Synopsis

With practical advice and step-by-step exercises, learn how to use optimism to overcome setbacks and find inspiration and fulfilment in all areas of your life. The statistics on the power of optimism are staggering. Studies comparing pessimistic people with optimistic clearly show that optimists possess the ability (among other things) to excel academically, professionally and in sports, to resist infectious illness and fend off chronic disease, and to overcome setbacks in their life quickly and without fear. With its foundations firmly embedded in the scientific principles of cognitive behaviour, Learn to Be an Optimist suggests realistic ways for you to transform your life by opening your mind to a more positive attitude. Inspiring practical advice and step-by-step exercises help you to recognise and deal with problems based on them being temporary, specific and external, rather than expressions of any failure in you as a person. You will feel the benefits of this approach in the form of increased productivity in the workplace; improved personal and professional relationships; better physical and psychological health; and even prolonged life-expectancy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Research has revealed that an optimistic approach to life leads to concrete mental, emotional, and physical results, including a longer lifespan, reduced stress, and a better chance of recovering from serious illness. Learn to Be an Optimist, the latest title in our popular mind, body, and spirit series, explores the benefits of a good attitude. Author Lucy MacDonald teaches readers to develop the confidence, resilience, and peace of mind that unlock this positive change. Packed with appealing illustrations and practical exercises, Learn to Be an Optimist examines the nature of optimism and its emotional and physical impact, and then helps readers to bring optimism into every aspect of life, from relationships and parenting to school and the workplace.
