Cheerfulness

By Garrison Keillor

Book Overview

In Cheerfulness, veteran radio host and author Garrison Keillor reflects on a simple virtue that can help us in this stressful and sometimes gloomy era. Drawing on personal anecdotes from his young adulthood into his eighties, Keillor sheds light on the immense good that can come from a deliberate work ethic and a buoyant demeanor. "Adopting cheerfulness as a strategy does not mean closing your eyes to evil," he tells us; "it means resisting our drift toward compulsive dread and despond." Funny, poignant, thought-provoking, and whimsical, this is a book that will inspire you to choose cheerfulness in your daily life.

Customer Reviews

fantastic

Like Garrison I am 81. A few days younger. This book is a fantastic read. I would encourage everyone, at least men to read this book. Kindness to each and every one you meet and great. This is his best. Maybe because of our age. Each of us can find at least one thing in it that is also us. At 81 we can see the handwriting on the wall.
