Relentless Optimism: How a Commitment to Positive Thinking Changes Everything (Sports for the Soul Book 3)

Sometimes the simplest things are the most powerful things. This simple book was extremely powerful. Darrin Donnelly does a fantastic job of putting sometimes the most elusive things like self-confidence and positive thinking into a simple story that not only captures your attention but captivates it. Fantastic read.

Although fiction, it feels like a real story. It's written in an easy style that moves quickly. And the message is so powerful!

I like that with the encouraging coach that knows how to coach. Optimism is a mindset. Yes the book seems to over simplify it while reading it. However, it's easy to lose focus while in the moment for life. This book is a good reminder is a mindset and you need to be continuous to stay optimistic even when life is good or bad. I encourage people to read this book.

I love self help books, and while this is a great book, I lost interest after I found out it wasn’t based on real events. I’m big on motivational, and the brain/mind psychology and are interested on how it works, and I completely agree that a relentless optimism is crucial, but I didn’t realized it wasn’t based on true events. Although the theory is right, and I believe it would happen.

This is one of the best books that I have ever read! The optimism lessons in this book will last you a lifetime!

This is an exceptionally well written book, and so much better than the thousands of self help books available today. The bottom line is that reading books about positive thinking is boring. I’ve read dozens of them, and in most cases couldn’t even get to the end. Relentless Optimism on the other hand, is a fascinating parable about baseball. By using sports to convey the message of positive thinking, the author manages to weave an extremely interesting story, and at the same time teaching about the power of positive thinking. Unlike the plethora of self help books on the subject; this one gets the message across by the telling of a wonderful true to life story. This book was hard to put down, yet extremely effective at getting the point across. 5 stars for holding my interest right to the end, and reinforcing the importance of positive thinking in a unique way.

In the past I have never been a fan of reading, as a matter of fact a trip to the dentist sounded better than sitting down to read, but lately I've had a huge desire to change my life for the better. A few weeks prior I bought another great book called Mini Habits by Stephen Guise and I created a mini goal for myself to read just 2 pages of any book once per day. This one little goal has already changed my life. So as I scanned Amazon for similar positive thinking type books I came across this one. I was very skeptical when I read that the story was about a baseball player since I'm not a fan of sports but I'm so glad I chose to purchase this book. This book took me from 2 pages per day to finishing the book in 2 days, a huge accomplishment for me. The story in this book is so well written and so inspiring I honestly couldn't put the book down. I know that by implementing what was shared in this book to my life as it is now, great things are within reach for me. So like I said in my title, I'm extremely lucky to have found this book and if you're interested in making big changes in your life too, this book is definitely one you should live by.

Good Book

I was never interested in sports but this book hooked me . It was absolutely worth the time . A lot of learnings and lessons . Absolutely loved it.

I am not a big reader but this book made it easy, especially with the team sports setting and positive message that was being sent. You can quickly relate to the character and you learn, or are reminded of, to approach situations with a positive mindset.

A commitment to positive thinking. This book is absolutely amazing and everything should read this. It’s so simply written and makes absolutely sense.

An easy read that I couldnt put down ... do yourself a favour and immerse yourself in the story, characters and be inspired to achieve great things ... such a feel good story
