Zero Negativity

The Power of Positive Thinking

By: Ant Middleton

Narrated by: Ant Middleton

NO.1 BESTSELLER ANT MIDDLETON SHARES HIS SECRETS ABOUT HIS POSITIVE MINDSET AND TEACHES YOU TO LIVE A LIFE WITH ZERO NEGATIVITY

There are times when life feels like it has you cornered: financial difficulties, relationship issues, work problems, all of the above. Every one of us, at one time or another, will have to face up to the challenges that come our way. And there are two ways of meeting them: negatively, where blame is the answer, where other people are at fault, where you haven’t been treated fairly. Or positively, where you own the situation, learn and grow from it, and become a better person at the end of it.

Letting you into areas of his life he’s never talked about before, in Zero Negativity, Ant will show you how to embrace failure and use it to your advantage, how to see change as the foundation of your future success, how to develop resilience, how to deal with bullies, what it means to be a positive roll model, and how to live a life with no regrets.

This book will not tell you who to be, where you should live, or what job you should do. That’s up to you. What this book is for, however, is to give you the tools you need to become the best possible version of yourself, to own who and what you are, and to live your life with Zero Negativity.

Good book

Semi genaric motivation with Ant, I liked it and there are 3 great take aways for prior mil. Also a better understanding of positivity vs fake positivity so you understand it better. Overall a good read for a motivation book.

I was never...

I was never at your level in the Swedish SOG. But I was at my very best in the 1st anti terrorist force of my country.

I never was as insightful as you are, I was never as understanding of the psychology as you are.
- But subconsciously I was where you are.

From my heart, I thank you for adding words to my feelings, adding words to my experience, because you’ve me made understand what, who I was in my life in SOG, what my time in the SOG made me to be, who my experience made me to be aware of who I can be. - The one who, no matter what, won’t give up.

Listening to you, you sort out my faults & failures, you sort out my insecurities, you sort out my life as a now 59 year old civilian. Today, you’ve made me to understand how to apply my SOG experience in a non-war life.

You’re one of my role models of my administration.

Thank you! ❤️

A real man understanding emotions

As a kid without too much of a role model, hearing this is what i have been looking for. Understanding emotions and using positive outlooks to get through any task. Having a bloke with real life experience through the most macho of job titles show weakness in strength is one of the most refreshing things ive heard. Brilliant!

Review

I liked the Emily additions at the end of some chapters. Nice to include that.

Ant Needs Some Mental Health Education

Great book, ticks the boxes but there was one comment which unravelled it all for me.
The comment that people who are diagnosed with PTSD are somehow not up for the job, is a worrying one.
It rips away the clever facade that Middleton is building, perhaps to mask his own insecurities or inadequacies.
An education in mental health would be a good move for this bloke but being typically military likely thinks he is above it all.

I still enjoy his books but recognise now that he has a job to fill which is to write books and churn out as much 'bloke writing' while he can. I respect him but no longer like him as I did.
