Summary

The creation of a more positive life has long been the domain of prophets, poets and philosophers. In recent times that perspective has shifted. Social scientists have moved their attention from the normal and the negative to the positive and the extraordinary. We are now beginning to supplement the visionary wisdom of the prophets, poets and philosophers with the factual observations of science, science that says positivity is key to success. Bestselling author Robert E. Quinn and his son Ryan Quinn present a combination of science and stories to illustrate the tools for achieving a transformative new vision, a new voice and a new and positive perspective in any situation.
