Cheerfulness as a Life Power

Cheerfulness as a Life Power by Orison Swett Marden is a motivational classic that states: “In the United States," a distinguished traveler once said, "there is everywhere comfort, but no joy. The ambition of getting more and fretting over what is lost absorb life.” "The Americans are the best-fed, the best-clad, and the best-housed people in the world," says another witness, "but they are the most anxious; they hug possible calamity to their breasts.”
