megan Hyatt Miller. #MindYourMindset #NetGalley

In a quest to improve my professional life, this book showed me how to improve all aspects of my life.
The power of the narrator of your story was a new insite for me. Learn like I did about how what you remember things could be a false story. I learned how to interrogate those old stories that limited my life to open up the power of what I am truly capable of.
I highly recommend this read (Listen) to anyone looking to better their thoughts and inturn, all aspects of their life.

There is research that finds one’s mindset correlates to productivity and life success. In this book, the authors use their real life experiences coupled with their vast knowledge to breakdown how our thoughts and the stories we tell ourselves influence our lives. The writing style is that of sitting down with a friend making the complex ideas seem easily understandable and actionable to make those changes in one’s life. Adding to the content is the inclusion of tools to kick start the transformation. No matter where you are in your life, be it a leader or someone who is struggling, this book may be just what you need to turn your thoughts around and give you that impetus to change…it may just come down to reframing your thoughts. Take a chance and see what can happen. I highly recommend this book.

This book takes a deep dive into the science of how our brains work. Hyatt and Miller spend extensive time early in the book reviewing research as they tell their own stories and the impact their thinking had on the outcomes.

For many people they are going to love this deep dive into data. I personally didn't need all of it.
What I really enjoyed about this book is when they talked about The Narrator. That voice in our heads that tells us the story of what happened and what will happen. The Narrator often lies. I also enjoyed the process of interrogating the Narrator to get to the truth of the situation. For those of us that pre-ordered the book we receive a “self-coaching” guide. But the process is more or less detailed in the book.
Having spent over 30 years working in Higher Education I appreciated the extensive bibliography which they called Further Readings. It allows anyone to dig deeper into a specific aspect that was covered in the book.

Hyatt and Miller did a great job pulling together a lot of research into a digestible and understandable book that includes ideas on how to fix your thinking and be more successful.

I have been trying forever it seems to reach the weight goal I set for myself. I’ve tried tracking my food, racking up the Zone minutes on my Fitbit, joined accountability groups and even paid for online challenges thinking surely if I pay I will do this. But something always seems to get in my way.

Mind Your Mindset helped me see the real problem is my thinking. Basically, I've been getting in my own way. The lie I’ve believed is a story that says "You know you always gain back the weight you lose." That is the voice of my Narrator. I named her Gaye with and e because she can be quite feisty at times. The book showed me how to search out the false stories I believe, shine a light on them and write a new script that serves me better. I would highly recommend reading it if you keep setting goals every year but never quite reach them. Is the common denominator, YOU? Actually it's your stories.

Some books I've bought would just say focus on the goal, set your why, and give meal/exercise plans. I would show some success initially but then Gaye would pop up and somehow that translated into missed exercise sessions or snacking in the eating in front of the TV. This book showed me how to find the story that's holding me back. I was really interested in learning the science behind the way the mind works. It's made it a little more clear to me why I haven't succeeded....yet.

My favorite quote from the book was "If the only thoughts you are willing to think are the ones you currently have, then the only results you'll get are the ones you are getting.

Now I know to separate the facts from my assumptions. Then I can use that data to better my habits and my thinking. I can become the person who does what she says she's going to do.

I appreciated the eye-opening revelation of a pattern I discovered within myself while reading Mind Your Mindset. I understand now how I have created my own narrative when I did not understand circumstances around me and how potentially damaging it has been.
I observed in myself a thought pattern while helping to launch a digital product. I heard my narrator telling myself all the reasons I was going to fail. Upon recognizing my thoughts, I told myself I need a new story here. I shifted and instead ask myself, “What can I do?” From there forward I stayed focused on what steps I needed to take, instead of dwelling on all the reasons I might fail.
I recommend this book for anyone who desires to make even a small shift in their thinking. It is loaded with examples to encourage and motivate the reader.
