I think this book is misnamed. I read an article on this book in a magazine, and as a known pessimist who battles against my pessimistic nature I thought I would check it out, since optimists live longer and who wouldn't want to live longer and have a sunny disposition? 23 pages into the book I discovered that apparently my pessimistic/neurotic (and who wouldn't want to be called neurotic?) "unhappy personality" is biological and inherited. Really? How is that helpful? Ok, that may be the case and I may be no more able to change my 48% inherited "unhappy personality" that I am to become Malaysian, but why then is the book called "Breaking Murphy's Law: How Optimists Get What They Want from Life - and Pessimists Can Too"? So, I read on where I discover that apparently pessimists are a bunch of losers in that they're less likely to be "conscientious" or "goal-directed". So the "happy personality" or optimistic/extroverted are also blessed with conscientiousness and drive. She says these two things are not necessarily related, but that there is a strong correlation between the two. So, what I hear is that my "unhappy, careless, distractible, lazy, impatient, neurotic" self can confine myself to an early grave. And the question you have to ask yourself is, who is she writing this book for? Obviously these fun, fabulous extroverted optimists don't need to pick up this book, since they were blessed by the genetic lottery. Nope, it is those of us who want to improve our outlook who pick up this book only to be called names - in the name of science of course. It's amazing I even have the stamina to finish this review since no good could come of it. Well, I continued looking through the book for the glimmer of hope offered in the title and you know what - she didn't have anything to say that I don't already do. Or frankly anything you don't get out of an issue of Oprah - set tangible goals, work toward them, do things that make you feel good instead of wasting your time on tv. Yeah, like every optimist in the world has trashed their television. I've been setting goals and working toward them for years, and yet I haven't transformed from pessimist-rella into the beautiful optimist-princess. If you come across this book. Don't bother.
