First Positive Psychology Fiction Book, The Truth (I’m a girl, I’m smart and I know everything) is a Hit!

Tonight I was at a book signing in Howell, New Jersey at the Barnes & Noble there. As I was meeting and greeting some many different people, and busily signing books, I found myself explaining how The Truth (I’m a girl, I’m smart and I know everything) is so different from other books for girls, tweens, teens and moms. For one thing, it is based on Positive Psychology principles that encourage living up to one’s potential, celebrating our strengths and holding on to our most authentic selves as we grow.

On the other hand, rather than being a typical self-help book, it is a true fictiional read. It is a girl’s diary and one quickly becomes involved with the girl and her life. There is a mystery to be solved and lots of action. It is a fun read.

Also the book can be used after one reads it for endless discussions as the topics brought up in the book are vital to growing up, and even to being a woman.

Soon on this blog, I’ll be taking you through pages and sharing ideas for discussion with you.

    I’m thrilled to hear that the book is a success! And why shouldn’t it be? It’s about time authors such as yourself wrote books about empowering girls and teaching them that they are capable and deserving of happiness and success.

    Going to order a copy of your book. I’m looking forward to reading it. I’d love to chat sometime informally about how you view “raising girls” and also about how you found a great publisher for your “positive psychology” series. I am very busy with ParentingPink.com right now, but eventually I would love to publish a book on recovering from teen sexual assault. Yes, I know the topic is grim, but PTSD is my specialty and I have worked with so many young women that have inspired me. I’m sure you have too.
