Summary

Comedian and broadcaster Susan Calman danced her way across our screens and into our hearts for 10 weeks on Strictly Come Dancing 2017, but how did this ability to find joy change her life?

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. That it's okay to love people, that kindness is something wonderful and brilliant and 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.

Fantastic book

Such a joy to listen to. Did not know much about the author and it was quite an impulse purchase so the book was a lovely surprise. Cheery anecdotes that are perfect for cheering up a cold winter day, Could not wait to read each chapter,

What a joy!

I love Susan Calman; I think she is simply lovely, well not simply! She’s complicated and wonderful, like most humans should be. This book brought me laughs and smiles, and I will try to be kinder - thank you

An absolute joy!

I loved this book. So much so that I listened to it non stop from beginning to end. Susan Calman was wonderful as ever. Her "Calmanifesto" is fabulous and as always, she delivers uplifting ideas and experiences with great wit and energy. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Just honest and lovely. A hug in an audiobook

Really enjoyed listening to this on my frequent train journeys. Susan Calman narrates her book so well, it doesn’t sound preachy or patronising, it just describes how we can all be a bit more sunny in our outlook and our interactions with others.
I especially enjoyed the travels with her plant sections, and her audience tweets - faith in humanity restored time and time again.
Lovely stuff!

Positive and Funny reminder

2nd book I've listened to by Susan. Thoroughly enjoyed both and smiled my way through it. Am sure Susan's dulcet tones add to the delivery of basically a personal show for the listener.
