We're constantly bombarded with negative messages from the media, advertisers, politicians, and even the people around us. Worse yet, many of us are so critical of ourselves that we're our own worst enemies. But help is on the way. Focus on the Good Stuff offers a plan for dispelling the cloud of negativity that surrounds us. Mike Robbins has created a powerful yet simple new approach for mastering the one thing we need most of all to achieve authentic happiness and be of service to others—that is, to practice the art of appreciation. Appreciation allows you to improve your relationships, create greater success and fulfillment, and experience a deep sense of gratitude for yourself, for others, and for life itself. Written by a former professional baseball player whose career was ended with an injury to his pitching arm in the middle of his third season, Focus on the Good Stuff is filled with passion, authenticity, and humor. Author Mike Robbins offers a step-by-step program with exercises for overcoming negative influence and obstacles, creating a truly grateful approach to life, and establishing an environment that can support success and peace of mind. Reviews "Focus on the Good Stuff is a book that will impact your life and improve your connection with others in a very positive way." —Tom Rath, coauthor, How Full Is Your Bucket? "Mike's book is a magnet for all the good stuff, and the power of appreciation shines brightly and powerfully on each page. You will be filled up and glowing from reading this book and practicing what's in it." —SARK, artist and author, Fabulous Friendship Festival "With Focus on the Good Stuff, Mike Robbins teaches us how to expand the spiritual skill of gratitude so that even in the face of life's challenges we find reason to be grateful and radiate the contagious fire of appreciation to all those who cross our path." —Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder and spiritual director, Agape International Spiritual Center "Mike Robbins has captured the essence of appreciation, which my experience shows is the essence of both stress management and happiness. Mike takes appreciation to levels not seen before, and this is an important book. While many authors, including myself, touch on appreciation, no one else has honed Mike's focus to write this well thought out and intelligently crafted book." —Fred Luskin, author, Forgive for Good and cofounder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project "Mike Robbins brilliantly teaches us how to bring more appreciation and gratitude into our lives, our relationships, and our world.
