Relentless Optimism: How a Commitment to Positive Thinking Changes Everything (Sports for the Soul Book 3) Kindle Edition
Studies prove that positive thinkers are happier, healthier, and more successful than everyone else. Discover the simple, proven techniques for becoming a more positive person...
Positive thinking leads to positive outcomes. Study after study proves this. Researchers have found that optimistic people live longer, live healthier, have more energy, have more successful careers, make better decisions, are more productive, are less stressed, have healthier relationships, and (not surprisingly) are much happier than pessimists.
However, a lot has been misunderstood about what it means to be a positive thinker and what it takes to maintain an optimistic mindset. It takes a lot more than repeating feel-good platitudes to make positive thinking work in your life. It takes discipline, commitment, and a proper understanding of what optimism really means in a world that is constantly throwing new challenges at us.
This is a book for anyone who has ever questioned whether positive thinking really “works.”
It’s also a book for those who have tried to develop a more positive attitude, but have found it difficult to eliminate the voices of fear, doubt, and cynicism.
This is a book for anyone who wants to put optimism to work in their life with practical, proven techniques.
In this inspirational fable, you’ll meet Bobby Kane, a 31-year-old minor league baseball player who realizes his dream of making it to the majors is finally coming to a disappointing end. His dream, he believes, was not meant to be.
That is, until Bobby meets an unconventional manager named Wally Hogan. More mental coach than baseball manager, Wally teaches Bobby that if you want to change your life, you have to first change your thinking.
As you’ll see in this book, developing a positive mindset gives Bobby a renewed chance to make his dreams come true—not just in baseball, but in all areas of his life.
Wally teaches Bobby what it means to be an optimist and what it takes to maintain a positive attitude through the ups and downs of life. He teaches him proven, real-world techniques for building and sustaining optimism. These methods have an immediate impact on Bobby’s life and they will have an immediate impact on yours as well.
This book will show you just how powerful a positive attitude can be and it will teach you how to use positive thinking to make your biggest dreams come true.

About the Author
Darrin Donnelly is a writer and entrepreneur. He and his products have been featured in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, Fast Company magazine, and newspapers, websites, and radio outlets all over the world. Based on his twenty years of experience as an entrepreneur, Donnelly believes that the most reliable and trustworthy advice for achieving your goals and improving your life is found in the world of sports. Though the business guru often has an incentive to portray a certain brand image that may not be completely accurate and the self-help guru can be tempted to make promises that are too good to be true, the achiever in sports can't fudge (or inherit) his results. Donnelly's Sports for the Soul series of books are inspirational stories that teach essential life lessons. In the tradition of classics like Rocky and Field of Dreams, these stories are set in the world of sports and though the main characters in these books are usually coaches or athletes, they represent anyone with a big dream and the desire to be successful. The seasons and games they endure represent the seasons of life we all must go through when trying to master a new skill, achieve a new goal, or rebound from a setback. The lessons you learn in these books will show you how to overcome adversity and achieve your goals-whatever they may be. Donnelly lives in Kansas City with his wife and three kids.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is encouraging, helpful. Our thoughts and words help lead us to higher heights, if we are careful and conscious to say and speak "positives"
I particularly liked the various reminders printed in bold which has kept me encouraged.
thoughts which have encouraged me . . . thoughts by the author . . .
"Optimism won't prevent negative events from happening; optimism will ensure that you respond to those negative events in the most beneficial way possible - a way that leads to positive outcomes" and "the people who succeed aren't the ones who avoid failure; they're the ones who learn how to respond to failure with optimism." Being a man of faith and a believer and follower of Jesus Christ I found biblical principles in this book . . . I am a strong advocate for "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks for this is God's will in Christ Jesus for you" and " . . . giving thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ"
A very good, enjoyable read . . .
Whatever is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, if there is anything of good report think on these things (Phil 4:8)
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is an exceptionally well written book, and so much better than the thousands of self help books available today. The bottom line is that reading books about positive thinking is boring. I’ve read dozens of them, and in most cases couldn’t even get to the end. Relentless Optimism on the other hand, is a fascinating parable about baseball. By using sports to convey the message of positive thinking, the author manages to weave an extremely interesting story, and at the same time teaching about the power of positive thinking. Unlike the plethora of self help books on the subject; this one gets the message across by the telling of a wonderful true to life story. This book was hard to put down, yet extremely effective at getting the point across. 5 stars for holding my interest right to the end, and reinforcing the importance of positive thinking in a unique way.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is one of the best books that I have ever read! The optimism lessons in this book will last you a lifetime!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI love self help books, and while this is a great book, I lost interest after I found out it wasn’t based on real events.
I’m big on motivational, and the brain/mind psychology and are interested on how it works, and I completely agree that a relentless optimism is crucial, but I didn’t realized it wasn’t based on true events. Although the theory is right, and I believe it would happen.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAlthough fiction, it feels like a real story. It's written in an easy style that moves quickly. And the message is so powerful!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseDarrin Donnelly does a great job in this book. As I got the book I couldn't stop reading it. The lessons that are taught in this book are very helpful. I also have "To think like a Warrior." Which has alot of the same principles in it and was also very helpful. This book is amazing because it resonates with things that we ad human beings experiences daily. I enjoyed reading this and taking notes, while reflecting on what I have read daily. Thank you Darrin for writing this book. Can't wait for the next one to get here!

- Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseMaybe it's just me - but I was hooked from the start. I had purchased this for my 9 year old son who played football for the first time this year. He was suffering from some low self confidence, and low self esteem even though he's actually good. This book is EXACTLY what we were looking for. It really pushes the point to young and old alike how important it is to stay positive, and gives great examples through the story of how negative pessimistic thoughts can creep in - even in the good times. I could write on and on about this book - I have already lent this out to one neighbor to read to his 8 yr old son...
We bought the other 2 books in this series as well and are in the process now of finishing up "Think Like A Warrior" which has a football theme to it - and again - just incredible writing, loved it... the story isn't so overly complex that a kid is going to get lost and it has enough meat to keep young and old alike hooked wanting to read the next chapter even though you're dead tired!!

Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI am not a big reader but this book made it easy, especially with the team sports setting and positive message that was being sent. You can quickly relate to the character and you learn, or are reminded of, to approach situations with a positive mindset.
