If you follow me on social media, you may already know that I have recently published a book called ‘Musings of a Practical Optimist’. But for those who may have missed my previous post, I wanted to take a moment to share more about the book and what it’s all about.
In writing ‘Musings of a Practical Optimist’, I wanted something that would resonate with as many people as possible who, like me, might sometimes be looking for guidance or inspiration on their own path towards a more positive and fulfilling life. In that pursuit, practical optimism is, I feel, an invaluable mindset to cultivate.
Many people have already, without realising, already cultivated the mindset of a practical optimist. I can just say, from my own experience, practical optimism didn’t always come naturally to me! Much like a muscle, it’s taken a lot of work to both build and maintain this mindset over the years.
Obviously, I’m not a guru or a psychologist – nor do I have all the answers. But I do know that being able to think in the way of a practical optimist can be tremendously helpful. I also strongly believe that we can all learn from each other’s experiences and insights.
Representing the culmination of many years of searching, spiritual research, and purposeful wandering, I’ve worked hard to write in a way that takes account of the hardships that life can and will bring. My intention with this book has been to help cultivate a positive mindset in the face of adversity, offering insights and motivation when we might need it the most.
The book covers a wide range of topics, including self-development, conflict, creativity, work, and relationships. Each chapter presents two-word signposts, bite-sized epiphanies, passages of motivation, and exercises for self-reflection, offering readers a question at the end of each chapter to help apply the concepts to their own lives.
It’s my hope that ‘Musings of a Practical Optimist’ can provide a gentle push in the right direction for those who are seeking to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives.
It is with these thoughts in mind that I offer ‘Musings of a Practical Optimist’ as a small contribution to the ongoing conversation about what it means to live a good life.
Now, if you are curious to read a little of the book, here are the first few sections:
Thank you for taking the time to read this sample, and I wish you all the best on your path towards a more fulfilling and optimistic life.
