Attitude: The Remarkable Power of Optimism

Rate this book
If you want to reach for success in every area of your life, the most important asset you can have is a faithfully optimistic, winning attitude. In his latest book, Attitude: The Remarkable Power of Optimism, Dr. Nido Qubein shares the treasure trove of wisdom he has accumulated about the power of attitude. He came to this country at age 17, with little knowledge of English, no money, and no connections, but with the attitude that if you work hard enough and smart enough, you can make good things happen in your life. Today, he's one of America's most sought after speakers and the President of High Point University.

Now in Attitude: The Remarkable Power of Optimism, Dr. Qubein shows you how a positive attitude can transform your life, too. Whether you reach success or failure in life has little to do with your circumstances; it has much more to do with your attitude...with your faithful courage...with your choices!

I loved this book and would highly recommend reading it! I'd try to read a few passages a day to help fill my days with more positivity and it definitely worked.

This book is not to be rushed through but to be savored. There are so many awesome quotes and messages in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and it is definitely one you will want to pick up again when you are having a rough day. Even if it to just put things in perspective and move on with a better attitude.

Solid read and fast moving. I flagged a number of pages or quotes to re-read and review. I appreciated the book format, notably inspirational quotes on the left side with the narrative, an explanation on the right side. Tho written 10 years ago, the quotes, narrative and lessons will not age. In sum, worth the read!

Read an entry every day over the course of a number of months - Nido's life story is incredible...I found some of the advice a little trite, but the evidence is in his life!

This book is a small book but with each page holding meaning and a strong message valuable to the reader. The book was given to me from the college I recently chose, High Point University. The present gave the book to each student accepted to offer inspirational words of wisdom. The book may have been on the shorter side, but each page offered a completely new idea and quote to go about your day on. Some were about work ethic while others talked about family life. Definitely a good book for someone looking to start each day with motivation. Even just reading a page a day can bring inspiration with it.

This is a motivational book that focuses on maintaining the necessary "attitudes" for success and happiness. It is not about getting rich, but about "setting your sights on living a life if significance, you use your talents to make this world a better place and work to plant seeds of greatness in the lives of those around you."

I enjoy the premise that significance in lieu of success is the goal because it focuses on purpose instead of financial returns or fame.
