Reader's Reviews
A Culture of Positive Change
'Goodreads' reviews
** spoiler alert ** This self-help book is a rare gem.
Mr. Iroh uses this book to highlight the importance of dreaming big while also offering practical advice on how to achieve said dreams.
Personal values, discovering your unique purpose, strategies and advice on how to become high achievers.
A culture of Positive change is a treasure trove of counsel when it comes to personal and professional success.
Nobody wants to be trapped in unfulfilling jobs, awaiting an equally unfulfilling retirement. This book will help you avoid that.

Very easy to reed it take me 3 days. A bunch of advice that you may have already read in books of this type, but the way the author explains them makes you pay attention and want to apply them.

** spoiler alert ** This book talks in general about the ability of people to make a change in their lives for the better if they want and believe in their abilities in a very organized way. John mentions many successful people we know and those we do not know in his book, and they all had one thing in common, which is the belief in their ability to reach it. It contains a lot of wisdom and advice to improve our standard of living because a person is a sum total of the choices he or she makes. What I loved more than anything else in it is that I needed someone to confirm this to me and push me towards achieving my dream.

Before I started reading this book, I wasn't sure what to expect. Once I started reading, I found that it surprised me. I had the bizarre feeling that the author had somehow read my mind. There are thoughts that I sometimes struggle to articulate to others, questions that I would sometimes like to ask, but I figure there are no straightforward answers. I felt somehow that these unexplainable thoughts were somehow understood by the author, as I read this book.
This book is intended to help the reader change their mindset, to believe that they can succeed at anything they want to do in life. I tried to read this book carefully, to fully appreciate its content. In particular, I found it interesting to read about the success stories of some well-known public figures, and to consider the common personality traits of those who are successful.
I think that I may need to read this book a few times, and study its content in great detail , before I consider making any significant changes, but I found it a thought-provoking and eye-opening read.

How many people do you know who are happy in their jobs? Further, how many do you know who grew up envisioning themselves in their current occupations? In my youth, I saw myself playing professional baseball. Later on, I decided that owning and managing a bookstore would be the ideal position. I ended up doing neither of these, although the bookstore notion still has some appeal. I spent some time going against the recommendation of author John Iroh in A Culture of Positive Change. I tolerated a job because it provided sufficient income. Later on, I became a teacher, the next best thing to running a bookstore, and came close to his recommendation. And just what was the sum total of Mr. Iroh's philosophy? A few parts follow:
-Do what you like doing.
-At any level in life, there is always a higher and better life.
-See your ultimate purpose or you will become slave to your immediate needs.
-Purpose is the essence of life.
-Life is a journey to a destination.
-There are always 24 hours in a day; regardless how busy you are, there is time to do what you wish
Mr. Iroh profiles a number of "world changers", from the famous (AG Bell, Isaac Newton, Florence Nightingale) to the more obscure (Thomas Telford, Mary Slessor, Simon Cowell) and describes their routes to success. He lists traits of successful people - purpose, passion, perspective, energy and confidence - and enumerates 5 rules for positive change 1. Need a purpose 2. Having a purpose is not selfish 3. Approach things with a sound mind 4. Work hard 5. Don't allow for fear of failure, and 6. Education is important, but not a prerequisite to success.
It's a little presumptuous, but I'd suggest that anyone who reads this book and doesn't pause to reflect on his purpose/goals has not read it properly.

** spoiler alert ** I recently read a culture of positive change book that explores the themes of dreams, purpose, and positive change. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to reflect on their life's purpose and make meaningful changes. It's short, easy to read, and filled with inspiring ideas.
The book emphasizes the importance of having dreams and pursuing them, even if they change over time. It encourages readers to believe in their abilities and make conscious choices to improve their lives. The author shares stories of successful individuals who achieved their goals through determination and faith in themselves.
What resonated with me most was the motivation to pursue my dreams and the reminder that it's never too late to start. However, I did find some of the author's statements a little problematic, such as the justification of substance use for children of divorced parents and the notion that living with parents is a failure.
Despite these concerns, the book is a great reminder to revisit our life's purpose and make positive changes. It's a book that everyone should read to revitalize and refocus on their goals. The author's message is inspiring, and the stories shared are a testament to the power of believing in oneself.

Individuals charging their attitude towardsa positive mindset to appreciate challenges by perceiving that a lack of knowledge could be remediated and become a learning experience instead of negativity, anxieties and low self-esteem. Individuals with a growth mindset are more adaptable and persistent, recovering from mistakes and trying again, using their own mistakes to adjust their behavior and improve performance. It is important that our organizations develop a culture of change, embracing an authentic friendly environment, allowing aspects of forgiveness and recognition to create a family perception and reassure the emotional and spiritual well-being of individuals.
