Testimonials - About Managing Thought Book
“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.” Howard Putnam “Managing Thought gets right to the bottom line on why individuals and organizations behave the way they do. Managing Thought provides the tools that empower us to learn how to change our behavior and improve our effectiveness and overall health at work and home. I’m a better person, leader, friend, father, and husband for having read this book.” William Neale, M.A. “Managing Thought is to this century what Winning Friends and Influencing People and 7 Habits of Highly Effective People were to the last century. Thought Management is a key asset for today’s leaders.” Barbara G. Stanbridge “Managing Thought is one of the best self-help books I have ever read. It is thought provoking, easy to understand, and the exercises are simple yet very effective. Through Managing Thought, I now see how my limiting beliefs have held me back and put me in a very small box as to the possibilities in my life. By taking the time to really work on uncovering what they are and examining them in detail, I am able to take myself out of that very small box and help my clients to do the same.” Bob Carrothers “Managing Thought is as timeless as Dale Carnegie’s work. This book goes way beyond business executives. It is a powerful book for anyone, in any number of personal and professional relationships. Through Managing Thought, I have taken control of my life with powerful, high-service and high-purpose thoughts. I learned I have the power to choose my thoughts and overpower my weak, negative thoughts.” Arthur Horwitz “For years, great leaders have realized “the power of positive thinking”. Even pessimistic people prefer to follow positive, optimistic leaders. This book takes this concept to a completely new level and teaches us how to actually manage our thoughts to be creative, inspired and impactful in all that we do. The concepts are practical and real and are equally beneficial at home or in the workplace. Mary’s book reinforced that I actually have a choice and can control my thoughts versus being controlled by them—I find that to be incredibly powerful!” Gordon Krater “Every outcome in the universe is preceded by an initiating thought. Mary J. Lore's latest book, Managing Thought, reminds us and provides the tools to be intentional and aware of our thoughts as they create our reality, to consciously create each moment, and to seek balance in a world that forces us to specialize. Read this book, do what she suggests and discover more of who you really are. Let your journey begin!” Ole Carlson “In today’s 24/7 global world, executives and entrepreneurs are challenged in all aspects of their professional and personal lives. Today’s business education is about teaching future leaders how to manage these challenges. Managing Thought provides important and valuable insights as well as robust and realistic prescriptive techniques that will help train business students to overcome those challenges while re-invigorating their passions and cultivating their all-important sense of self.” Kim Schatzel “Mary’s book reinforced my belief that life is a combination of one’s heart, mind and soul and when these three are combined and made available to us, along with a grounded understanding of our beliefs, we have the possibility of living life to the fullest.” Richard Carr “Managing Thought was a very interesting and eye opening way of looking at life. It was not completely new to me; I had been exposed to things like this before, but the thing that I especially liked about Managing Thought was the idea of seven key focus points and the thought proccess that goes into each one. It was a good experience for me personally to take this short course on Managing Thought.” Lucia Loeb “Through Managing Thought, I felt like I had the answers to so many issues that would arise in my life. I started to look at things differently at home and also in my classroom. I found I could communicate my needs better with my family and my students. Life is getting better because I have learned and continue to learn to manage my thoughts.” Packy Conway “One of my big aha’s as I’ve been exposed to the whole Managing Thought process is the realization that I typically try to manage other people’s thoughts. I assume they are thinking a certain way and then rationalize all of their actions to fit my idea of what they are thinking. We can only manage our own thoughts. What we really need to do is to ask questions, learn to understand others instead of just assuming certain things and then proceed.” Andrea Rakowicz “Managing Thought is the best book I have ever read. I now realize that I am responsible and accountable for my thoughts and if I want to make changes in my life and my family and my relationships, it starts with my thoughts. I am the one in control. Through managing my thoughts, I can now have my best day every day.” Debbie Simmons "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 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!"
