Recommendation

The world offers plenty of bad news, but you needn’t wallow in negativity. Choosing to focus on the positive in your life and surroundings improves your work, health and emotional life. Former national TV newsperson Michelle Gielan describes spreading positive news as “broadcasting happiness.” She serves up interesting, accessible, if well-known content and sound, practical advice for dealing with negative people. getAbstract recommends this bright reminder of the importance of being optimistic and sharing optimism to managers who want to uplift their troops.

Take-Aways

  • The stories you tell yourself and others affect your thinking and influence those around you.
  • Success at work depends on optimism, engagement and helping others.
  • You can correct negative thinking like any other bad habit.

    I agree with the author that a positive outlook has benefits but I don't see in the abstract any mention of fighting an uphill battle. Not to be too negative ;0) but I think this would be harder to put into practice than the author suggests.
