Description

This book "THINK STRAIGHT Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life" by Darius Foroux, published in 2017. It is a self-published work where the author, an entrepreneur and blogger, shares his personal journey and insights on improving one's life by gaining control over one's thoughts. The book explores the practical application of thinking as a tool, drawing on ideas from philosophy, particularly pragmatism, to advocate for focusing on useful and actionable thoughts rather than dwelling on the past, future, or unproductive worries. Foroux emphasizes that clear thinking requires training and offers various methods, such as filtering thoughts, questioning assumptions, and reflecting, to move from mental chaos to clarity and ultimately achieve inner calm. The author stresses that the goal is not just thinking, but using improved thoughts to drive action and live a more fulfilling and intentional life, even touching upon practical advice like managing finances and embracing unconventional approaches.
