Some of us feel comfortable being seen in public reading a self-help book. Others, like myself, feel humiliated reading one even in private. They just take themselves so seriously, and force you to take yourself even more so. The "Secrets of the SuperOptimist" is just the opposite. It's like a buddhist monk slipping on a banana peel. Wisdom and humor combined seamlessly. And, i did get something out of this book. A lot, actually. And i constantly go back to it, for small chunks of wisdom and insight to get me through the moment, or sometimes the whole day. Such is the power of the seemingly throw-away bits of advice offered in "Secrets..." The authors obviously could have chosen to present their "secrets" in a more conventional format. But, then, you wouldn't want to read the thing. More importantly, you wouldn't be smiling your way back to mental health. - david
