The Disbelief Habit

Your mind can be a compulsive liar. It tells you that you aren’t enough, that failure is inevitable, and that everyone is judging your every move. We are often told to "think positive" to drown out these voices, but in "The Disbelief Habit," Yong Kang Chan offers a more radical, effective solution: What if you simply stopped believing them?

This book isn't about forced optimism; it's about mental freedom. Chan teaches you how to stop taking your inner critic so seriously. By developing the "disbelief habit," you learn to view your negative thoughts as mere suggestions rather than absolute truths.

★★★★★ "This is the second book by Yong I've read, and so far, my favorite. He has such a wonderful way of writing, it feels as though he was in same the room speaking directly to you.In this book, he talks at length about changing our mindsets and in turn, changing our habits. Yong has gone through was he speaks about, and is very genuine in both his approach and advice. He also speaks about why we think what we do, and how we can adjust our awareness of our thinking. This book helped me immensely, as I know it will help you as well!"

★★★★★ "Yong's book lays out practical action steps for examining and redirecting that nagging voice inside our heads. He doesn't just point out the problem. He suggests specific helps to alter the negative course of your thinking."

★★★★★ "I could not put this book down once I started. So many helpful, honest and practical perspectives on that ever so common "inner critic". I like the 'non scientific' style which preserves the book's simplicity. At the same time, this book undoubtedly has credible information from someone who was bold enough to share his personal process in parts. A true gem indeed!"
