About this title

About the Author

Author and teacher Chad Peevy grew up in an emotionally and physically abusive family in rural Arkansas, and spent years learning to overcome the trauma, depression, and anxiety that followed him into adulthood. After earning a Master's degree from the University of Texas at Austin, Chad founded several businesses and nonprofits.  Among these are the Austin PRIDE Foundation, as well as the in-house marketing agency for the world's largest real estate office, an online training company, and, with his husband, The PS Foundation for the Arts. Following his passion for personal development, Chad has created a system for supplanting damaging beliefs with healthy mindsets, and now offers guidance and support to all who want to find the same freedom.

From the Inside Flap

You can release yourself from your self-imposed prison of resistance and sabotage. When we break cycles of trauma, abuse, racism, bigotry, anti-intellectualism, spiritual terrorism, and all other impediments to personal and collective freedom, we are then able to make more room for who we really are.

The 12 Mindset Methods are helpfully categorized into three sections: Self, Strategy, & Social. As a whole, the methods untangle:

• Purpose
• Internal Dialogue
• Identity
• Mind/Body/Spirit
• Becoming
• Money
• Productivity
• Mindfulness
• Asking for help
• Belonging
• Ambition
• Legacy

Chad weaves self-paced exercises within each method to actively engage and support this new framework of thought. He asks you to "decide what your contribution is in this moment," then urges you to ask yourself: "How will I use my life to contribute value and connection?"

Key to addressing the 12 Mindset Methods is to identify your false beliefs--about the world and yourself. Chad forewarns that "the parents who raised you will continue to show up as ghosts in your life." Their imprint is significant, thus the unhealthy beliefs, habits, and relationship styles you learned are hard to break, but it can be done!
