Acerca de esta escucha
One flicker of hope. That’s all it takes to catapult yourself into the life you’ve always imagined.
Success is not born out of skill, school, where we’re from, who we know, or what we scored on the SAT. None of us were born ready. None of us started life knowing how to fly a plane or launch a company or knit a sweater for our dog.
But we are born with something more important than skills. We’re born with optimism—the initial seed for success. Optimism fuels the belief that you can be the one to create the good the world needs. But you’ve got to hone it. And practice it. And determine to live from it.
In Chasing the Bright Side, Jess Ekstrom shares her own inspirational story of how optimism helped her overcome multiple challenges, and the dynamic ways her mindset propelled her as a young entrepreneur, international speaker, and philanthropist.
Do you have dreams for yourself and the world that are tucked away in your box of somedays? What would happen if today was the day you opened the box? And what if that box was the key to a better tomorrow?
Jess' journey will inspire you embrace the power of optimism in your own life, and help you reimagine your purpose so you create good in the world while fulfilling your own dreams—right where you are.
Discussion questions and info on a listener exclusive are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Everything is figureoutable.” Whether you want to leave a dead end job, break an addiction, learn to dance, heal a relationship, or grow a business, Everything is Figureoutable will show you how.

Many of the clients who end up in our respective therapist offices thought they were doing relationships right—avoiding the white picket fence, focusing on careers and experiences over babies and legally-binding documents, choosing someone after they “found themselves” first. However, like clockwork, around their early to mid-thirties, these clients show up at our door. Why? For the first time, they realize that they dislike their relationship and are frustrated by their partner but know that another break-up won’t fix things.

Nothing Is Missing is a “sparkling and impassioned story” (Glamour) of what it takes to show up for yourself—and the joy that can come once you do. Raised in a home where food was unstable and anger was the norm, Nicole learned that she needed to take charge of her own safety and security. So she did: She got into an elite private school by talking to a stranger in her dad’s cab, she strategized her way onto Wheel of Fortune to pay for college, she adopted three girls after meeting their mother panhandling, she quit her job to launch her own business, and she struggled.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Chasing the Bright Side is essential reading for anyone facing a challenge, in work or in life. With emotion, humility, and humor (and some amazing stories), Jess Ekstrom not only demonstrates how anyone with a dream can eventually persevere, but also shows by example how we all can tap into the passion to do so. It's the book I wish I had read before starting my own entrepreneurial journey, but luckily it's not too late for everyone else. I'll be recommending this book to my own children, to the aspiring entrepreneurs I work with, and to everyone I meet who aspires to find more purpose in their life. It's a page-turner that you won't be able to put down until you've finished but holds lessons that will reveal themselves to you for a lifetime." Marc Randolph, Netflix cofounder and first CEO
"Optimism is never accidental. Jess Ekstrom knows this better than anyone. I love that she's given practical, encouraging, empowering steps to discovering what it takes to lead with optimism. Read this today if you want to change your tomorrow." Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done
"'Optimism is a daily choice. It's not naive or Pollyanna; it's a foundation for success in life. In Chasing the Bright Side, Jess Ekstrom will motivate you see your challenges as opportunities to learn and grow and believe the best is yet to come. Every day you can focus on being positive, working hard, and making others around you better, and Jess's inspiring message will help you get there." Jon Gordon, bestselling author of The Energy Bus and The Power of Positive Leadership

Throw Out Fifty Things is truly an eye-opener. According to Blanke, our lives are so filled with junk from the past—from dried up tubes of crazy glue to old grudges—that's it's a wonder we can get up in the morning, never mind go to work, care for our children and parents, and just put one foot in front of the other. Blanke wants to start a movement of people across America throwing out 50 things (magazines count as one!) that will help liberate us from the stuff—both physical and mental—that clutters our lives.

Historia
Throw Out Fifty Things is truly an eye-opener. According to Blanke, our lives are so filled with junk from the past—from dried up tubes of crazy glue to old grudges—that's it's a wonder we can get up in the morning, never mind go to work, care for our children and parents, and just put one foot in front of the other. Blanke wants to start a movement of people across America throwing out 50 things (magazines count as one!) that will help liberate us from the stuff—both physical and mental—that clutters our lives.

Historia
Let’s face it: we all want a seat at the cool table, a great job, and loads of money. But most of us won’t be able to achieve this widely accepted, black-or-white, definition of winning, which makes us feel like failures, that we’re destined to a life of loserdom. That’s the conventional wisdom. It’s also crap, according to comedian and cult hero Chris Gethard, who knows a thing of two about losing. Failing is an art form, he argues; in fact, it’s the only the way we’re ever going to discover who we are, what we really want, and how to live the kind of life we only dreamed about.

By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess.

All you need is a dream & courage to succeed!
I'm on my 2nd time listening to "Chasing the Bright Side". Out of all the self helps I've listened to this one stood out as the most relatable! It gave me so much confidence and made me realize that I don't have to have all the answers. I can figure it out as I go along. I was always that person who thought different and was teased and talked about you know "she think she better" so I dimmed my light for a long time to make other ppl comfortable. Thank you Jess for taking the time to put your thoughts and experiences into the book/audioable 💕

Smiles, Tears, and Laughs
This book was everything and more. The writer pulls you during her story and helps you visualize her experiences in a way that makes you feel like you're there. I laughed, cried, and really dug deep within myself when listening. I've been telling everyone about this story and how impactful it is. I love that the writer narrates her own book. I wish I could listen to her read more.

Raw honesty and a heavy dose of encouragement!
Jess is a fantastic storyteller - incorporating her personal sense of humor and a raw honesty about her experiences as an entrepreneur. As someone getting her own business off the ground, I felt empowered to tackle even the potholes in the road, because Jess displays humility in a way that's encouraging to the reader.
This book is the perfect gift for start-up owners and people in need of a few good laughs. You'll feel like Jess is your best friend by the end of the book!

A must read if you need loads of inspiration
Jess, thank you for writing who a must read for every new entrepreneur wondering if they are doing the right thing to start a business in this current climate of pandemics, racism and riots! You have inspired me to step into my destiny to change what I don’t like in this world. Hearing you read the book feels like hanging out with a trusted friend. I have been stuck in a place wondering if I’m doing the right thing starting my new company but listening to your truths: the good, the struggles and the funny has helped me focus on what I’m learning and how I can make a difference in the world. You have been a trusted companion every day this past week when I took my daughter on our daily walk around our neighborhood. I’m so inspired by your words that I have ordered the hard copy of the book so I can make notes at my favorite sections in the boo.

Powerful story about not giving up
This is the rare, and awesome, book when the author doesn't make themselves the hero. Reading this book feels as if you're having a conversation with Jess as opposed to some expert lecturing you. The book provides a bright dose of inspiration, and thankfully, tips and strategies you can actually take action on. The combination of humor, "real talk," a directness makes this book a game changer for something looking to shift their life from one of pessimism to optimism.
