Book Description
Attitude affects every facet of our lives—from the way we handle stress to how we communicate at work. The way we view difficulties and setbacks can make the difference between success and failure. Roger Fritz has devoted his career to helping people overcome obstacles and achieve their goals by changing their outlook on life. In The Power of a Positive Attitude, he shows readers how to develop a deeper understanding of the effects of their attitude and how it influences not only their performance but the results others achieve. Now, readers can learn to succeed in business by:
• assessing their attitude toward themselves and their co-workers
• overcoming negative attitudes
• learning the dos and don’ts in dealing with their bosses
• becoming better listeners
• overcoming resistance to change in the workplace
• rejecting suggestions without causing resentment
• giving and responding to criticism from team members
• disagreeing with employees and colleagues without being disagreeable
• conquering burnout and stress
Life-affirming and authoritative, this is an invaluable book that will empower anyone to face life and work with joy and confidence.

Attitude affects all facets of our lives, from how we handle stress and communicate at work to how we view difficulties. This book is for any library strong in business and conflict resolution: it translates a positive attitude to a business pursuit and shows how to achieve by becoming a better listeners, handling bosses and subordinates better, and how to conquer factors that work against positive results.

In an effort to improve a seemingly negative attitude in the workplace, I was tasked to read some books on having a positive attitude. Naturally I did not do so with a good attitude . . . but this book was actually very well written and relatively motivational. The author has some great concepts and techniques for improving your attitude that are not quite as absurd as you might think. Was it worth the money? Yeah . . . and I got to check off an item on my development plan for the year. Double bonus for me!

Author Roger Fritz has penned a rather bland but inoffensive short book on the power of positive attitude. His focus is on the workplace, but the ideas he offers are equally applicable to one's personal life. The text is sprinkled with a variety of self-diagnostic quizzes.
On one level, it is hard to imagine how a book like this got accepted it isn't - but there is very little here that has not been said or written before. Certainly nothing novel.
But then, maybe I need a more positive attitude!
One of the best things you can say about this book is that it is short, a quick read weighing in at about 110 pages.
