Book Review - Three Good Things

About the Book

Three Good Things: Happiness Every Day, No Matter What! is about making each day a good day. The book reminds us that we have the power to have any kind of day or life that we choose. The author began telling the Three Good Things story in training sessions to illustrate the power of perspective and positive expectations. Three Good Things would consistently be written under, the most important thing I learned. This happened whether the topic was marketing, planning, decision making, or nonprofit management. The simple concept as portrayed in this book is astonishingly powerful.

My Take on the Book

This is a great self-help book that provides readers with a great way to replace your negative thoughts with positive ones and how replacing this allows us to lessen the stress within our life. 

The book itself was quite uplifting and allows the reader to be optimistic within our life. This optimistic view on life idea was one that amazed me and that by focusing on this, one is able to boost their confidence and productivity. The book also talks about the idea that spreading happiness is good for everyone and that if you do work to catch this happiness, your life and the lives of others around you will be unmistakeably changed for the better.

My Take on the Book 
Though I had never read any of Erika Oliver's writings in the past this book providers readers a great way to helps them identify, move through and replace damaging self-talk within themselves.

The book is a down-to-earth straight shooting book that allows the reader to have some great tools that assist with their overall self-improvement.



I found the book to be very practical and that each of the sections are set up to assist one with changing the way that they think and to set aside negative self-talk (which so many of us deal with on a daily basis). The author's idea was so simple and provides us with the opportunity to take positive steps toward toward changing our future for the better.


The overall book, though short, was an easy read and one that people could easily read over and over to gain even more information with each reading!
