Create a mindset for happiness for each day and with every task!
The Get To Principle guides the reader to an experiential understanding of the nature of life—how "the way you look at life is how you treat life, and the way you treat life is what life becomes." Instead of living in the past, Larkins encourages readers to tap into the "something" happening in the moment and live in the field of possibility.
Practicing this mindset can have a life-changing effect on what you become. This simple technique reaffirms the latest science around growth mindset and accomplishing goals long thought impossible. Without a doubt, The Get To Principle will direct your life toward joy.

      Narrator Kaleo Griffith's playful tone and youthful timbre convey a cheerful optimism that's essential for a message like this to hit home. He makes listeners want to answer yes when the author asks if they are ready for a change. The audiobook is compact, compared to similar works on happy productivity, and this aspect of the production is also served well by Griffith's tone. The intensity of his optimism is like an energy drink, provoking an attitude boost for anyone feeling burdened by the must-do's of work, family, and self-care. Instead of feeling pushed around by these obligations, executive coach and trainer Ted Larkins asks listeners to think of them as privileges--things we "get to do" instead of "have to do." It's an invitation to be grateful that Kaleo Griffith's performance makes especially inviting. T.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine

      Executive coach Larkins (Get to Be Happy) offers concise methods for building a positive mindset in this upbeat self-improvement guide. Most people approach the world with an “I have to” outlook, Larkins argues, and see life as a series of tasks on an endless to-do list. “We’ve forgotten that each moment alive on the planet as a human is a miracle,” he writes before walking readers through strategies to shift from “I have to” to “I get to.” In the first part, he analyzes the negative effects of living in a “have to” culture of stress and fear; he then provides advice on how to shift from victim thoughts (being angry, taking things for granted) to “get to” thoughts (having appreciation, being grateful). Exercises and self-reflection questions give readers tools for exploration, and insights from inspirational figures including Napoleon Hill, Elizabeth Gilbert, Desmond Tutu, and the Dalai Lama round out the text. While Larkins can lapse into platitudes (“Believe that change is possible, and anything can change”), his straightforward writing style makes the concepts easy to digest. Readers in search of inspiration will find plenty of solid advice.
