Summary of Trevor Moawad & Andy Staples's Getting to Neutral

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 During the summer of 2019, I wrote the book It Takes What It Takes. The book was a form of therapy for me as I dealt with a divorce and a new disease that shut down the world. I realized that dealing with the C-word and COVID-19 would require a greater commitment to neutral thinking.

#2 Neutral thinking is a method of making decisions that strips away your biases and focuses on facts. It allows you to make decisions without any judgment, based on what has already happened.

#3 Neutral thinking is the process of focusing on the next set of steps to move forward. It asks you to process information and guide your behaviors, without rendering an opinion about it. This isn’t for everyone, but those who believe in magical positive thinking will crumble when they are told they need yet another surgery.

#4 The idea that your life will get better if you just think positively is false. It’s not safe, and it’s not easy. We are hardwired to assume the worst because we are not that far along in our evolution from a time when a negative consequence meant death.
