Encouragement Makes Good Things Happen is a translation of the German book Mut Tut Gut. It describes a courageous and empowering style of living and focuses on the belief that encouragement is
the most important natural ingredient for the healthy development of human beings.
Written in a warm and conversational tone, the book first discusses the negative consequences of discouragement on both the individual and society as a whole. It then explores what
encouragement is, why it is important in people's lives, and how a person can encourage both himself and others.
