Book Synopsis

New in paperback (originally published as The Comfort Zone).

What would it take for you to really love your life? To feel genuinely happy, positive, and fulfilled? The answer may be simpler than you think.

"This book will change the way you think about growth and comfort forever!"
-- Lewis Howes, New York Times best-selling author of The School of Greatness

In this paradigm-shifting book, Kristen Butler, creator of Power of Positivity--an online community with 50+ million people globally--reveals a surprising secret: in a world full of self-sabotaging beliefs, the gateway to a life you truly love is found in the last place you'd think. It's situated safely in your Comfort Zone.

No matter what you've been told, your comfort zone is NOT your danger zone. It's not the place where dreams spiral down and die. It's the opposite. Kristen knows this firsthand. From a state of deep and chronic discomfort--at one point experiencing panic attacks so severe she couldn't get out of bed--she transformed a life of merely surviving into a life of truly thriving.

In these pages, she shares how you, too, can find the key to:

- self-love and self-esteem
- feeling genuinely happy
- overcoming fear and inaction
- a mindset of gratitude, abundance, and success
- healthier boundaries in relationships
- stop cycles of burnout and start cycles of balance

Your comfort zone is not a static place where nothing grows. In fact, your growth depends on how fully you thrive in it. And The Key to Positivity unlocks the door to this inner sanctuary. Kristen gives you practical and research-based tools to help inspiration meet ease, creativity flow effortlessly, growth happen naturally, and positive emotions run freely. She leads you back to what's comfortable and natural for you to create a life you love with less stress and more flow. It's time to claim your best life now!
