I have some more Bright Side Up love to share, from a very fit source: The February 2012 issue of Shape magazine.
“Want to be more optimistic?” the magazine’s editor, Tara Kraft asks on her editor’s page featuring her favorite picks of the month. “Place this engaging new book on your reading list.”
Sounds like she’s one who knows.
Thank you, Shape magazine!
Big love,
Amy
Talk about fun…check out the new issue of Star magazine (the February 6, 2012 issue), and you may recognize a couple things. Yes, that’s Katy Perry and Russell Brand. Oh, and yes, Lady Gaga. But who’s that other person featured in the “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” story? Oh right…that’s me! I’m just mingling with the stars there, doing my best to find the upbeat angle when things go wrong.
As the magazine says, “When life gives you lemons, you need to make lemonade…”
And here’s how the piece looked in the magazine, with the book earning almost half a spread. Talk about getting your bright on. Thank you Star, for loving Bright Side Up!
Big love,
Amy
If I could hug a review of a book, I would hug this one. A big bear hug.
Judy Dutton, who writes the Brain Candy blog at Psychology Today wrote about Bright Side Up on her blog for the magazine. And I think it’s a wonderful summary of the essence of the book.
Read the review on PsychologyToday.com.
As Judy writes,
“Thanks to the brain’s ‘neuroplasticity,’ Spencer argues that we can rewire our brain to think more positively—then she gives plenty of concrete ways to give it a whirl . . . Spencer also provides plenty of stories from her own life—some hilarious, others heart wrenching—that illustrate how this advice has helped her through her harder moments, and her warm, engaging tone will make you feel like you’ve got a new best friend in your corner, cheering you on. If you need a little boost—and who doesn’t?—this book is filled with easy, actionable advice, and is fun reading to boot.” —Judy Dutton, Psychology Today

Great news! Check out the February 2012 issue of O Magazine and you’ll see that Bright Side Up made #3 on Oprah’s list of “10 Titles to Pick Up Now.”

Meeting Your Half-Orange is the positive pep talk that puts finding love back into your own hands. Dating optimism, based on brain science and psychology, will help you become a more positive dater which can actually change your brain, your body language, the way you perceive others and what and who you attract.
