Empty Out the Negative: Make Room for More Joy, Greater Confidence, and New Levels of Influence

I am a huge Joel Osteen fan. I support his ministry and have all his other books and have read them multiple times. I am not a fan of this one at all simply because for $20, I was expecting something that would last for more than a 30 minute read. It’s entirely my fault for not reading the description, but this book is more like a gift type book. It is SUPER short (only something like 130 pages) and the spacing is huge. The content is like his other books…relatable stories to inspire. There’s just not much there (which to be honest, might be a huge positive for other people because it’s a quick, inspiring read)

This book was just what I needed in this crazy 2020. It was like taking a walk with a great, wise friend who loves the Lord as much as I do. Sometimes we all need an extra bit of wisdom and encouragement and I highly recommend this book either for yourself, or for someone you love who is searching for stability in unstable times.

We live in a Negative world and we are bombarded with a Negative message. Joel Osteens’ latest book , “Empty out the Negative” can be a panacea and help you release the toxins of life. I have read all of Joels books and they are all positive and uplifting and this book is no exception. As stated by Joel, 80% of people are Negative and 20% are positive. (pg.132) Reading this book and following its advice will benefit you and those around you. This is a short book of 6 chapters, 143 pgs. that can be read in a day or two but it is a book that should be read more than once and shared with others particularly the 80%. As stated in Ch.2 “we draw in what we constantly think about”(pg.24), I would add that we think and draw in what we read about, I recommend reading this.

You have a choice and God encourages us to choose life through ministries like those of Joel and Victoria Osteen. Don’t feel guilty about distancing yourself from others that aren’t good for your future, even if they are family or loved ones. God is and should be your first love. If you don’t walk away from the negative or rid yourself of negative thoughts, you are hindering what God wants to do in your life and those around you. If you truly believe that you are made in God’s image, then there isn’t room for negative because He is good/positive and only good/positive.

Its just a repeat of his other books. Not worth the price, and I like Joel books.
