    About this audiobook

    Discover the benefits of being positive. We all have two dogs inside of us. One dog is positive, happy, optimistic, and hopeful. The other dog is negative, mad, sad, pessimistic, and fearful. These two dogs often fight inside us, but guess who wins the fight? The one you feed the most. So begins the story about a negative mutt named Matt and a big dog named Bubba who teaches him how to feed himself with positivity each day and in the process Matt transforms his own life and the shelter they call home.

    The Positive Dog is an inspiring, heartwarming story that not only reveals the strategies and benefits of being positive but also an essential truth for humans: Being positive doesn't just make you better. It makes everyone around you better.

    Jon Gordon has shared the simple, powerful strategies found in this audiobook with Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams, college athletes, school districts, and non-profits and the proof is in the countless success stories shared by Jon's clients. The strategies in this book have grown sales, motivated sales people, improved team performance, developed positive kids, enhanced careers, inspired promotions, improved marriages, and lead to greater individual and team success.

    For anyone looking to overcome negativity and challenges to become more positive, The Positive Dog provides the inspiration and action plan to feed yourself and your team with positivity. When you feed the positive dog and feed others, everyone benefits!

    • 4/5
      A cute way to speak about an important topic.

      This would be an outstanding book for young kids and if I had a 5-10 year old I’d be reading this book to them and engaging with them after each chapter. I believe it could set them up for a much happier life.

      Loved it!! Took a few pearl of wisdom from it such as, "Get to do things, not have to do things" made me realise how lucky I am to "get" to do the things, that before I saw as a chore. It even made me want to cry in the end... Soppy I know!!
      Plan to get a hard copy to keep and re-read.
