Repetition is the key to success in your transformation of thinking. Dan Tomasulo, a psychologist that specializes in acquiring happiness and hopefulness, has written a guide to teach individuals how to improve thinking in order to be happier and hopeful. This book provides instructions, and action steps to improve your positivity. It is backed by research and includes evidence based practices. The following states of mind are addressed: hope, empowerment, resilience, and optimism. While the science of thinking is explored and explained, the words and verbiage utilized is understandable to all readers. Dr. Tomasulo does a great job of presenting the information in an easy to read format, which also allows the reader to implement provided strategies. If you struggle with negative thinking and/or anxiety, this book is a must read to transform your thinking, and your life. I highly recommend this book. Thank you the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to the author and publisher for giving me an advance copy of this book. The book is well-written and easy to follow. However, positivity is a privilege. This is not properly discussed. Nor is the harm of toxic positivity. This book is fine and helpful for someone who has the privilege and resources to choose to live a positive life, but for many, it is not a reality or a possibility.
