Publisher's summary

In A Dose of Positivity, life coach and television personality Mike Diamond explains his tried-and-true methods for empowerment and offers tools and stories to help you find your purpose and create your ideal future.

Mike Diamond got off to a bit of a rough start in life—battling undiagnosed dyslexia, starting to use drugs and alcohol at age 12, and struggling to finish high school. A stroke of luck, however, earned him a green card in 1997, and he moved to the States, where he landed acting roles and built a career in entertainment, appearing on Miami Ink and NY Ink, and later directing, producing, and starring in Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew. Despite this initial stream of success, however, Mike found himself spiritually bankrupt and thoroughly miserable.

In 2006, realizing his life depended on it, Mike decided to get sober and, with his life completely turned around, has now helped hundreds of people on their own paths to recovery.

In Dose of Positivity, Mike shares not only his own incredible stories of overcoming hardship, but also reveals his personally tested techniques for staying grounded, finding success, and creating positive change. Dose of Positivity provides concrete tips on how to lean on and trust your Source—the spiritual energy and intuition within you—to maintain the flexible attitude necessary for your success.

No matter what obstacles you face, a properly cultivated mindset can make all the difference. With Dose of Positivity, unlock your potential and discover how to make your dreams a reality—with guidance from someone who’s personally tested everything he recommends.

A source of inspiration & life giving knowledge!

If you want a quick synopsis of my review, here it is. "Listen to or read this book if you're looking to enrich your life with positive, life-saving knowledge. If you apply what Mike Diamond is teaching in this book, you will achieve goals you never thought possible."

If you want a little more in depth look at my thoughts on this book, here it is. I first heard Mike Diamond on a podcast. I wasn't quite sure what to expect out of the interview, but after I was done listening, I found myself feeling super motivated and charged with positive energy. I wasn't sure exactly why at the time, but I knew I wanted MORE of this in my life and less of the negative thoughts and feelings that dominate my day to day. Mike had talked a bit about his book, "A Dose of Positivity" on the podcast, so I figured I would seek it out and see if it could further those positive feelings I got from listening to the podcast.

"A Dose of Positivity" is not just a normal self help book. It starts off with a brutally honest look at Mike's life and experiences which are both fantastical and also full of demons we all experience. He does not shy away from his battle with addiction and the past traumas he experienced, which I think is insightful and humbling. It makes you feel like, "Hey, Mike is just as human as I am, and I have screwed up...but so has Mike and look at all of the things he has and is accomplishing just by utilizing a new mind set and way of thinking."

For me, this book found its way to me at the best time. I had been going down the hardest road of my life, work-wise, and it was totally depressing and defeating to be in that realm alone. I listened to this audio book while actually experiencing this dark path I was on, and it not only helped me make it to the other side of my dark tunnel, it gave me wings to soar. Cheesy as that sounds, it's true. I not only crushed my work, I started going to the gym, eating right and not self medicating to try and relax or sleep. Now that my crazy work project is done, I have new tools in my mental toolbox thanks to Mike. I have continued to do nothing but better my life and work to change any negative way of thinking, and things are only getting better as a result of my new found approach on life. Honestly, I could go on for paragraphs about how and why you should listen to or read this book, but I will just say this...if you only do 1 nice thing for yourself this year, make it listening to this book. If you do, it will turn out to not just be 1 nice thing. If you listen to and apply what Mike teaches, you will have a whole damn garden of nice things growing for you and enriching your life daily. Go give this a listen and enjoy what it provides for you!

Amazing Book to Start Making Positive Changes In Your Life

This is the best self-help book I have ever read in my life. All of Mike’s recommendations are easy to process and most definitely attainable to do. His personal stories and life struggles have encouraged me and shown me that there is hope and anyone can change and make a difference not only for themselves but for the people around them. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking to better themselves or simply just to feel happier in life.

Love this book

As an avid reader of personal growth books this ranks among the best. Mike makes things easy to understand and relate to. Definitely a potentially life changing book for those willing to put in some work.

Mike shows that you too are a Diamond in the rough

Another gem from Mr. Diamond. His personal life story and knowledge are living proof that anyone can achieve a mindset and life of self actualization, and wisdom in making empowering decisions over disempowering decisions. It’s as Mike says, “Successful people do the work no matter how they feel. Unsuccessful people only do the work when they feel good and feel right.”
