The substance is in the title

What ever is wrong, just 'flip it' and work it from that side. Sound advice as there is no good or bad, just what man puts an interpretation to. Use your weakness, faults and failures to actually rework your victories. Not a bad book and Michael Heppell's accent is quite refreshing to listen to. Worth a listen to and good for a pick-me up.

New age, but not new age

Seemed fairly obvious that Heppell's trying to attract the anti-The Secret crowd by implying "I'm not one of 'them'." But, to a certain extent, he is.
If I had to summarize his main point: don't ever be defeatist! Still, there are echoes of "thoughts are things" and he ends with advice to use a pendulum to find lost objects. I don't have a problem with that, but wanted to head off folks later claiming they were expecting something some "scientific" (psychology).
Value? Good, but not great.

F$#% Flip It

Sorry about the harsh title. I didn't hate this book, but I was very disappointed. I was probably disappointed because I have read many of these types of books, so I have heard most of the stuff he presents before. I agree with the reviewer that said this book was for the lowest common denominator. I thought it was going to be an overall philosophy, but mostly the author goes about giving specific tips. I did find the "drink apple cider vinegar for an upset stomach" tip interesting, but I wasn't looking for that type of advice when i bought this book.

Really love Flip It

Thai is a great book. Simple but very clever. The author reads with real conviction. I'm using the tools described and getting excellent results.

The key features of this program are a series of tools which really do help you to get the very best out of most challenging situations.

I really am enjoying Flipping It and suggest you give it a go too.

Lessons in Reframing and Endless Possibilities

I love Flip It. The author reads with conviction and I always feel more optimistic when I listen to this book. Heppell simplifies the concepts so that the messages seem easy and obvious, but they are not so obvious to many people I meet in my day to day life. The habit of being positive must be learned and Michael Heppell is a first class coach and teacher. So FLIP IT... ignore the negative reviews and decide for yourself. Read this life-changing, enjoyable, feel-good book.

Great Pep Talk

I admit, I ordered this book not only for content, but because I love the author/narrator's accent. The book was encouraging, and gives many ideas for changing our perception of any situation and keeping a positive outlook on life. If you need a pep talk, this is a great book.

Advice bites for "Flip It"

Up on the mountain, in a dark cave, someone is searching his soul for ways to rise above the frustrations of the flesh. Ten years later, upon emerging from the cave, he writes a book about what worked for him. Descending the mountain, meandering ever closer to the city at its base, one meets other gurus, at ever more affable altitudes, occupying caves for increasingly shorter durations, with increasingly better lighting and plumbing, composing less rarefied "what worked for me" books. Every one of them, or so we hope, proffers wisdom from some higher perspective which will help us to rise "above it all." We Earthlings beneath want to view our traumas from different angles, so we read the books. Michael Heppell's vantage point is about as close to sea level as a guru ever gets. No long stays breathing dark thin air for Michael--maybe a few hours of reading musty old books in his poorly lit attic. His wisdom is doled out in parcels such as "five ways to make a long train ride interesting," or "how I used an acidic solution to cure my indigestion." He recommends calling the sniffles "a cleansing." There, there, now . . . all better! His suggestions are sophistry, but words can sooth the day. His advice bites will not flip you from a hurricane's tempest into its halcyon. In the event of a hurricane, flip yourself from the attic of Heppell's enlightenment into the dungeon of despair under your "flat." For indigestion on long train rides, "flip it," Heppell style.

About as much depth…

…as a high school homework paper from a B-student. What a joke. I would return if I could.

Flip it in the trash

Worse self help book I have ever read. Total waste of time, flip it away.
