How bad was your day? Was it really miserable? And have you had enough of the relentless cheer-leading about how happy and grateful you should be? If so, this may be the book you've been looking for. In fewer than 100 pages, Dr. Ronald Pies takes the reader on a journey of discovery--one that stresses life's complexity and changeability. He explores the concept of "optipessimism"--a way of looking at life with humor, grace and resilience that neither denies life's sorrows and miseries, nor gives in to them. Sprinkled with humorous illustrations and quips, as well as providing substantial philosophical commentary, this short and engaging book will help the reader escape the trap of excessive optimism vs. soul-killing pessimism--offering, instead, a path of courage and determination.
