Contagious Optimism: Upifting Stories and Motivational Advice for Positive Forward Thinking
by David Mezzapelle —
The fast pace of our lives can seem like an infinite loop. For many, this includes the constant barrage of emails, a 24/7 workplace, busy families, the challenges of uncertainty, and life’s trials and tribulations.
This can make it easy for someone to get sucked into a “poor me” cycle. Instead of dwelling on the negative, Mezzapelle recommends tuning your mind to the positive.
The book is inspired by his idea of “positive forward thinking,” which is the ability to find a silver lining in every cloud no matter how difficult yesterday or today may be.
He believes that we all have stories that can inspire and motivate others. A compendium of encouragement, the book offers pure inspiration that will lift hearts, open minds and create a movement of pass-it-on hope and happiness.
Included are more than 100 stories and parables of amazing life turnarounds and contagious insight from real people, as well as advice from business leaders, visionaries and professionals.
