What to expect
Contagious Optimism is an uplifting book of stories and parables about amazing life turnarounds. A compendium of encouragement, it includes advice and guidance from business leaders, visionaries, and just plain folk.

Contagious Optimism shows readers that it's possible to look for and find silver linings. This is pure inspiration that will lift hearts, open minds, and create a movement of pass-it-on hope and happiness.
Featured in this book are stories and endorsements from such "contagious optimists" as Michael Beckwith, founder of Agape International, the single largest interfaith church in America; Nancy Ferrari, the "Oprah of AM Radio"; and Daniel P. Tully, CEO emeritus of Merrill Lynch.
