Behind his self-described “gloomy” visage, Garrison Keillor is a cheerful man. And he’s sharing his thoughts on the benefits of a buoyant demeanor in his new book, Cheerfulness.
“Cheerfulness is a choice,” he tells us. “Adopting cheerfulness as a strategy does not mean closing your eyes to evil; it means resisting our drift toward compulsive dread and despond.”
The theme weaves its way through Keillor’s thoughts on friends, family, work, marriage (“Marriage is the true test of cheerfulness — to make a good life with your best informed critic.”). Cheerfulness shows up in small acts of kindness and heroic acts in the face of adversity. “It’s not the be-all and over-all, the ultimate or consummate and uttermost. It’s a useful tactic to get your head on straight and go where you need to go and not wind up in the swamp.”
Funny, poignant, thought-provoking, whimsical — Cheerfulness is sure to charm longtime Keillor fans and those just getting to know the writing of this much-admired author.
NOTE: Cheerfulness will be available at the discounted price of $15 until 11:59pm on Tuesday, November 14, 2023
