I got this book with great hope in it's title. I'd hoped for something motivating and inspiring but it was a great disappointment. The author spends most of the book talking about his awards and recognitions for this or that and little if anything actually helping a negative thinker be optimistic. I saved chapter 15, I think, and discarded the rest of the book, something I NEVER do. Stick with Tony Robbins' Awaken The Giant Within, much better read, much more advice on being optimistic.
