Whether you want to improve your career, your well-being, or your relationship, this path will help you reach your goals—and enjoy the journey too.”—Ruchi Gupta Mahajan MBBS MD

“This courageous writer beautifully outlines that we all have mental health that must be consistently nurtured with positivity. The book is a memoir, a practical guide backed up by science, a workbook, and an exciting example of how Caitlin Margaret works in her professional practice. It reads well and should be read often.”—Charles Biss, director of the Child, Adolescent and Family Unit of the Vermont Department of Mental Health

“In an exceedingly refreshing, energetic, and user-friendly look at the benefits and tools of positivity, Caitlin accomplished a unique and much overlooked task. By describing, in nuanced detail, the human ‘bias against ambiguity,’ the ‘negativity bias,’ and the crucial responsibility of facing negativity with compassion, curiosity, and creativity, her book offers many new opportunities.”—Margaret Acerra, LCSW
