I felt that his was a nice quick review on many of the positive behaviors and habits that I have tried to instill in my life sine the day I realized that everyday can be a super-fantastic day.

The story makes the reminders fun! Jon reminds us of the research without going into the details of it. I am glad that I got this book and read it be because it gives me some focus to strengthen my own personal positivity.

This is a very quick read.

A very quick read. The book contains some great concepts that can easily be implemented in life. I give it a 4 for these concepts. But, I give it a 2 for the story. I know it is Gordon's style, I've read all his books, but I struggle with the cheesiness. Average the two together to get 3 stars.
Andrea Kelly
A quick read, with helpful tips on how to become more positive, and an 11-Day Action Plan to implement the steps into your own life. The characters are two talking shelter dogs, which makes the read a great teaching tool for children as well.

It was a nice review of Jon's other books, but I didn't feel I got anything new out of it. If you've never read any of his books, it would be good, but having read many of his others, this only served as a reminder.

Not my favorite Jon Gordon book, but it does make the point that it is all about positivity and how we choose to react to situations and our life.

Very cute story reminding us of the power of positivity. My principal bought this for all of the faculty to ponder over the summer which is very appropriate in this day and age in the realm of education. Good, easy read.

Great book! I read it with my 7 year old son. The story was interesting & simple enough for him to follow along and understand the concept.
