The Seven Sigma Mindset

“We live in a complex and polarised world, constantly torn between automatic established habits and a strong need for self-actualisation and individual self-representation. Such polarisation results in an imbalance of the mind, a contracted mind that prevents us to think freely and in turn can have a negative impact on other areas in life. The Seven Sigma Mindset helps to diffuse such polarisation and offers the reader new ways of thinking that allow us to free our mind, be more creative and productive. The book engages the reader through great examples and humour while sharing valuable insights and advice supported by research and evidence. A must read for anyone interested in changing old habits and ways of thinking and exploring new ways of living more freely.”

Christine Rivers, Professor of Business Education and Mindfulness, University of Surrey, UK

“Free your mind.

We have around 6,200 thoughts per day, yet 99% of them are repetitive. This is habitual (“six sigma”) thinking: efficient, but often limiting. It simplifies life, yes, but can trap us in unproductive loops.

This seminal book offers a path to “seven sigma” thinking - free, expansive, and creative. It shows how to spot and reframe limiting thought patterns to unlock new perspectives, fresh ideas, and innovative solutions.

Highly practical and immediately applicable to both personal and professional life.

Change your thoughts - change your life.”

Raphael Buck, CEO and Founder of Get Inspired

“This is a truly helpful book for gaining a deeper understanding of the perspectives and structures of transformation processes!

Rather than focusing on superficial trends, self-optimisation and simplistic terms, Andreas Moosdorf presents an accessible 7 Sigma model that successfully addresses the complexity of change processes. The book is also unusually well-written and can be used as a pragmatic and insightful companion — a ‘coach’ for your own change processes. The numerous exercises and practical aids demonstrate that the author is an expert who draws on real-life experience rather than theory.

The seven perspectives are presented in a clear and practical manner, resulting in a systematically integrated, holistic picture. Highly recommended!”

Tom Andreas, Founder and Head at Institute Tom Andreas

“If you’re leading through growth, scale, or simply the everyday madness of building something meaningful, this book’s worth your time. It doesn’t just shift your mindset, it gives you tools you can apply the next day.”

Yianni Tsitouras, Founder and CEO, POHA House

“The Seven Sigma Mindset impresses with its extraordinary clarity and depth in dealing with thinking as the key to change. What particularly fascinated me is the transferability of the content, whether in everyday working life, in an educational setting, in sport or in personal life. The reflection exercises are not theoretical games, but consistently invite you to question ingrained mental patterns and allow new perspectives. The seven levels of free thinking in particular provide a strong framework for understanding and supporting development in a holistic way. A book for anyone who not only wants to think differently, but also wants to act more consciously. In every context.”

David Breuer, Mental & Leadership Expert | Erfolgsupdates.de

“Managers often rely on innovation through processes without questioning the underlying thinking behind those processes. The book The Seven Sigma Mindset highlights precisely this problem: it explores how our thinking works and how we can unleash it to promote creativity, innovation and freedom. This book should be required reading for every future manager.”
