Optimism

I'm reading a book at the moment about one mans quest for optimism.

At first, I felt the book was a pretty weak attempt at creating a lightweight, humorous read for people simply looking to pass the time.

However, as I often find with reading, if you persevere and force yourself to keep on reading, you get rewarded. The book is really starting to explore some interesting ideas to do with optimism, positive thinking and creating your own destiny.

The problem with a lot of these ideas is that to most people, they sound like silly, hippy, peace and love rubbish.

But this stuff actually works - it's completely true.

I don't want to take up time explaining why I believe it to be true, but I suggest you try it - for the next few weeks, remain positive. Try to look for the best in everything and tackle problems with a cool head. It'll make you happier.
