Allen Klein, aka “Mr. Jollytologist”®, is no stranger to quotation books. His previous uplifting and motivational books in this genre have sold over 400,000 copies. Add to that another 200,000+ units sold domestically in non-quotation categories and the nine language translations. In addition, the author is the recipient of a number of national awards including both the Best New Book of the Year Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor, a Communication and Leadership Award from Toastmasters, as well as being a Hunter College, The City University of New York, Hall of Fame honoree. Through his books, workshops and keynote presentations, the author has devoted over 30 year of his life to encouraging people to lighten up, to embrace a positive attitude, and to take back their power. This book will further that goal and validate what comedian Jerry Lewis said about the author: Allen Klein is “a noble and vital force watching over the human condition.” As an experienced speaker, Dr. Heidi Hanna has been featured at many national and global conferences, including the Fortune Magazine Most Powerful Women in Business Summit, ESPN Women’s Leadership Summit, and the Million Dollar Round Table.

""As someone who has reviewed a variety of affirmation style books, this book can act in the same way as an affirmation book. While these may be quotes you can still focus on saying them out loud or finding a way to connect with the words in your own way. Perhaps you journal or you do some sort of daily writing. In this case you could focus on taking one of these quotes and using it to focus your day or work through a problem you might be coping with. Klein also includes his own personal stories, which can help readers to interact more deeply with the quotes he provides. Positive Thoughts for Troubling Times is a read that will help you to feel more balanced and can act as a bit of a lifeline no matter what is happening around you."" -The Nerdy Girl Express
