  A companion volume to Positive Thinking , this text aims to show readers how their outlook on life can be transformed by learning how to stay optimistic, despite life's inevitable ups and downs. Life is one long succession of ups and downs. Sometimes the downs seem to take over. Yet if you develop a more optimistic outlook, you can transform your life and not let the inevitable problems and setbacks bring you down. In More Positive Thinking , Vera Peiffer looks at how we act within our society and how we deal with life's inevitable setbacks. She shows us how often we hide behind our problems, so that they can shield us from making changes in our lives. She outlines the myths of the right time , security , dependency in terms of our working or social environment - if we want, we can always construct obstacles in our way which say it's the wrong time to change jobs for example. In this book, you should learn to: overcome apathy, stop putting yourself down, and learn to accept success.
