I have read many books about the power of transforming bad habits or replacing negative patterns with positive ones.
Ryder’s book, Positive Directions, is a fresh look at the reasoning behind these habits and offers real
insight and help in transforming one’s life patterns. I really appreciated his many years of studying the psychology
of the mind. With his book it is possible to put this information into use and make it work. He adds that it is
important to listen to our higher mind and change our normal coping strategies. The reason old "tried and true"
coping mechanisms don’t work for us is because they are built on faulty reasoning, says Ryder. We want instant
gratification. By delaying gratification we learn to address our lower needs and then are able to concentrate on
our higher needs or consciousness.
If we refocus our attention on positive things and don’t let negative energy keep us from changing polarity, we
can be free of the emotions that sap our energy and cause ill health. Ryder's mission is to offer the key to
unlocking us from negative experiences that keep us from using positive energy.
Ryder’s book is all about changing polarity and shifting gears.
He offers real answers to questions you have asked for years about why you can’t change. One theory he suggests
is that negativity is designed to cause one to react and flee, but instead we succumb because of our life experiences.
If we can change how we react to stress we can strategize new ways to handle those negative emotions and shift our
attention to more positive opportunities.
This is a must read for everyone interested in balancing their lives and learning how to keep that balance. We
all get angry, feel depressed, etc., and let emotions cause us physical illness. Ryder’s book will put you on the
right track, which is what his book is all about: getting back on the right track, the track to happiness and
well-being. Really, it’s more than a self-help book. It’s packed with information. Read it and be informed,
then use the practical "JEEP factors" he offers to transform your life.
