Product Description

From the Author

This book is based on a relatively new subject called 'Positive Psychology'. In a nutshell, 'Positive Psychology' is the study of happiness and wellbeing, rather than the more traditional psychological focus which has always been on problems.

What is it that positive, upbeat people do? And how do they maintain it in a world that, let's face it, is relentlessly challenging and exhausting?

There are thousands of self help books out there. All but a handful are aimed at the general public or business people. But what about teenagers? Think of the pressures they're under, with exams, relationships, school, society, teachers, parents...and look at the bad press they get! Something needs to change!

'A Brilliant Life' is a positive book, aimed primarily at teenagers. A couple of points worth noting:

1) It's dead simple. The book is written as a gentle story that can be read in less than 10 minutes.

2) The messages, if applied, really work. The book is based on 5 behavioural changes that all teenagers can apply. The undelying message is obvious but very powerful - we cannot control events that happen to us, but we can control how we feel and react to them. We can choose to be positive (even when others around us don't make the same choice!). This doesn't mean we live in some 'happy clappy land'. It just means we are in a much more positive and resourceful position to cope with what life throws at us.

3) There are a series of questions at the end of the book that will cause the reader to think about their current habits and re-adjust in light of the positive messages they've just read.

Every teenager in the land needs a copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Book, 29 Oct 2009
By 
Mark Timothy (Stafford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Brilliant Life: Live Your Life as an Inspired, Passionate and Positive Person (Hardcover)
This book is inspirational and fun. The cartoons are great and the book is easy to read. All this and the ideas are challenging too.

It sets out to challenge a common misconception that life is boring, and that we are powerless to make a difference. And it does this by stating some good principles to live by, with the aim that we can all enjoy life and get the most out of it.

It is great for teenagers, but also good for adults. It is small, "dip-in-able" and a quick read ... ideal to sit on a bathroom shelf for those quiet moments.

It has become required reading for my son, and a timely present for the Godchildren as they start high school.
