PMA Resources
As I said, I am not going to give an entire lesson on PMA here. I have, however , outlined some of the major benefits of adopting this approach. As I said, it is a way of life. I cannot possibly teach you all you need to know on this short website. What I can do though, is list here some of the better books that have helped, not only me, but many other people along the way. I have had many happy hours reading these PMA resources, and they have helped turn my life around by helping my personal development and growth.
Personal Development
At twenty six, I was basically a no-hoper, lager lout. All I lived for was the next session down the pub, or the next football match. O.K, I still enjoy the football, but I now live the life I choose for myself, and in the style I wish to live it in. Basically, I have everything I want or need, and I put that down to developing a positive mental attitude. It took six or seven years to bear fruit, but, I ain’t half glad I started planting seeds when I did!
So here it is, a list of some of the best PMA resources around, I’ve put links to them on Amazon for your ease of use. Some are available as audio programs so you can save time and listen in the car!

Well, there’s a few to be getting on with. If you like what you find, the major bookstores are full of PMA and Personal Development reading material. I’ve read a lot, but nowhere near everything. I’m sure you will find others that I’ve never even heard of! However, take what works for you from the books and put it into practice. If you believe you have a good attitude already, you can always improve it. How? Well, I make sure I read something good for at least half an hour a day. It is a discipline, and a good one, too. I believe the saying goes “You are what you read”. Says it all really. Happy reading.
