About this ebook
Whether you've lost your job, the man of your dreams, or woken up one day to realize that you have more cats than friends, sometimes it's easy to slip into the mode of looking at life through soil colored lenses. It can take little more than an annoying chirpy onlooker to stroll under your gloom cloud and state “Cheer up. Happiness is a choice, you know.” to leave you seething with resentment. Irritating as they are, here’s more bad news. They’re right. And the good news? The power to bring the downward spiral to a grinding halt is in your hands.
Written by a reformed misery monger turned contented go getter, in six short weeks, this no holds barred guide to perpetual optimism can deliver you on a journey from the doldrums of Crappy to the life affirming realms of Happy, where you belong. From your relationships to your career, this book is brimming with sound philosophy to revolutionize your perspective, inspiring anecdotes to enrich your understanding, and practical exercises that will hand you the power to lead a life of success, a life of love, a life of sheer, unbound happiness. Let the bliss begin.

Rather than take this as a sign that my energy sapping ways weren't doing me any favors, I decided to sink even further into the well of self pity, and adopt a gloomy disposition that would have members of The Addams Family telling me to lighten up.
