Synopsis

Studies prove that positive thinkers are happier, healthier, and more successful than everyone else. Discover the simple, proven techniques for becoming a more positive person . . .

Positive thinking leads to positive outcomes. Study after study proves this. Researchers have found that optimistic people live longer, live healthier, have more energy, have more successful careers, make better decisions, are more productive, are less stressed, have healthier relationships, and (not surprisingly) are much happier than pessimists.

However, a lot has been misunderstood about what it means to be a positive thinker and what it takes to maintain an optimistic mindset. It takes a lot more than repeating feel-good platitudes to make positive thinking work in your life. It takes discipline, commitment, and a proper understanding of what optimism really means in a world that is constantly throwing new challenges at us.

This is a book for anyone who has ever questioned whether positive thinking really "works."

It's also a book for those who have tried to develop a more positive attitude, but have found it difficult to eliminate the voices of fear, doubt, and cynicism.

About Darrin Donnelly

Darrin Donnelly is a writer and entrepreneur. He and his products have been featured in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, Fast Company magazine, and newspapers, websites, and radio outlets all over the world.

Based on his twenty years of experience as an entrepreneur, Donnelly believes that the most reliable and trustworthy advice for achieving your goals and improving your life is found in the world of sports. Though the business guru often has an incentive to portray a certain brand image that may not be completely accurate and the self-help guru can be tempted to make promises that are too good to be true, the achiever in sports can't fudge (or inherit) his results.

Donnelly's Sports for the Soul series of books are inspirational stories that teach essential life lessons. In the tradition of classics like Rocky and Field of Dreams, these stories are set in the world of sports and though the main characters in these books are usually coaches or athletes, they represent anyone with a big dream and the desire to be successful. The seasons and games they endure represent the seasons of life we all must go through when trying to master a new skill, achieve a new goal, or rebound from a setback. The lessons you learn in these books will show you how to overcome adversity and achieve your goals-whatever they may be.

Donnelly lives in Kansas City with his wife and three kids.

Theme: believe in yourself you won't go farther then you believe you can. shoot for the stars if you don't reach your goal, you still made it further than you realize you could. The book shows this by having a minor league baseball player get sent down and when he shifts his attitude he does better.......more
