Today’s the day! Yippee ki yay, MYHO-ers!
It’s the official launch of my book Meeting Your Half-Orange: An Utterly Upbeat Guide to Using Dating Optimism to Find Your Perfect Match!
The book is on shelves TODAY!
And I wanted to make sure you knew the true extent of how much the book can help your love and dating life—and that of your single friends, coworkers and cousins. Because it’s not merely a re-printing of the positive thoughts I find in life, in books, in music, and in reality television like High School Reunion. (Oh, the quality I pass on…)
The book is an actual step-by-step guide to using your optimism to draw the right person straight to you. If you really want to rocket yourself to the relationship of your dreams, the book will do it. Here’s why:
1. You’ll learn the science behind the optimism. Thinking positively feels great, but every once in a while, you can get to the place I once reached: “What the hell’s the point? I’ve been cheery about this whole dating thing and it’s gotten me nothing. I give up!” Well, thanks to the recent scientific discovery of neuroplasticity, we now know that our thoughts have a mind-changing effect on the neural activity and structure of our emotional brains. And once you understand how this works, you won’t think “What’s the point?” again. Instead, you’ll be driven to change your thoughts to change your dating life forever.
2. You’ll learn to fight your “I’m still single!” panic. You know that fear you have that you’re the only one who’s going to end up alone? You can kick that fear’s butt out the door for good and take charge of your hope and determination for love again. The book will tell you why and how.
3. You’ll get specific instructions on how to “choose your orange seed.” You want an awesomely wonderful relationship. But are you asking for it in the right way? In the book, I’ll tell you how you might be asking for your right relationship in the wrong way, and exactly how to ask for what you truly want and feel empowered to get it.
4. You’ll learn how to create the “orange buzz.” Feeling positive is one thing. But working up an emotionally charged orange buzz to “feed your seed”—that’s what’s going to turn you into a knock-‘em-dead relationship magnet. The orange buzz is the magic behind attracting your other half. When you learn how to create your orange buzz, you’ll literally become the relaxed, happy, glowing, confident person now that you want to feel in your dream relationship later. In fact, you’ll be so buzzing, your friends will ask, “What’s different about you?” Well, what’s different is that you’ll feel more amazing about yourself and your future relationship than you ever have before—and that’s exactly what’s going to naturally draw the right person straight to you.
Ready for your big relationship? Then pick up a copy from your local bookstore, or order the book from Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com or Borders.com or Powells.com today.
You can even read some excerpts from Meeting Your Half-Orange on the book’s website to get you even more pumped.
Big love and here’s to your half-orange!

Hi Amy!
I was wondering what you thought about that eternal philosophic pessimist Schopenhauer and how his theories might fit in with your half-orange approach. Like you, I am a writer, and sometimes I feel as though we are tempted to package ethereal qualities like optimism in a confining corporate package. I find that I struggle with being optimistic, because I sense it may need to be rooted in a deep confrontation with spiritual doubt, with the temptation of nihilism or aberrant hedonism, with our chilhood heartbreak and trauma, and a consequent triumph over these – to be a really fulfilled, deep optimism. What do you think? Anyway, I love your perky insouciance, and you are really neat looking and cute. Share your thoughts, if you dare…
Yours,
The Midnight Writer
Wow, those are a lotta big words for a midnight posting! Here’s what I’d (dare to!) say: Optimism is a struggle sometimes, not just because it takes energy and determination and seems futile sometimes, but also because so many people see it as too flippant a concept: “Oh, everything’s just going to work okay, is it?” It really brings the cynics flocking. I think you’re right — it takes a life lived, fears faced, doubts questioned and hecklers damned to really be able to find the strength in yourself to embrace optimism about something. I don’t think we all need to optimistic about everything and it’s probably not healthy to be (i.e. we’re allowed to, say, be hopeful about our career and pessimistic about the passing of the healthcare package). But I think if we ARE going to be optimistic about anything in life, love’s the thing to choose. In fact, in a quick search on Schopenhauer (about whom I knew nothing), I found this quote: “The ultimate aim of all love affairs … is more important than all other aims in man’s life; and therefore it is quite worthy of the profound seriousness with which everyone pursues it.” How interesting that for a man who seemed, from what I briefly read, to feel that desire is futile because we’ll never get what we want anyway, to feel that love *is* worth it? Gotta love him for that. Guess it’s what’s behind my perkiness on the subject, too: I just think that love is worth it and optimism will help get you there. Hmm, now I wonder: Did I at all just address what you were commenting on?
Thanks for writing!
