The main reason I wouldn’t have picked the book is that it’s about optimism and I’ve always considered myself a dyed-in-the-wool pessimist although I have been known to fake realism on a good day.

The book does nothing to dissuade me but I have to say that those optimists (so called) are an entertaining bunch especially the Californian ones. And so is the author who takes his self-imposed task of becoming an optimist very seriously and it's a bit sad actually to see him thwarted left, right and cantre.

More fun that I expected to be honest and a nice distraction from some of the literary fiction I usually read.
