Do clouds truly have silver linings? Betty Rollin answers with a resounding yes in this wise, moving, and funny book about the surprising upsides to life’s most challenging, painful, and seemingly insurmountable low blows. Rollin has been there. After being diagnosed with breast cancer more than thirty years ago–and again nine years later–she managed to find an astonishingly bright side to the darkness. She shares her often zany and unpredictable personal experiences of turning the worst into the best, and shows how others have done the same–thriving in adversity to a remarkable degree and coming to recognize their various blessings in disguise.
Steve Jobs describes how being fired from Apple, the company he founded, was one of the best things that ever happened to him. Homemaker Sally Fleming made a better life for herself and her family after a fire. Only when workaholic CEO Eugene O’Kelly was diagnosed with a terminal illness did he really begin to live his life to the fullest. Bill Clinton, Charles Colson, and others describe life changes after adversity.
Rollin reveals the science behind the theory of adversarial, or post-traumatic, growth. This paradox is not about denying hardship but about finding a way to benefit from it. Seeing the bright enables us to find the good, whatever form it takes, within the bad and proceed from there.
Poignant, timely, universal, and inspiring, Here’s the Bright Side proves that amid life’s struggles and losses, there is much to be gained–wisdom, strength, and, perhaps most important, gratitude. “Try feeling gloomy and grateful all at once,” says Rollin. “You can’t. Gratitude picks you up and puts you in a place where gloom cannot thrive.”

Here The Bright Side Of Failure Fear Cancer Divorce and Other Bum Raps eBook betty rollin Reviews

It's the optimistic side of life. It's not a story. They are experiences that everyone may has live or may will live. But, they are the bright side of them!
Very good.
A light reading suitable as a gift for female cancer patients and divorcees. The writing is good. However, too much emphasis is placed on the benefits or positive changes (primarily matters of perspective) whilst too little is said about the tough fight. It could have been more touching and motivational, IMHO.
If you have run into some tough luck and you have nothing else to turn to but this book, then I'm glad it is here for you. This book is fine for what it sets out to do, but I think it is better to live so you know you will ride out tough times. Betty Rollin said, "I woke up one morning and realized I was happy. This struck me as weird." I'm glad things worked out for Betty Rollin, but I don't want to be surprised I'm happy. I recommend Achieve Lasting Happiness to be happy without being surprised by it. I'm not only happier, but more at peace, calmer.
If you have a friend who is struggling through an illness or a challenge of any kind, this book is bound to help. It is an honest and informed presentation of the bright side of these "bum raps".

This lovely book is the latest creation by a woman who has always spoken intimately about things few people discuss. In the supposedly liberated seventies, people whispered the word "cancer" and few even mentioned breast cancer. By writing the intimate and informative First, You Cry, she changed the way we discussed this killer of women. She also spoke about her mother's death in Last Wish, once again breaking barriers by writing about end of life choices. In Here's The Bright Side, she explores post-traumatic growth and shares the latest findings on how we are stronger and, yes, happier after life's bum raps, as she calls them. And, being a journalist, she backs up her insights with studies on post-traumatic growth and other facet of suffering few discuss.

This book is sure to make you smile and look at your life with joy in your heart.

And, for everyone who reads this and thinks...oh, she must be a friend of the author. Ms. Rollin and I only share an upcoming interview. And we both find ourselves happier and somehow grateful for the bum raps we are surviving.
good reading for anyone.......excellant snippets to keep in mind when going through life's trials and tribulations.
