Synopsis

Entertaining yet profound, easygoing yet powerful, this engaging book reveals how to tap into the hidden power of optimism. Beginning with their upbringing in working class Boston and following the arc of their lives from postgrad wanderlust to the birth of a small business, Bert and John use their experiences to illuminate the ten superpowers on which optimism is founded - from humor and compassion to gratitude and authenticity. Capturing their buoyant, community-focused outlook and supplementing with top-ten lists and the company's iconic stick-figure illustrations, this book doesn't preach. Instead, it offers lighthearted, practical self-help that will inspire and empower readers to embrace their lives with delight and daring.

Media Reviews
In their new book...the Jacobs brothers describe a rollicking entrepreneurial journey that began as a fun way to scrape out a living and evolved into the expression of a simple philosophy based on optimism. That philosophy--laid out in 10 superpowers that are the company's core values--is instructive whether you want to be a better person or build a better business. --Inc.


LIFE IS GOOD: The Book is Bert and John Jacobs' vessel for sharing their philosophy and providing practical self-help to inspire and empower readers to embrace the good stuff. --Boston Magazine

[T]he book devotes a chapter to all 10 of the Life is Good Superpowers, which include practices like gratitude, creativity, simplicity, love and openness and how to apply them to every day life. Not only that, but it also includes inspirational stories from letters that they've received over the years . . . the book isn't just about inspiring journeys out of darkness and into the light, and not all of its content is quite as heavy. In fact, most of it is intended to be light, with various top 10 lists like 'Top Ten Comedy Movies, ' funny stories, and life tips and wisdoms intertwined from cover to cover --Frederick News Post

[The book] chronicles their path to success and offers tips for living your best life. --Improper Bostonian
