    So powerful that I signed up for Dr. V’s new 'mindset retraining' course on IG (@thrivewithfdt )

This is CBT with a soul. A fundamentally life-changing book that introduces an entirely new way of thinking and living with Future Directed Therapy (FDT), inclusive of practical exercises and worksheets. I cannot overstate the profound impact FDT has had on my life, as I continue to revisit my marked up copy. It has even become a go-to gift for friends/family.

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2018*

Think Forward to Thrive is a well written, step by step guide for anyone who has experienced disappointment in trying to achieve their goals.  Jennice Vilhauer, PhD, does an excellent job of presenting and explaining the material.The Introduction and first four chapters discuss the theoretical framework of the book.  Chapters 5 through 12 give detail instructions for implementing the framework.There are two major assertions in the book: 1) We get what we expect, not what we want.  2) What we focus on expands and shows up as results in our lives. Her goal is to get the reader to focus on a better future while letting go of the past. The overall approach is a bit unique in that she really focuses on getting the reader to shift their thinking from the past and what they don't want to the future and what they do want.As she explains, when we have negative emotions around a goal, there is something we don't want that is coming up around that goal.  Negative emotions always involve something we don't want.  Too often we focus on what we don't want, which brings more of what we don't want into our lives.These are very powerful ideas, but they are not new.  In 1957, Earl Nightingale, often referred to as the father of the self-help movement, released a program titled, The Strangest Secret.  The revealed secret was, “We become what we think about most of the time.”  In the program he also asserted, “We tend to live up to our expectations.”Ms. Vilhauer’s approach will probably appeal to and resonate with some people on a deeper level than Mr. Nightingale’s.If you are totally new to the self-help, self-improvement, this book will be an extremely valuable resource.  If you have been actively engaged in self-development, you will find a lot of things in the book which you already know.  As Ms. Vilhauer points out, it is not what you know it is what you do that counts.There are plenty of exercises for the reader to do. If you want to get the most out of this book, you need to complete the exercises.  There is also a website with additional resources and worksheets.Unless you change your expectations, you will continue to get what you've always gotten.
