"With fist-pounding passion and clarity, Tommy Newberry nails the truth in The 4:8 Principle. I urge you to listen up. A new way of life is possible."

As a pioneer in the field of life coaching, Tommy Newberry has helped thousands of seasoned business leaders from such organizations as Chick-fil-A, Young Presidents Organization, and Primerica transform their lives, their work, and their families through changing the way they think.

In his latest book, The 4:8 Principle: The Secret To A Joy-Filled Life (September 2007 - Tyndale House Publishers), Newberry shows readers how to cultivate intentional, focused thinking in a way that maximizes your potential for joy. This popular speaker and bestselling author will challenge some of your most cherished assumptions and nudge you out of your comfort zone.

"I believe that most people aim way too low in life and receive far less than God had in store for them," says Newberry. "How about you? Are you fully alive and fully engaged with the opportunity to make the most of your one and only lifetime?"

The average person thinks approximately 50,000 thoughts per day, and these secret conversations you hold in the privacy of your own mind are shaping your destiny, little by little. Each thought either moves you toward your God-give potential, or it moves you away.

When you learn to think differently, you'll influence every part of your life. Newberry offers practical exercises and powerful questions that will help you discover that when you dwell upon your strengths, goals, and the people who love you, you will attract even more blessings and love. And when you change your thinking, your character can change. Your life can be transformed!

In the pages of The 4:8 Principle, Newberry offers unique advice including:

40 "Junk Producing" thoughts to avoid
40 "Joy -Producing" thoughts
Gratitude Blockages such as the "owe me" attitude and excessive noise
How to keep R.A.T.S. out of the house!
How to upgrade your joy software

Step by step, let Newberry lead you into discovering, developing and protecting your joy. These are field-tested strategies, sensible suggestions and sustainable approaches to living a joy-filled life.

It all begins when you learn to think like God thinks. You might be wondering how we can do that. Well, it's impossible to literally think like God. But we can learn to focus our thoughts on things that reflect and honor his character. We can mirror his image in all we do.

Newberry suggests that we begin by following the advice of Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:8, where he challenges us to seek out and dwell on the positives in our lives. The verse states:

When you follow the simple steps in The 4:8 Principle, and learn to filter your thinking, you'll reap big dividends. When you live in alignment with The 4:8 Principle, you'll discover a positive life change that will affect you, the ones you love, and the generations to come.

By practicing the The 4:8 Principle, you can:

Strengthen your marriage relationship
Bring out the best in your kids
Hit your financial goals more quickly
Become more fit�physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally.

Being joy-filled doesn't mean your life is perfect. Rather, it means you trust God, and believe he has great plans for your life... regardless of your circumstances. As you learn the ways of joy, you'll discover that true joy is not a destination—it's a journey. Where you have been, what you have done, and where you are matters less than where you are headed.
