Becoming an Optimist

Meet Lewis Worth - a man so committed to cynicism, he once called Mother Teresa a fraud. Unemployed, broke, and freshly orphaned, Lewis stumbles into a temp job at the bizarrely cheerful GinnVentions, where the chairs are giant balls, the walls promise "boosted creativity," and the CFO might not even know his own name.Intent on proving the world is as bleak as he's always believed, Lewis instead finds himself face-to-face with a cast of coworkers who challenge his assumptions, test his patience, and maybe - just maybe - offer him a shot at something more.Sharply funny and surprisingly heartfelt, Becoming an Optimist is a novel about first impressions, second chances, and the unexpected power of letting people in - whether they're balancing on exercise balls or simply showing up when it matters most.Sometimes, optimism doesn't arrive like a lightning bolt.Sometimes, it sneaks in quietly - one awkward smile at a time.
