6The Trophy Effect No matter how intelligent, capable, or successful you are, you may question your capabilities or self-worth regularly. You're more likely to be concerned about falling short than you are to be inclined to anticipate success. That's just how humans are wired. Author Michael A. Nitti offers a way to change that negative thought process. In The Trophy Effect, he explains the powerful, subconscious force that causes human beings to focus on their shortcomings (what's wrong) rather than on the positive aspects of their lives (what's possible). To break free of this dynamic, by stepping beyond your fears, Nitti walks you through a metaphorical journey of your mind, allowing you to not only see clearly the actual source of your self-doubt, but how to access your inherent passion and joy. Presenting a formula for freedom, happiness, and fulfillment, The Trophy Effect takes you on a spiritual experience of self-discovery, leaving you fully empowered to both override your reactive mind and take absolute control of your life forever.
