I have read dozens of self-help books over the years, but perhaps nothing comes close to Shawn Burr’s unique and thorough approach on the subject through her book, ‘Become Contagious: Unleash the Power of Positive Energy’. It is, indeed, a life-changing take on a much-discussed subject: attracting all the good things to your life using your own mind.‘Become Contagious’ is about finding happiness, success, contentment, and positive energy—and how you can find these using simple, yet powerful methods. This book had me at “become an addict.” Addicted to positive energy, that is, which will only set off a cascade of wonderful, life-affirming reactions—from getting the money you need, to finding the love of your life, to just getting the right inspiration every single day. Like that character in the film ’13 Conversations about one Thing’: you will wake up enthused.Shawn writes in a way that exudes empathy so much that you don’t even notice you’re actually reading a book and not speaking with a long-time friend. Shawn’s writing definitely ups the ante for self-help books everywhere—here is quality writing you can palpably feel, which makes the book much more powerful because of it.I love ‘Become Contagious’ to shreds—it is one of the books that I now keep in my ebook reader as a daily reference when I feel I’m losing my way or when I’m a bit down. It perks me up instantly and, I know, will change my life for the better in the long term. A solid five-star rating for this wonderful book!
