Summary

Is this a satire? Is this for real? Should I have another double macchiato? These are only three of the burning questions you'll be asking yourself as you read SECRETS OF THE SUPEROPTIMIST! That's because SUPEROPTIMIST can be viewed as a humorous sideswipe at the self-help genre - or as a startlingly rational approach to feeling more comfortable in your own skin. The choice is up to you! Both views are equally valid, and both reward the reader for taking the journey into a world where "Losing your first million", "Acting like a mallard", and "Removing shoes whenever possible" are suggestions that can lead to massive personal change - or at least make you feel better than the disheveled person sitting across from you on the subway. Sure, there are plenty of books promising you miracle cures, fabulous abs, smarter brains, or spiritual upliftment. Not to mention the philosophical treatises focusing on the nature of man's eternal struggle for self-acceptance. But why buy a handful of books, when SECRETS OF THE SUPEROPTIMIST provides all the answers you'll need - in one pithy volume. Indeed, SUPEROPTIMIST is the first practical guide to living trouble-free, no matter what flaws, misfortune or god-awful challenge you may face on Planet Earth. We might even go so far to say that this is the ONLY self-help book (note to lawyers: check this claim) that reframes the reader's thinking to turn every negative into a positive - and feel 3 to 15 times more confident, courageous, and alive than ever before.

About the Author

W.R. Morton and Nathaniel Whitten met in 1976, which happened to be the 200th anniversary of our nation’s independence. After publishing an underground newspaper which nearly got them both expelled from Henderson High School, Morton went on to get his masters in film criticism from USC, while Whitten graduated from New York University with an English degree, having served as editor of the NYU student newspaper. In the intervening years, both have worked various jobs in creative fields. Morton, who sports a Masters Degree in Communications from USC, has worked as a creative director at AOL, a screenwriter in Hollywood, a life coach/computer troubleshooter for the likes of James L. Brooks, Hans Zimmer and Beck, and an artist whose work has been exhibited in the galleries of Venice, California. Whitten has spent the majority of his professional life as an award-winning copywriter in advertising, most notably with Chiat/Day, DDB, and JWT. He was creative director of his own shop, Weiss, Whitten, Stagliano which produced memorable work for the likes of Giorgio Armani, Ferrari, Guinness, and The Economist. He’s the author of the underground sensation “Easy Air Guitar, Volume One” - the definitive [air guitar] guide, according to the Wall Street Journal). Both Morton and Whitten have been seekers of no-nonsense spiritual advancement for more than 3 decades. Individually and collectively, they have studied shamanistic meta-psychology, zen, wabi-sabi, neuro-muscular sciences, healing arts, traditional kung fu, literary deconstruction, tai chi, and various foreign languages.
