Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In this argumentative, sometimes counterintuitive self-help book, first-time author Coxe declares that "positive thinking is a lie and it doesn't work!" It doesn't create lasting results; it is very difficult if you're emotionally spent; and when it fails, you just feel worse. Instead of avoiding negative thoughts and emotions, he says, you should acknowledge and manipulate them to attain success. The key to using negative feelings constructively is learning "to play games with our minds instead of our minds playing games with us." Coxe, who rails against other "pop-psychologists" and attributes his own expertise to life experience, offers a few basic tools, such as scenario planning, emotion control techniques and the book's centerpiece, "The 4-Step Process," a series of reframing exercises that identify readers' "empowering beliefs and thoughts" and their "limiting" ones. (Explaining why his 4-Step Process includes a step on positive thinking, Coxe does some reframing of his own, arguing that "it's not so much positive thinking itself that's the hoax, it's the way it is presented.") Coxe declares that his process can cure people of longtime phobias "in less than an hour." Readers intrigued by his multiple appearances on television's Maury Povich Show may want to pick up this book. (Dec.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

    Don't Let Others Rent Space in Your Head: Your Guide to Living Well, Overcoming Obstacles, and Winning at Everything in Life

    I watch the Maury Povich Show and have seen Gary Coxe help people change their different phobias into relief. I have some of Garys tape programs and this is just another way to access his powerful advice. Gary has helped me and I have seen him on the show before helping others. His website is full of more info for many different personal problems including for business. I am recommending this book to all my friends and coworkers and to anyone who reads this review. Try it, you'll like it!!

    Great book!

    I really enjoyed reading this one. While other self-help books claim to have all the answers to your problems and then turn out to be a waste of your money, Gary Coxe's 'power tips' and the '4 Step process' have been very valuable to me. I would recommend this book to everyone!

    Don't Let Others Rent Space in Your Head: Your Guide to Living Well, Overcoming Obstacles, and Winning at Everything in Life

    Don't Let Others Rent Space in your Head! We need to be in control of our own head and Gary shows us how in this book. Others may try to discourage us, but we need to make our own goals and stick to them. How to succeed and follow through. Not a pep talk but a real tool box of ways we can get the job done.
