“Liminal Thinking is the art of creating change by understanding, shaping, and reframing beliefs.”

We’re proud to be kicking off the release of XPLANE founder Dave Gray’s book, Liminal Thinking, this month. Dave’s insights and ideas have left our team feeling motivated to create positive change in our lives, our business, and the world.

To share the excitement of his book release, we’ve gathered three insights from Liminal Thinking to inspire your thinking this week.

You don’t need to be the CEO to create change in your company.

If you want to create change within your organization, you need to change your mindset first. When you start changing the way you think, you allow new possibilities and ideas to form. Start on the path to creating meaningful change with these three Liminal Thinking gems from Actionable Books’ Alyssa Burkus.

You can’t change the past and the future does not exist yet, so the only place that change is possible is in the moment right now.

Why is that important? In a YouTube video, Dave Gray dives into shutting off your autopilot and getting out of your repetitive routine to come back into the moment, do something different, and create change.

You can envision new possibilities and start creating positive change with stories.

People make sense with stories. When you present a new idea based on facts, people often interpret it within their own personal belief system. By promoting your own ideas and beliefs with a story, it allows people to better understand, relate to, and make sense of it. Read more about this practice with a free download of a chapter from Liminal Thinking.
