The Outward Mindset: Seeing Beyond Ourselves Review: A Peaceful Mindset... and Then Some - I work for an umbrella organization of American-based peacebuilding organizations where we have used the Arbinger Institute's other two books to help get our own staff to work more effectively. Therefore, I pre-ordered it and read it the moment it arrived this morning. Like Arbinger's other two books, Outward Mindset makes what looks like simple points that turn out to be very difficult to actually put into practice yet which also can have tremendous payoffs. Their first two books are written largely in the form of allegories that show the reader the principles underlying their work. This one is based on real world examples from their practice AND focuses more on things the reader can do in his or her own environment. The Arbinger team is by no means the only group to talk about mindsets or personal paradigms--see the work of Carol Dweck or John Kotter for others. But, what sets this book apart is its focus on the initiatives we as individuals or our organizations can take to address issues head on by assessing the needs of the people we work with and then trying to help them reach their objectives and/or overcome their challenges. What's more, they argue that we can and must take such initiatives even if the other party does not respond in kinds at least initially. In fact, they make the case that that's just about the only constructive thing one can do. As one critical reviewer put it, this book does read like a catalogue of Arbinger's success stories. But, I know from my own work using even some of these principles, they can and do work far more often than one would think. It is fair to say that the book could have benefited from more examples in which an outward mindset did not lead to stunning payoffs, but even so, this is an important book for anyone trying to build a more peaceful planet, workplace, or home. Review: From Work, to Family, and even Athletics... Mindset Matters. - From the very first story in this book in chapter 1 to the final pages, I was captivated. The concept is simple, there are many problems that surround us in our professional and personal lives; and the majority of the cause we blame on others. Whether it is a problem at work, or an issue in our personal relationships it is easy to say that it is because of other peoples lack to understand. For some reason they are just not as capable as me, therefore I deserve more that they; or maybe I just lack the confidence because deep down I know I am not what I want others to think I am. Either way we separate ourselves from others and the focus becomes centered on "me". Can you imagine organizations, teams, and families where the people within them are focused just on themselves... or is that already all too familiar? Do things get done? Is there any real progress made? From Corporate settings, to family life, and even the athletic arena, our Mindset matters. Is it Inward or Outward? Great professionals don't achieve incredible results by simply changing behavior, they change their Mindset. Great athletes and teams don't win championships thinking only about themselves, their focus is on each other, their fans, and their club. Families would never be able to survive happily if those involved had an Inward Mindset, it just doesn't work. The Outward Mindset is crucial in every aspect of our life. This incredible book equipped me to actually achieve that mindset and live it better. From the first story to the last you will not be disappointed! Truly Remarkable. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #314,832 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #615 in Workplace Culture (Books) #2,290 in Business Processes & Infrastructure #3,292 in Leadership & Motivation | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (589) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.5 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1626567158 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1626567153 | | Item Weight | 8.3 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | June 13, 2016 | | Publisher | Berrett-Koehler Publishers | ## Images ![The Outward Mindset: Seeing Beyond Ourselves - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71k+pigY12L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Peaceful Mindset... and Then Some *by C***S on June 15, 2016* I work for an umbrella organization of American-based peacebuilding organizations where we have used the Arbinger Institute's other two books to help get our own staff to work more effectively.
