That philosophy forms the basis of, "Says Who? How One Simple Question Can Change the Way You Think Forever," in which Ora vividly illustrates and breaks down her simple yet highly effective method, based on the principle that while we all face obstacles and negative thoughts in our lives, it is not enough to simply examine and be aware of them---we must question and challenge them in order to bring about true change.
Many of the obstacles people face,are the result of their own negative thoughts holding them back. And often those thoughts don't even originate within them; they're the ideas or opinions of someone else---a critical parent or angry spouse, for instance---which they believe without questioning to see if they're even real or true. Since thoughts create beliefs---which then create behavior---negative thoughts are dangerous things to leave unchecked. You must question them, challenge them. Says Who?" shows us how.
More than simple "think positive" slogans and inspirational platitudes, this is not just a motivational book; instead "Says Who?" provides practical, tangible steps to tackling a condition that affects us all: negative thoughts.

Alexander, Ph.D., executive director of the Open Mind Training Institute, author of Wise Mind Open Mind: Finding Purpose and Meaning in Times of Crisis, Loss and Change.
“Rooted in the liberating Buddhist principle, “What we believe, we become,” Ora’s wise and timely book presents a clear and simple method---a series of seven insightful and revealing questions---to not only identify self-limiting thoughts but to mindfully challenge and transform them into insight, passion, and freedom---the requisites that help us achieve our goals while living in peace and dignity in the process.” -- Alan Clements, author of "A Future To Believe In" and "The Voice of Hope: Conversations with Burma's Nobel Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi."
