Book: The Path To Positivity, Proven Positive Thinking Techniques for Getting Motivated and Living Your Best Life

Author: Caitlin Margaret

Key message of the book: The Path To Positivity is a practical, well-researched and insightful guide for developing a positive mindset, with all its benefits such as better mental and physical health, and more successful life outcomes. As per the author, positivity is not forcing a smile at all times. True positivity is the result of consistent practices such as challenging our negative thought patterns, cultivating mindfulness and gratitude, and embracing imperfection, self-care and self-compassion. Caitlin further posits that positivity is not developed overnight or to perfection; it is a continuous journey that reminds us of our imperfections and humanity – “Every deep breath, every consciously created thought, every choice you make to try again after failure, every positive emotion you share with another person is evidence that you are capable of creating a positive life“.

One favorite quote from the book: 

“You find positivity not by achieving every desire you’ve ever had or optimizing every moment of your life, but by realizing who you are on the deepest level: a Wise Mind, rooted in important values, learning and growing from every experience, cultivating the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that support you along the way.”
