Flip It is much more than a way of thinking; it's a way of acting and doing.
I really enjoyed the way this book moves way beyond simple positive thinking ideas (as seen in many other books) and gives practical examples of things to actually do. I'm of the belief that if you want great things to happen then you have to take action to make them happen. Michael Heppell appears to agree. The challenge I've always had is the motivation and a simple way to make that happen... until now.
Flip It is split in to 10 main sections topped and tailed with an introduction and a quirky `end bit'. They are:
1 Finding Flip It. This gives a quick introduction to the concept, it's easy to grasp and apply with some quick results. I found myself using one idea immediately.
2) Flip It for confidence and happiness. I love the story here about ordering the same takeaway month after month (I'm guilty) and the example from the world of sport where a player keeps missing passes and how a sports coach fixed it.
2) Flip It for friends, family and love. This book was worth it alone for the `Friends Grid' idea. What a wake up call.
4) Flip IT for health. At last I thought a realistic guide to health. Eat Well, Think Well & Move Well makes sense to me. Not sure about the vinegar idea though too high risk for me.
5) Flip It for Money. This chapter takes a more serious approach to a serious subject. I found myself wincing at times at the descriptions of people who have money issues - too close to home perhaps?
6) Flip It for success. Again there are dozens of ideas here, some which strike a chord straight away and others which need a little more thinking (from the reader). Rock to Resolution seems almost too good to be true, is it? We'll see.
7) Flip It for creativity. I would have liked this chapter right at the start as it really opened my mind to possibility. I would not describe myself a creative person yet I found myself being creative.
8) Flip It at work and in business. This should be a whole new book. I found myself wanting more information and at one point thinking about getting a different job. More importantly I felt confident in my abilities to do so.
9) Flip it for your fantastic future. A reminder to set goals (I know I should), but with a new twist which saw me taking out a pad and really planning my fantastic future. This included doing something I always said I will do and writing an Amazon review - done it - tick.
10) Flip It for everything else. The author says this is where he put all the pieces which didn't fit naturally into other chapters. Very true. Some crazy ideas, some simple truths and a great idea for maximising your musical taste.
Flip It is packed with ideas. Often two or three a page. It's fresh, fun and very practical and at 150 pages the type of book you can read in a few days - perfect for busy people.

As Brilliant as How to Be Brilliant!
I have just got my copy of Flip It and I am half way through it already. It's easy to ready funny and practical and just what we all need right now. I love the way the author uses lots of real life examples and there are so many great tools and I can't wait to finish it and put them into practice. The illustrations and layout really help lighten it up and make it easy to digest, its fun to read and do!
Cheers Debra

I love audio books and listen to them as i drive to work or walk. Yes this book is good clear common sense advice and if you have been half awake you would of heard some of it before. But put and packaged in a delightful way that only michael can do makes you think ahhh thats how it happends.
Make the link yourself perhaps if you listen with your partner you will laugh and smile all day as i did
BRILLIANT...

A main point in the book is to ask how? ....not why? I have nothing much to add to the 5 star reviewers here, except to say that this book is truly exceptional, I've read 'em all - honestly! This and :59 Seconds are the only ones you'll ever need. It may have been done before in some ways, but not in such a quirky, lively way, I see no arrogance or misplaced humour here at all, I actually think Flip It all the time now,this is a welcome addition to the changes I'd like to make. In addition I bought the audio version for the car, Michael Heppel "talks" the book himself in a great way, just listening to him makes you feel better and ready to move on with things.
Plus as someone else said very few other books at this price deal with so many areas of one's life, could be 3 or 4 separate books! Guess Michael Flipped It and wrote one for now.
The website has free extra "chapters" and other resources too

I haven't read this book, I listened to in on my Ipod having downloaded it from Audible. It is a really good book and could improve my life, if I do what it says. Michael Heppell also included many free resources on his web site so there is added value. I would recommend you get this book.
