Learn to be an Optimist This is a clear and well-written self-help book. If you have any doubts or misgivings about your strengths, abilities, self-esteem or happiness, youre sure to find valuable information here. Ms. MacDonald discusses the theory of optimism, how to acquire it, how it benefits your physical and mental health, and how to use and share your optimism skills at work and at home. She encourages you early in the book to start a journal to record your strengths, weaknesses, and fears and to keep this journal going indefinitely--its the heart of your commitment. She offers practical advice and exercises as well. However, she doesnt expect perfectionism. Even optimistic people hit hurdles now and then. But the foundation for being optimistic--the sense of control over your life--is what helps these people get through the tough times in fine shape. And when youre optimistic, you have the ability to approach a situation as a challenge rather than a problem. |
