    About this ebook

    Fed up with happiness gurus telling you that you can't be happy unless you get rid of all of your negativity? Sick of all those perky Positive Pollys receiving all the happiness glory? Negatively Ever After will provide the guidance you need to find happiness without the impossible task of eradicating negativity from your life. This book debunks the popular misconception that being positive and being happy are synonymous. Using a simple “Happiness Bank” analogy, the author shares her research, experiences, and missteps in discovering that negativity is not the enemy. From achieving self-adoration and learning what gratitude truly means to determining whether sharing happiness is really a good idea, this book explains how to develop “Negativity Wisdom” in order to embrace and effectively utilize your inherent negative tendencies. Realistic and accessible, Negatively Ever After will help you harness your negativity and find your own inner happiness.

    Deanna K Willmon

    Deanna Willmon graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary social science. A Las Vegas native, she still resides in her hometown with her spouse and two children, both of whom should be finishing their university studies and leaving the nest. Any. Day. Now. Willmon’s professional career has primarily been spent in management and administration, striving to better organize and help make others’ professional lives more tolerable. Her weekends are spent playing board games, reading, writing short stories, and working on her first novel. Despite a (somewhat) irrational fear of the Internet, she can be found on her blog and lurking on most social media sites. She also occasionally creates items for the happy negativist and those who love them in the online store called Slap Happy Sundries.
