SPONTANEOUS OPTIMISM

Bathing your mind in positive thoughts is the theme of this book. It contains advice such as reading an inspiring book instead of watching the often negative news. The authors are frequent speakers and use positive imagery by picturing their audience laughing. This puts them in a good mood and transmits optimism to their listeners. Reading with enthusiasm and energy, they have slightly nasal Midwestern accents. They are less than stellar in the section of relaxation exercises, however. Instead of being relaxing, their voices are a bit grating. A.G.H. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 01]
