book: What To Say When You Talk To Your Self

This book has very similar philosophy to techniques of Tony Robbins,
while providing a bit more "scientific", while simple, explanations.

What To Say When You Talk To Your Self - Kindle edition by Helmstetter, Shad. Self-Help Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D., is the best-selling author of more than a dozen books in the field of personal growth. 

quotes from the book

  • The more you think about yourself in a certain way,
    the more you will think about yourself in that same certain way!

  • The human brain will do anything possible you tell it to do,
    if you tell it often enough and strongly enough!

  • The brain simply believes what you tell it most.
    And what you tell it about you, it will create. It has no choice.




Life is driven by programming, conditioning.
Bad programs, bad life.
Best change: by self-talk


  1. Thoughts turn into electrical impulses, which in turn become actions.
  2. To create the life we want, we must take a step back and reprogram our mind.
  3. Understanding how self-talk works is the first step to reprogramming your mind.


Chapter 8: 5-steps sequence that controls our success or failure

1. Behavior: what we DO or do NOT DO; our ACTIONS determine our RESULTS
in most cases, right actions produce right results
WHY we do what we do, or we do not do? The reason is...

2. Feelings: every action we take is filtered by our feelings, what we do and how well we do it.
WHAT creates the feelings? It is by accident? The feeling are determined by...

3. Attitudes: the perspective how we see our life. Good or bad.
Good attitude is essential for achievement of any kind.
WHERE we get our attitude? Are we born with it? The attitudes are controlled by...

4. Beliefs: what we believe affects our attitude
It does not need to be true, we just need to believe that it is true
to affects us, our attitudes => feelings => actions => results
If you believe or not in yourself will affect your results, will become true for you.
WHAT makes us believe? Is it handed to us, or we create it ourselves? Beliefs are created by...

5. Programming: we believe what we are "programmed" to believe, our conditioning
Does not matter if it is true or false, right or wrong, its result is what we "believe".
What we are fed from outside world is creating natural "cause and effect" sequence.

Programming => Beliefs => Attitudes => Feelings => Actions => Results

So to change results, we need to start with self-programming!
