In his new book DON'T, Bob Selden has tapped into the zeitgeist of the importance of positive language.
The book explains how words impact the brain giving us a more positive or negative outlook. Positive people use positive language and see opportunities that others miss.
Bob sets out negative words and phrases to avoid - the ones that create negative thinking, and then suggests some words and phrases that do just the opposite, activating the positive parts of your brain and resulting in positive behaviour.
Bob uses relatable examples when dissecting day-to-day language. He has worked with experienced coaches of sporting team throughout his career and has witnessed the results of a change in linguistic behaviours. He suggested that "coaches who use positive language always seem to get the best out of their athletes - firstly on the training field and subsequently during competition".
The book will be launched by Bob Selden and Goulburn MP Pru Goward on Friday, June 10 from 6pm to 7.30pm at The Bookshop Bowral, 309 Bong Bong Street, Bowral.
This is a free event and drinks and snacks will be provided.
RSVP by Friday, June 3.
