The FLIPSIDE
A new book by Adam J Jackson
Every setback has a Flipside, you just need to find it…
'This
is an inspiring, really energising book. It is just the sort of thing
you need when you have watched too many news broadcasts about how the
world is going to the dogs...This is an empowering book. Read it first
before you give it to that friend who really needs it.'
The
Times - South Africa - 25th April 2009
'We are inspired by Adam J Jackson‘s
writings in his book “ The Flip Side” which is based upon a
simple and inspiring idea that “ every problem or obstacle in our
lives however big or small contains an equivalent or greater benefit or
opportunity.'

'About once a year I like to review
an inspirational book, something that gives us a good reason to be optimistic
and preferably some good techniques to sustain this effect. The Flipside
does all that rather well.
Here are some of the topics the book deals with remarkably well:
Why the lowest points in our lives shape our future happiness and success; why bad things are not always bad and why change is a challenge to make things better; Why trauma is not always destructive and can often lead to profound and positive changes; Why there is a reason for optimism when faced with any problem, setback or adversity.
That all sounds “nice”, but the value of the book lies in the acknowledgement that not everyone that has a problem finds an opportunity. The bulk of the book explores the specific strategies that people have used to find the flipside of adversity. The answers will surprise you.
Don’t miss this one! Now more than ever, when as leaders we have
to be “dealers in hope” (to quote Napoleon).'

The Flipside: Finding the Hidden Opportunities in Life
"Whether you're smack in the middle of a crisis or just committed
to always seizing all the opportunities in life, The Flipside will inspire
you with stories of real-life heros and sheros, and give you the mental
agility and resourcefulness to use all the cards you've been dealt, both
good and bad, to create more of the life you want."

The Flip Side is a most enjoyable, well-written book. The author
manages to convey the facts and figures without going into a long-winded
and rambling account, which more often than not can be boring in other
books of this type.
This book jogs along at a splendid pace, always keeping the reader’s attention and interest.
And what to me is the criterion of a good book, it makes one eager to read on. I found it hard to put down, always wanting to see what the next chapter would reveal.
It is a truly inspirational account, showing as it does, how people with the right attitude to life can overcome some of the most difficult experiences.
In fact, were I in a position to do so, I would make it compulsory reading for all those ‘Moaning Minnies’ out there, who sit waiting for someone or something to turn up and make things better, instead of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and getting on with life.
Life is our greatest treasure to be lived and loved to the full. This book tells how, who, when and where many people, some of them now world famous, got up and got on with life despite seemingly insurmountable odds.
