My MindChange Journey

My own journey from being a curious but insecure young adult with emotions and thoughts racing, to becoming a successful serial entrepreneur, world champion in kickboxing and in addition living a remarkably happy life started with my inner dialogue, or with the MindChange model as you will learn in the book. The vow to never, ever be rude, mean or respectless to myself was the start of a beautiful relationship with myself.  By recognizing and challenging my own thought patterns using the MindChange model, I was able to break free from the shackles of self-doubt and unlock a newfound sense of purpose and fulfillment fueled by positive energy. When the inner critic went from bully to fan and cheerleader it propelled me to professional and athletic success since I had access to all that extra positive energy instead of spending brainpower on criticizing myself. The more I developed this relationship, the more I started to understand the basics of thinking well and thus feeling well in a positive spiral which evolved into the MindChange model.

The Picture shows Ola in a suit, speaking into a microphone at a conference. The scene is composed with the author centrally positioned, speaking into a microphone, while the background features the logo of the World Economic Forum. The framing is tight on the speaker, focusing attention on him and his presentation. Ola appears to be mid-sentence, his body language engaging. His hands are actively gesturing while speaking. The key subject is Ola with short graying hair. He is dressed in a dark suit jacket over a light-colored collared shirt. His expression appears serious and engaged in the discussion. His body posture suggests confidence and attentiveness. The setting appears to be a conference hall, with a dark blue backdrop featuring the World Economic Forum logo. Ambient light is sufficient for the image. The atmosphere is formal and professional, reflective of a business meeting or conference.

MindChange works for me and many others that have come across the thinking and I feel I have an opportunity, even an obligation to share these insights with others that maybe struggle with a critical inner voice or who’s continuous ”seeking" and "self-help books" does not bring the desired harmony. The MindChange method has empowered me to help others do the same, fostering a community of like-minded individuals who are committed to living a life of purpose and meaning. Raising a generation free from the shackles of fear would revolutionize humanity. By equipping children with courage, resilience, and emotional intelligence, we'd empower them to drive positive change, foster empathy, and build a more compassionate world – where fear is no longer a constant companion.

I hope you will enjoy the MindChange journey.
