Reading Pollyanna | Alexandria
Read Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter. Transforming tragedy into radical optimism, Pollyanna revolutionized self-help philosophy decades before its time. Far from mere naive positivity, the story presents a sophisticated psychological framework for reframing adversity - one backed by modern cognitive science. The orphan's "glad game" predates CBT techniques by 50+ years, proving that resilience can be systematically cultivated.
