Mind Hacking: How to Change Your Mind for Good in 21 Days

good read if you're looking for something to challenge your mind and change the way you think/behave now

John Hargrave has written a masterpiece. Not only is the topic incredibly interesting and a new view on mindfulness, it is punctuated by John's subtle wit and creative humor. The simple instructions are supported by numerous studies and real-life examples. John deconstructs a concept that has always remained elusive to most humans. The honest introspection, detailed research and relevancy in our technological age make Mind Hacking a must-read book.

At first this appeared to be a potentially useless book as the author doesn't seem to have credentials related to psychology and goes into being a recovering alcoholic (eye roll, sorry), BUT the exercises are helpful and even innovative at times. I like this book--it pretty much brings together all those mind tricks that you've read about in different places into one resource. It also attempts to hold the reader accountable, which is nice.

Good info and suggestions, I just got tired of reading the word "hack" over and over as it is so trendy. Wondering if in 20 years the author will do an update with a different trendy word like "tip", "trick" or something else to just say "method". A good read if you're not bothered by overly hip text that may be badly dated by the next young generation. If you've ever read Norman Vincent Peale this might make sense. Some people love the hip jargon of the times, some get bogged down in it. Not a bad book, but Rise of Superman is better if you're only going to buy one self-improvement book.

This book was well done overall. It was written by a software coder/geek and he had an interesting way of framing things. I enjoyed a lot from this book, but got bored towards the end. I find a lot of books “write” for the sake of writing and I feel like all books could be condensed more. Would still recommend this book, epically to those who need help with “removing faulty thought loops”

Changing how you view your world, through your thoughts and actions. This book is a must read for everyone. If you totally are about your whole health and personal development. You should read this book. Building your mind to match your goals in life in so important and this book allowed me to see my holes; then correct them.

If you've read Prank the Monkey, you know what a great author Hargraves is. I bought this because I loved the Zugg comedy and have always been a follower of the things John is doing. I was NOT disappointed! This book blends the kind of pragmatic real world comedy I love from Sir Hargraves, and also delivers the intellectual hackery that the title boasts in large scale order. BRAVO

Changing habits has got to be the hardest thing a person can do. Habits are so easy to form, I don't even notice I'm forming them until they're creating a real problem for me. This book helped me see how to form habits that not only aren't holding me back, but are good! That might sound simple, but for me it isn't at all. I'm a grumpy, stubborn person, but I have to admit that once I got into the swing of making better personal choices it kind of started to be a hobby in and of itself. It's funny how I know something to be true, but I don't want to act on it until someone says it to me in the right way, and that's exactly what I got out of this book.

Good for everybody. You can learn about human behaviour, sarcasm, how to be confident, how make decisions

Ma per l'amore di Dio... Ho comprato il libro è l'audiobook Tutto il contrario di quel che ci si aspetterebbe... Parla di sé e parla ancora si come lui... L'audiobook è una delusione infinita: - legge lui stesso ed ha un'intonazione ridicola con rotture di timpani in alcuni casi e non scherzo/esagero mica! Un vero e proprio idiota! Un Sir del ... Non diciamo parolacce... Lasciate perdere : un consiglio di cuore!

John gives lots of actionable insights to upgrade yourself. If you are from programming background then you will connect and resonate with you more quickly. Even if you are not from programming background you have lot to take away

I haven't finished reading it, and probably no where near hacking my mind, but the book grabbed me immediately, and I read a little bit almost every day.

Easy to read and absorb what I found useful.
