Book Review of No Limit Life by Charlie Shoten

The new book by Charlie Shoten deserves to become a classic. Its simple, clear principles apply to anyone motivated to succeed, not only to the Texas Hold’em poker player. Negative self talk may stand in the way of success more than any other single obstacle for many people. The Shoten Ten Commitments provide a method for intensely focusing the attention on the present with a clear, compassionate mind while putting aside all doubts and fears. Insecure people preoccupied with past and potential future failures and disappointments can take new heart with the Ten Commitments. Thought Terrorists (TT) become the identifiable enemy that the Ten Commitment techniques help to destroy forever. This framework coaches the reader in the unquestionable value of having a joyous mindset. A whole new outlook can result by systematically identifying and destroying the insiduous negative thinking of a lifetime of poor self-esteem. Gratefully enjoying the new, liberated frame of mind may have a ripple effect on others. A wonderful potential exists, the book tells us, for the poker community to embrace these concepts and communicate them to others through the increasingly popular sport of televised poker games.
