One of Joyce's favorite slogans is, "Where the mind goes, the man (or woman) follows." This was the basis for her bestselling Battlefield of the Mind, and, in this, her latest book, Joyce provides "power thoughts" you can tap into to bring you to new levels of achievement. In Part 1, Joyce shares some potentially life-changing truths and insights on the power of your thoughts, how they influence your life and the importance of the way you think. You'll see how your thoughts affect your health, mental and emotional well-being and spiritual growth. In Part 2, she reveals 12 "power thoughts" that can revolutionize your life if you believe them, allow them to take root in your mind and act on them in your everyday life. You'll be equipped with strategies that provide the antidote for every battle in your mind through a flexible program that works. By using Joyce's powerful keys to successful thinking, you'll be well on your way to achieving the life you desire—and God wants you to have.
