As an avid reader and lover of books, I consider the discovery of a
good book to be one of life's most delicious pleasures. Learn to Be
an Optimist, by Canadian author Lucy MacDonald was one such
discovery. The first item to strike the eye is the beautiful
presentation of this positive thinking book. Its softly-coloured
illustrations and helpful sidebars offering tips for positive
thinking and self improvement ideas relating to the subject of
discussion make it a very enjoyable read. Backed by solid research,
this self help book covers a broad range of issues including the
benefits of optimism vs pessimism, how to manage health, overcoming
depression, aging with attitude, stress management, how to use
visualization and healing techniques, the benefits of laughter, and
how to develop optimistic relationships.
With a writing style that is clear and accessible, you will acquire
tools that will serve you well for the rest of your life, and
perhaps maybe even pass on to your children and grandchildren.
Although I was familiar with most of its concepts, reading it was
like taking a refresher course in all that is good, and positive
and worthwhile in life. What a wonderful gift idea!
