Think Straight
Darius Foroux
In these past few months my thoughts were running rampant, at times it got fixated on the past and then was anxious about everything that’s about to come next. These thoughts were affecting my academics and I knew I had to get rid of these thoughts, that totally seemed impossible. Distressed, I went on Amazon and searched for books to help control thoughts and there I found this masterpiece “Think Straight” by Darius Foroux.
I will continue sharing my experience once I share a little bit more about this book.
This book is a collection of personal experiences of the author tackling these useless thoughts. The sole idea behind this book is to preach pragmatism. The author in the first page has urged the reader of this book to follow what’s been taught here otherwise don’t read this book! The author has suggested practical advice to get rid of these futile thoughts and improve the thinking and decision making skills.
The book is clear and practical, is based on real-life experiences, focuses on pragmatism, has actionable tips, has comprehensible language, and it will surely help in personal development.

Personal Experience
I wasn’t sure about why all these thoughts come to me? Is it me or everyone has such thoughts? Thoughts like: What if I fail? What if I don’t follow a proper diet will I get severely weak? What if I don’t make back up plans for every dream I will be stuck!
These thoughts led me nowhere, and killed my precious time that I’d utilised into building new skills or writing a book review on medium, hmm? After reading this book, I realised that these thoughts will be there, we can’t make them vanish! But, we surely can diminish the intensity of such thoughts by ignoring the useless thoughts and nurturing the good ones.
Happy Reading, Folks!
