Good info on how to be more positive

STORY - (self help) The author of this book uses a cute, short story about two dogs who live in an animal shelter to make his point. One dog has a negative attitude (Matt) and the other has a positive attitude (Bubba). Throughout the story Bubba teaches Matt simple steps how to be happier and more positive in daily life. There are many good lessons in the book, but the bottom line is that you need to continuously work at finding the good side of things and being thankful for them. The rewards are better health, less stress, being happier, attracting more friends, etc., etc. I don't consider myself a negative person, but I still think I will benefit from having heard this little story.

PERFORMANCE - The author reads his own work, but I would have preferred a professional narrator. He does an okay job, though.

OVERALL - Recommended for everyone. It's only 1 1/2 hours long and is a pleasant, easy listen. Audible categorizes it as a business/professional book, and I can definitely see how some of the advice would help in a business or team setting as well as for individuals.

cute

Fun, light hearted. It has great points that you have heard in my other positive affirmation books. This book just puts a fun spin on it. the last 15 minutes or so were my favorite.

Great short read

I really enjoyed listening to this story. Short and to the point. Reinforced a lot of what I already practice.

I'll be reading this delightful book once a week!!

If you could sum up The Positive Dog in three words, what would they be?

Empowering, important, essential.

A powerful message we all forget, all the time, is given to us in a very sweet and memorable manner.

Feed the right Dog

great read and entertaining. Different insights always arrive by adjusting our perspective views and positions.
Which dog you choose to feed will always grow larger, so is true of our Attitude.

Thank you

This book was a great book and I plan to use it in my work place.

Simple though loved it.

This was so simple yet so fun to listen to. I enjoyed the shelter story. It is cliche though it’ll bring a smile to your face.

Adopt. Don’t shop.

Be more positive than you are negative. If you are negative, use it to remind you of the good you have in life.

Just a super light read with a vitally important message

See the title of my review. A truly GREAT book, super light, cute with the dogs, not a negative thing that I can say.
