Attitude

Michele Matt Yanna built this 1996 self-help book from more than a decade of speaking to over 100,000 people across 150-plus organizations, and the framework reflects that applied experience. Five attitude-adjustment techniques — covering self-image, happiness, change management, accepting others, and managing guilt — plus five maintenance strategies give readers a structured, actionable path. The Self-Image Inventory is a practical tool for assessing your own patterns honestly. The honest caveats are real: independent critical review is essentially absent, there's no faith framework for readers seeking one, and the secular positive-thinking market is crowded enough that what distinguishes this title from competitors is hard to assess from available data. For corporate and professional development audiences already familiar with Yanna's speaking work, the book delivers. For general readers, the confidence level on the review is low.
