Publisher Description
The Calmanifesto of Happiness
'One of the kindest people I have ever met - a beautiful dancer and a beautiful person' Kevin Clifton
'Be good, be kind, be more like Susan Calman' Kirstie Allsopp
'Be kind to yourself - read this book, keep it on your bedside table or on your Kindle - even Kindle has the word kind in it' Sandi Toksvig
'Full of wisdom and humour, with the soft underbelly of the profound' Fi Glover
'It's a warm, funny and delightful book that is sure to cheer even the grumpiest curmudgeon in your life' Woman and Home
Susan Calman's enthusiasm at being on Strictly Come Dancing was an inspiration to all of us. Cheer Up Love, Susan's first book, had a clear aim: to help people understand depression. Sunny Side Up has a similarly clear path: to persuade people to be kinder to each other and spread more joy.
These are extremely difficult and confusing times - people are cross and shouty. It's exhausting! But more than anything, people like Susan, people who don't hate other people, are apologising for the way that they think. Susan wants to make sure that they don't. She wants them to know that it's ok to love people and that kindness is something wonderful and brilliant. Above all, she wants them to bring on the joy.
So the mission is simple. To get the nation to join her in not being negative. To bring back joy, kindness and community, to find that joy in the little things in life and defeat the hate and fear.
Susan is a one-woman army of hope and joy, and she's ready to lead the nation in a different direction.
Customer Reviews
Thought provoking and did bring me joy
The book is dotted with snigger out loud moments.
The thought provoking bits should be put together and made compulsory reading. As a country we are generally less tolerant, more selfish and more argumentative than even a few years ago. I’m backing Susan’s campaign to change this downward spiral.
Anyone who thinks Victoria Wood was (and still is) wonderful has my support.
I’m off out now to see who needs assistance.
Funny, inspiring and thoughtful
This book is a great way to change the way you think about the power of kindness and joy to positively effect you, and the lives of those around you. It is honest, achingly funny and thought provoking about the significant impact small gestures can have. It has really lifted me, joy is a little scant in my life at the moment as I’ve just lost my Mum, and Susan’s tales of everything from Strictly to her cats have brought me joy. And encouraged me to show kindness wherever I can. And to laugh. Lots. I bought the book, and the audiobook too, that’s how much I enjoyed it #susanrocksmyworld
Sunny Side Up
I loved this book! Even better than Cheer Up Love. Insightful, joyous and laugh out loud. I agree with all of it! (Apart from Marzipan, I love Marzipan)
