Unveiling the Might of Positive Criticism: Meghan Markle’s 'The Bench' Ascends to Bestseller Status

It is understandable if one feels compelled to lash out when faced with success, especially when that success comes with a crown. Yet, the reality is, not everyone can be a winner. For Meghan Markle, a dedicated and resilient individual, the ascent of her book, The Bench, to the top of the New York Times Bestsellers list is nothing short of a triumph. This journey through controversy and vindication offers valuable lessons on the power of positive reception and the impact of one's work.

Unrelenting Hatred and Pervasive Criticism

Believe it or not, the world often works in mysterious ways. Even as professional critics and haters attempted to extinguish the light of The Bench before it had a chance to shine, they only managed to highlight its eventual triumph. When the book was released, hordes of detractors jumped onto Amazon, hoping to lower the book’s rank through negative reviews. To their chagrin, these efforts failed to deter the many genuine book lovers who purchased the book, propelling The Bench to the Number One spot in the New York Times Children’s Picture Books category.

Challenging the Credibility of Professional Critics

Their actions questioned the validity of professional critics and their motivations. It is disheartening that these so-called experts are so pained by a successful endeavor by someone they don’t approve of. They question whether the New York Times should be trusted or how those who reached number one did so. These critics even go as far as to criticize the literacy skills of those who contributed to the book's success.

Resilience and Untainted Ethos

Despite this wave of negativity, Meghan Markle stands tall. She has always maintained a positive and ethical stance, refusing to be swayed by petty criticism. Instead of falling into the trap of hate, she has embraced the success and the recognition that comes with it. The success of The Bench is a testament to the power of positive reception and the impact of authentic content.

Authorship and Success: A Matter of Buying Power

Success in the publishing world is not just about being a stellar author but also about having a book that resonates with readers. The evidence lies in the Plant-Based Athlete by a fellow author on Facebook, dubbed "no meat athlete." His book has entered the bestseller list not because of a bad book, but because of the love and support from readers who find value in the content. This author shares insights on his journey to success, emphasizing the importance of reader engagement and satisfaction.

There is a stark contrast between the negative campaign against The Bench and the positive reception of The Plant-Based Athlete. The latter’s success is a reflection of how books gain popularity through genuine readership and positive feedback rather than smear campaigns. These stories serve as powerful reminders that success is often determined by the quality of the content and the engagement from the audience.

Conclusion: The Triumph of Positive Critique

Even in the face of criticism, the success of The Bench stands as a beacon of hope. It is a reminder that positive reception and genuine engagement are more impactful than negative propaganda. Meghan Markle’s journey from being a source of controversy to achieving bestseller status is a testament to the strength of positive critique and the true essence of authorship.
