The Thought Swaps series gives readers a pocket-sized window into the thinking patterns behind emotional intelligence, healthy relationships, critical thinking, and more.
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Most self-help books tell you to think differently. Thought Swaps shows exactly what that looks like in real life. Philadelphia author and TEDx speaker Lyndsey Getty created this pocket-sized series to reveal the internal dialogue of someone who already has the skills you want. The books cover everyday cognitive and emotional skills that make a real difference in life.
Each book uses a simple, powerful format: a thought you recognize paired with a smarter swap. For example, if someone lets you down and your first instinct is “I should have known better,” the swap shows what someone with a secure attachment style might think: “I am allowed to feel hurt and still decide later whether to trust again.” Or in a meeting where everyone agrees but something feels off, the swap sounds like: “I don’t have all the information yet, but this doesn’t line up. I’m going to ask one clarifying question before we move on.”
Getty’s work has earned strong clinical recognition. Dr. Lisa Parker Hayreh, a licensed clinical psychologist with over thirty years of experience, calls it “utterly remarkable” and recommends it to anyone looking to change negative thinking patterns. A TikTok post featuring attachment-style swaps received 89,000 views and over 3,000 likes.
“Thoughts drive behavior,” says Getty. “Traditional learning teaches the skill. Thought Swaps shows the internal dialogue of your future self who already has it.”
All five books in the Thought Swaps series are available on Amazon for $9.99 each.
About the Thought Swaps Series
The Thought Swaps series is built on one principle. You can’t regulate your emotions, improve relationships, or think more clearly until you can read your own thoughts. Each pocket-sized book pairs a thought you recognize with an adaptive swap to show what healthy thinking actually sounds like. The series is part of Getty’s broader framework of thought literacy, first published in 2023. Current titles include Attachment Styles in Action, Who Put This Voice in Charge?, It’s Okay to Change Your Mind, New Year New Perspectives, and The Metacognition Playbook. All titles are available at thoughtswaps.com and on Amazon.
