What is Optimal Thinking?

What is Optimal Thinking and Levels of ThinkingHave any of these thoughts ever crossed your mind?

  • What’s the best use of my time right now?
  • How can I make the most of this situation?
  • What’s my greatest source of well-being?

If you entertain such thoughts, you are using Optimal Thinking.

While many people use this peak form of thinking randomly, Optimal Thinking empowers individuals and organizations to be their best.

Optimal Thinking — the language of your best self — is the mental basis of best practices and peak performance.

With Optimal Thinking, your best self takes charge. When you use this realistic thinking style, you focus on what is most important. You make the most constructive choices, and take the best actions to accomplish your highest priorities.

When the cost of failure is high, Optimal Thinkers take the most constructive actions to achieve the best outcome while we take the best precautions against the worst outcome. When evaluating risk, Optimal Thinkers weigh the probability and cost of failure (including the ability to cope with the consequences) against the costs and benefits of prevention.

What’s most exciting is that it doesn’t matter what stage of life you are in, or in what circumstance you find yourself — you can use Optimal Thinking to instantly make the most of any situation.

On this site, you will find universal, timeless road maps in the art of consistent Optimal Thinking. You will find resources that empower you to lead with your best self, bring out the best from others, and experience the best outcomes — regardless of the circumstances.
