Systems: Using Contrarian Thinking to Power Your Career or Business Engine

This book’s purpose is to introduce professionals who want to think for themselves to contrarian thinking, and offer them a set of guidelines or a system to shape their own thought processes.

To be specific, it is designed for those who don’t want to waste their time fitting in, going with the flow, or following the status quo-a practice that usually leads nowhere.

This is a practical book that focuses on applied uses of contrarian thinking. It’s not for you if you want to philosophize about contrarian thinking or debate it. This simple and concise publication is intended as a practical tool for professionals, entrepreneurs, and students who want to develop and sharpen their thinking, so they can use it to more effectively power their career decisions and endeavors.

This text is about using thoughts and ideas to rise above the noise of the marketplace. It will show you how to think and stand for something different.

Coaching For Better Learning (CBL) has prepared this book for people who believe that, if they think for themselves, they can grab the wheel of their lives, shape their careers, and work towards goals that they want to accomplish, instead of doing what they are told.

We know your time is valuable, so we designed this book so you can read it in one or two sittings. You can also opt to read only the chapters that meet your immediate needs or goals. In other words, we get right to the point.

However, we also provide additional resources on contrarian thinking for those who desire to dig deeper. Once you understand the basics, you can work on your thinking system and game plan at your leisure.

This book focuses on foundational knowledge about contrarian thinking, offering concrete strategies to help professionals and entrepreneurs work on building a contrarian thinker mindset and system. You won’t just find theory and feel-good maxims. We give you an effective framework to help you get going today. You’ll receive enough information and resources to decide whether cultivating a contrarian way of life is right for you and how to get started if it is.
