Zero Negativity: The Power of Positive Thinking

Product Information

I really enjoyed this and it was very thought-provoking and motivational as Ant Middleton’s books and speeches are.

I found I had already heard a lot of the stories in Zero Negativity (but I had read his previous two books and attended two talks by Ant Middleton).

The layout of the book featuring stories from Ant's life, to advice, to Emilie's perspective and recapping with a summary at the end of each chapter in very simple language and briefness was effective.You might make mistakes and miss the opportunities that come up, or be stuck in a hard situation but it’s up to us to make sure when another train comes by, we’re ready for it and to be adaptable. It has made me reflect on negative experiences I have had and flipping it around to find those positives, no matter how bad a situation is because something can always be taken away from it. I see this more of a self help book than anything else, with a few examples of how his experiences in the military and as a celeb relate to the message he is putting across.

With the chapter breakdowns at the end of each one I like to go back to these when I need a bit of a positive boost. I feel that this 3rd book from Ant Middleton presents as a consolidation of his approach to life and is most likely more enjoyable or easier to take into context if you have previously read his other two books, First man in and fear bubble. About 1/2 way through the book he says 3 tours of Afghanistan, then a handful of pages later says 2 tours.I feel like this book in it’s honesty is the closest we will get to having an insight into who Ant is. Just don't expect a great read, it felt more like a rushed or forced book, almost like he was signed to a three book deal and was just completing his obligations. A conversational style which perhaps lacks the grit of his other books, Ant nonetheless delivers some powerful messages to inspire you to become a better version of yourself every day. To me, who thoroughly enjoyed his other books, it felt like this was valuable but it was just backing up what he’s been saying all along. It was reassuring and a perfect reminder of the importance of having positivity present within your life, even if it starts as something small because eventually it will grow into something bigger.

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. It rips away the clever facade that Middleton is building, perhaps to mask his own insecurities or inadequacies. Loved this book but was part of a trilogy where first man in was a biography with some tips in about positive thinking. There are times when life feels like it has you cornered: financial difficulties, relationship issues, work problems, all of the above.Registered office address: Unit 34 Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE5 3EF. He spends countless pages shamelessly bragging and comes off as extremely narcissistic and arrogant. after listening to the first two books by ant, I was really looking forward to this, however I hate to say I was slightly disappointed.
