This book has become my personal coach. Thank you, Mary, for your gift to the world.

 I have read many, many books in the field of self-help. My passion is the power of thoughts on our behavior and it took me quite a while to find a book that would cover science, common sense, practical examples and cognitive psychology all in one package.
Mary J. Lore's line of work is exceptionally clear and convincing in this book. Managing Thought has a lot of depth, but it is easy to read and keeps the reader interested through its brilliant insight.
This book is a treasure and should be on top of the bestseller list, seriously.

“Self-help books, most of us know, are a dime a dozen. This is a self-help book that puts the rest of them obsolete. Mary Lore, through a multitude of pointed vignettes, and just plain old common sense, puts the quandary of human existence into a fresh, colorful, detailed perspective. After my 40 years of professional experience in this field, this is the best yet. In short, it is life changing. Most refreshingly, as you read it, you know that the author practices it in her everyday life. Her book is the definitive "First in Class" on this subject and will go down as a true classic for many years to come!”

“Managing Thought will dramatically improve how you think and do. Wish I had read it when I was 25. It’s an easy-to-read yet deeply insightful interpretation that shows how to manage your thoughts to be more successful. Just the short, effective paragraph on “Putting it into Practice” will convince you this is a must-read!”

“In life, each of us is required by the dynamic reality of daily events to face ourselves or not. We all have the choice to be actively in the game of life or, by default, to stay on the sideline. This book can initiate the process of personal work and consistent focused self-development. My 40 years of working with graduate students and CEOs confirms the importance of daily routine in individuals moving toward being brave personally, giving themselves permission to know themselves, and moving beyond the “other directed” orientation of critical self critique. An inner directed path will allow the growth of a more developed personhood. Mary’s book can give its readers the path toward a centered self-confidence.”

“Bottom line improvement comes through people, and I want people on my team who can think for themselves, visualize outcomes and be proactive in seeking positive results. Mary Lore shares a very creative approach to analyze and measure our thought process. It validates the importance of being in control to effect positive outcomes in our lives. Managing Thought is a must read if you want to develop a personal flight plan that has positive outcomes, takes you to new heights, avoids significant turbulence and puts you in control.”

"Thank you kind spirit for reminding me of the breathing exercise. My position requires me to juggle many tasks simultaneously. Within minutes of inhaling/holding and exhaling, I was calmer to the point that I was refreshed/re-centered!  I will use the breathing exercise whenever my body/mind is racing in opposite directions again. Sometimes, it is the smallest things that make the biggest differences."

"We are as we think. Mary J. Lore's Managing Thought tells us why. Then she tells us how we can manage our thoughts and transform ourselves, our relationships with others, and our lives.  This works!"

 "We each rue our inability to get out of the funk, the dread of being out of control emotionally. We each wish there could be a way to prevent the slide, or stop the slide, or find our way back from the slide.

There is. A basic way to look at, and manage, what we think. Which dictates how we feel. And ultimately, what we do. It is called Managing Thought – How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World? Get it. Read it. Live it. Within those pages, there is a whole new opportunity to find your way through. To decide on what you think. To own you. Thanks, Mary!"

"Am I managing my thoughts or are my thoughts managing me?" Unfortunately, putting my self -hypocrisy aside, I didn't like the answer I was giving myself. My unmanaged thoughts were ruling my world, and I didn't like the result, and neither did those around me.

It has been a very helpful book for this old boy! It should be required reading for everyone who works with people. 

Mary Lore's book is a must read for anyone who is interested in the power and energy that their thoughts and intentions can create along with the change that positive beliefs can make in our world. Simply by following the guidelines of this book, we are able to manage our thoughts to bring about a positive shift in the energies that surround us.

Great easy read for generations to come! 

Managing Thought is already changing my families lives and 3 of my clients as well. The book is clear, focused and simple to understand with great exercises. It's got me examining all the areas of my life and creating a powerful intention for each. Already I am choosing my life and I can't wait to see what happens in 6 months, a year and beyond. I was also impressed that Dr. Maoshing Ni endorsed it for he is one of the most highly rated acupuncturists from the Tao of Wellness Acupuncture Clinic in Santa Monica, Ca. and a great author himself.

This book, although geared toward the professional, to ease one toward professional success, was the best psychological self-help book I have every experienced. It cut through all my arguments, my mental blocks, my denial and set me on my personal path. I don't need to figure out the meaning and impact of my past events in order to achieve the level of joy and awareness I have wanted. A quick check and adjustment of my mental focus is all that it takes to put me instantly into a state of open readiness for life's adventures. Mary showed me the simple tools required to work toward my goals. And they weren't the tools that I had ever been taught before!
Life has been a much more pleasant affair since I started managing my thoughts. It's the way we were meant to use our brain. We just didn't know.

I have read many books about the impact of our thoughts and emotions on the world that we experience. Mary Lore has obviously read many of these same books. She has taken the best elements of these teachings and added wisdom of her own to bring us a very practical guide to living the life we choose to live. Her approach breaks down the complexity of dealing with life's many problems into a single step that we can take right now. Mary guides us through exercises designed to help us put these teachings into practice in our daily lives. I enjoyed her stories about the successful experiences of her clients who have followed the advice in her book. I have used many of these teachings to enjoy a life of love and purpose. Mary has given me a way to share this wisdom with others in a single book that can be read over and over again. With each reading, our lives will be greatly enriched. I'm looking forward to giving away many copies of her book as holiday gifts this year.

"Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World", by Mary J. Lore, is an insightful, practical, "life manual" that gets to the heart of discovering what's truly important to you -- and how to get it. The written exercises in the book, plus the free online tools (managingthought.com), allow you to put the author's concepts into practice. She teaches you how to think and communicate in a positive way, and to avoid limiting thoughts and language. (I have banished the word "but" from my vocabulary!). This is a book that I will revisit again and again.

I was the Recording Engineer for the Audio Book version of this, and I can tell you from my experience with Mary in the studio that she lives by this stuff. She is passionate because she sees great progress in her own life as a result of her commitment to self-awareness.

This book is primarily geared toward executives, but even as a young adult I found its content applicable to anyone who truly wants to better themselves from the inside out.

I absolutely *loved* reading Managing Thought.

It's definitely a book I'll refer to for years to come. Thank you Mary, this book is simply fabulous. I hope that everyone at my office reads this so that we can all use these tools with each other. 

Sometimes, life is like crossing a river on foot. Cautionary steps, twisted ankles, unexpected bites, and a strong current can keep us from our intended path. In Managing Thought, Mary Lore provides stepping stones to help our crossing. Managing Thought is a step-by-step direct approach to defining life goals, eliminating obstacles, and creating a path to achievement.
In using examples from her own personal life and her business career, Mary's voice is understanding, encouraging, and cogent.
Personally, after reading this book, I have a better understanding of the importance of my thoughts, the strength of these thoughts, and how they influence my life. With this knowledge, I hope to manage my own thoughts toward a happier, healthier, and more peaceful life.
Moreover, I found her book inspiring and altruistic, which I didn't anticipate. I felt challenged by and accepted the author's call to pursue 'a life well-lived'.

This is a well written book that applies to my professional and personal thoughts and habits. I am now aware that my thoughts affected many outcomes in my life including how my thoughts/actions may have been received by others. This book empowered me, I am a better person as a result of realizing that we have good and bad thoughts, but the key is managing our thoughts! It is an outstanding manual for life and a must read for everyone. We have the power to recognize and handle all things in life by understanding that our thoughts are not just thoughts and can be managed to enjoy the fullness of life!
