One day, best friends Jonas and Stephanie decided they would write a book together, and before a word was even written they already had a title for it: It Just Happened the Other Day: A True Story.
Whenever Stephanie told a story, she would begin by saying, "It just happened the other day," even if what she was about to say happened months or even years before. And whenever Jonas told a story, he would begin by saying, "It's a true story," even when he was just telling a joke. Due to unforeseen events, the pair never got to write their book. Until now. |

It's been said that the purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon, and this is at the heart of the stories found in volume 6 of Jonas Cain's Positivity Papers. Each essay is written with the same essential question in mind: How can these ideas be used to mark the footsteps of loving kindness?
Topics include passion, resilience, power and authority, encouragement, ignorance and malice, cooperation, change, authenticity, presence, humanity, haters vs. helpers, soul games, boundaries, and good deeds. If approached with open eyes, mind, and heart, these reflections can offer insight to uncover abiding joy—at work, at home, and wherever life takes you. |

Positive thinking is often viewed as the practice of wearing so-called “rose-colored glasses,” pretending that everything is fine and dandy even when everything isn’t fine and dandy. But can choosing to overlook reality really be considered “positive thinking?” Can the experience of a good lie really be a good thing? And can what we don’t know—via genuine ignorance or willful blindness—actually hurt us?
The Positivity Papers: Volume 1 is Jonas Cain’s work to confront these issues by curating scientific research on the effects of positivity and negativity on our work, relationships, and health. Along the way he shares practical principles and practices to employ this research into our everyday lives, and discusses his own personal experiences in applying these stratagems, which readers will find both informative and at times even entertaining. |
