Contagious Optimism offers listeners the possibility to look for and find silver linings. This is pure inspiration that will lift hearts, open minds, and create a movement of pass-it-on hope and happiness.
Featured in this audiobook are stories and endorsements from such "contagious optimists" as Michael Beckwith, founder of Agape International, the single largest interfaith church in America; Nancy Ferrari, the "Oprah of AMRadio;" and Daniel P. Tully, CEO emeritus of Merrill Lynch.

What if the smartest people in the world understand something that the rest of us don't? (They do.) What if they know that in order to achieve success, they will sometimes have to do things that others may initially perceive as stupid? The fact of the matter is that the smartest people in the world don't run from stupid, they lean into it (in a smart way). In The Power of Starting Something Stupid, Richie Norton redefines stupid as we know it, demonstrating that life-changing ideas are often tragically mislabeled stupid.
