Heartwarming, inspiring story on the power of optimism when you find yourself in a dark place
Audacious Optimism delivers a riveting account of Shanna Adamic's journey from a highly successful career as a corporate philanthropist and former professional cheerleader, to surviving a rare and life-threatening brain tumor, to limited mobility and a 4% chance of regaining facial function on her right side, to her complete recovery and developing an unwavering dedication to optimism.

Embracing the unknown, igniting willpower, and envisioning beyond the impossible
Finding the strength to mindfully choose optimism, even in the darkest of times
Leveraging optimism in every arena throughout your entire life to become an unstoppable force
