Difficulties and struggles are unavoidable in life, but a person has complete control over one’s personal response to the situation. This book offers readers a plan for responding with optimism for both the challenges and blessings that come their way.

2022 International Book Awards — Finalist Spirituality: Inspirational Category

Our brain’s default setting is negativity. Ask anyone who has ever tried to lose weight, achieve a new skill, or incorporate a new habit and they can tell you that our natural tendency is to levitate toward mediocrity. However, optimism overpowers that negativity or tendency to be mediocre. International speaker and diversity/inclusion strategist Kimberly Reed’s book
Optimists Always Win!: Unlocking the Power to Reach Life’s C-Suite isn’t merely motivational mumbo jumbo. It is designed to help readers develop a process to stay optimistic all the time. Reaching life’s C-Suite means obtaining a level of happiness, peace, wisdom and growth in all areas of our lives. It’s choosing optimism instead of anger, bitterness, or revenge.

The life events that unfold for Reed in O
ptimists Always Win! will do just that—challenge anyone facing what seems to be an impossible situation and show that victory is absolutely possible. Her heroic battle with her mother’s terminal illness and sudden loss as well as her subsequent battle with cancer will encourage others that one doesn’t have to face adversity with pessimism or hopelessness. Relying heavily on her faith in God and the optimism that she learned to cultivate, Kimberly Reed teaches her readers the ten discouragement eliminators she used, which helped her succeed not just in her fight against cancer but as she lives each day as her best self. The message of this book is simple: difficulties and struggles are unavoidable in life, but a person has complete control over one’s personal response to the situation.

Readers of this book will discover the following ten tools to eliminate discouragement, grow their faith, and engage an optimistic attitude for their own battles with the wisdom Kimberly was taught and subsequently put into practice during her own diagnosis and ultimate victory. They include:

· Discouragement Eliminator #1: Staying Away from Kryptonite

· Discouragement Eliminator #2: Defining Your Life’s C-Suite

· Discouragement Eliminator #3: Quieting the Soul

· Discouragement Eliminator #4: Gratitude

· Discouragement Eliminator #5: Faith at the Speed of Light

· Discouragement Eliminator #6: Unlocking Your Y.E.S. (You Empower Self) Factor.

· Discouragement Eliminator #7: Be Willing to Give What You Require

· Discouragement Eliminator #8: The Art of Becoming a Chameleon

· Discouragement Eliminator #9: The Power of Your Rearview Mirror

· Discouragement Eliminator #10: Taking the Elevator to Life’s C-Suite

These tools will help develop the fortitude to face every area of life with faith and optimism.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Kimberly Reed gives the reader concrete tools to eliminate discouragement and embrace an optimistic attitude. . . .This book is a must-read for everyone facing life's difficult challenges--which means all of us at some point in our lives. Kimberly Reed helps us regard challenges not as tragedies but rather as opportunities to become the best we can be. -- Dahlia M. Sataloff, MD, professor of clinical surgery, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania

"Optimists Always Win! is an energetic and motivating self-help book to help you overcome life’s challenges.

With clarity and experience, Reed breaks down what it takes to turn your life around, using optimism as the vehicle. We humans have a natural tendency toward the negative, but the author knows how to break that age-old chain and unleash the power of positivity." ―
Reader Views

"Kimberly Reed's writing is honest, open, and inspiring to the reader... The quizzes, scoring tables, and explanations are helpful and well done. She never turns anything into a sermon." ―

Perfect guide to developing and maintaining Optimism throughout life's journey!!
With lots of excitement, I purchased this book a few months ago. While I consider myself a pretty optimistic person, we all need reminders to keep a positive attitude thru life's obstacles. And this book is a Perfect guide to help you develop and maintain Optimism and Gratitude, thru challenging times. It's the kind of book that you re-read whenever you need some Uplifting. It is truly a great and inspiring read.

    What great stories and truth telling. I appreciated the author’s candor. LOVED! There are 10 Discouragement Eliminators. I read one of the reviews when someone said, the author said just exercise, meditate and pray. What? No one can teach you how to be happy or optimistic. All any person can do is share their own story and what they did to overcome those very dark moments. I read this book twice and it did just that. I now adopt some of the things the author suggests in each chapter to create a consistency in your life. I love the exercises and journal to write in. I do not know the author, but her authenticity beams through the pages and she truly cares about her readers. It takes courage to share your story. I love this book! I encourage everyone to read this book for a big boast during these times! It is not the Bible, it is a self help book. Also, read the other reviews as well. You will not be disappointed. And the book proceeds go to charity. — There is a difference between a hater review and a person with the right agenda.

    I loved AKA Soror, Kimberly S. Reed's book.

    I suffer from Depression and was in a depressive episode back in November, 2022.

    I picked up Miss Reed's book and started reading it. The Bible accounts and scriptures cited were very comforting to me and helped me to recognize the importance of GOD"s LOVE, MERCY, GOODNESS AND GRACE.

    Thank you AKA Soror Kimberly S. Reed for an outstanding book, that I will consult again and again and again as I continue to battle Depression, as well as deal with the trials regarding taking care of my very, very sick, elderly Dad and my sick, elderly Mom.

    Best regards always,

    Kimberly Reed is unabashedly FABULOUS and demonstrates such strength of character. Lots of incredibly useful tools for staying optimistic. And, you can be a chameleon while remaining true to yourself. I've always known that we present different personas depending on the circumstances, but her articulation provides a frame for how best to understand this useful dynamic. Bravo!

I thought I was an Optimist but Kimberly’s book has truly helped me to develop a process to stay optimistic at all times. Thank you Ms. Reed for your insight and knowledge that you share. This book is a must read.

    Excellent easy to read book. However, this is a work book. In order to reap the full benefits, you'll have to spend time in self-reflection, answering hard questions, and doing the work the author challenges you to do.
