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.
