Book Preview:

#1 The philosophy of positive thinking is the doctrine of positive thinking at its most distilled. If you decide to think happy and successful thoughts, and banish the spectres of sadness and failure, happiness and success will follow.

#2 The Get Motivated! seminar is a global industry of positive thinking. It is staged roughly once a month in cities across North America. It features celebrity speakers, special effects, and many attendees take advantage of the event’s extra day off work.

#3 We seem to be extremely inept at achieving happiness. The modern-day apotheosis of the quest for happiness is self-help books, which apparently don’t help us become happier.

#4 The idea of seeking happiness is flawed to begin with. It's impossible to define happiness in words, and it seems that trying to find it reduces your chances of ever achieving it.
