You've heard the question 100 times: "Is the glass half-empty or half-full?" If we are in negativity mode we see the glass as half-empty. Anyone can see its half-empty. When we are feeling negative, we focus on what is missing and lament the lack of water in the glass. When we are feeling more positive, we see the glass as half-full. Of course it is half-full. Anyone can see that. We focus on what we desire, and celebrate the presence of water. Then there are those who see it as completely full - all the time. These seemingly crazy people are not just positive; they are what this psychologist calls pathologically positive. Pathological Positivity is an empowering mental supernormality that lifts us above the normal perception of "reality." It is a higher level of thinking. We see the glass, and our lives, as completely full - even in the toughest situations. How is that possible? How can we see the glass as completely full? Must we make up facts to justify our theory - our pathologically positive position? Do we pretend there is more water?

This audio book will give you "the feeling." The 20-day exercise ALONE is worth some multiple of the cost.
I usually take this kind of book with a grain of salt, but Dr. Paul is the real thing. I have tried the "prescription" exercise at the end and can personally attest there was a notable and lasting difference in my outlook. Is that worth the cost of a book/audio book to you?
Yes, he has fun with it which may at times come across a little.... corny maybe? Yes, "Pathological Positivity" sounds like a book Ned Flanders would write. Read (listen) the book anyway. It opens with a story about a dark time in the author's life that is so REAL and raw and...un-Flanders-like.
Then he proceeds to make a compelling case that positivity is the only sensible way to go. Kind of mind-bending and very cool.
Truth and professional insight outweighs corny 20-1.
