(PRWEB) October 23, 2013 -- Examiner's Love Letter section featured David Mezzapelle, author of Contagious Optimsim: Uplifting Stories and Motivational Advice for Positive Forward Thinking for his incurably positive attitude. As Janet Gallin writes, "David was the boy who liked falling off his bicycle because he knew it meant he could do better next time. An athletic blunder was a valuable lesson in how to improve. He has, by nature, approached all his life with this attitude of seeing the upside of the downside." According to the Examiner, it's not hard to get into an optimistic mindset; in fact, "The best news may be that once you see the concept as David presents it, you may well find out that you are already a much more optimistic person than you thought you were and well on the road to where you want to be."
Another contagious optimist David Martin, whose story appears in Mezzapelle's book, will appear will appear in person for a book signing at Pilgrim's Way in Carmel on October 25, 2-4pm.
