Live Well. Be Happy

This book is about how you can bring happiness into your life, and change your life for the better. Everyone wants to live well and be happy, and the surest way to achieve that lofty goal is to change how you think and react to the world around you. Change the way you think and you will change your life. Change the way you view the future, and you will become the architect of your destiny.

This book reveals easy steps you can take to stay sane and positive in a crazy world. You will learn how to make simple changes in your daily life that will help you chart a path to happiness. You'll read short stories of people just like you who have overcome difficult obstacles and setbacks, and gone on to live well and be happy. You'll read the author's own story of his descent into grief after his only son was killed, and his path to recovery. His story, one of 28 short lessons in the book, offers hope to those who struggle with depression, self-doubt, and other forms of negativity in their lives.

In these chapters, you will discover that finding happiness in life depends on the choices you make, on staying positive, and never giving up your hopes and dreams. You'll learn about natural ways that you can reduce stress, overcome depression, build confidence, and banish self-destructive habits. You will also learn how to stay balanced and at peace within using simple, time-honored techniques such as deep relaxation, visualization, rhythm breathing, and meditation.

Life is short, and we must make the most of the precious time we have. When you look back on your life, all that will matter is: Did you live well? Were you happy? Did you make others happy? Are you leaving the world a better place than it was when you came into it? How you answer those questions will be shaped by your thoughts and actions today and in the months to come. This inspiring little book will empower you to change your life and help you take the first steps forward. It also makes a wonderful gift for someone in need of a step-by-step approach to getting their life on a positive track.

Live well. Be happy. Everything else in your life will fall into place.
