Happiness Is a Choice

If you know in your heart that being positive & happy is indeed possible, but the world around you does not seem to agree - you are not alone! A terrific book that shares huge challenges others (just like you & me) have had & how they overcame them. The miracle & power of sticking to your beliefs when the rest of the world says you're wrong. We make choices every day. Thanks to Barry Kaufman ( & his family), here is a book to help us survive the negative influences of society & persevere in our search & commitment to living a happy life. We can have happiness!

This self affirming, positive and encouraging book is an excellent Rx for a happier life. I, too, took heart AND learned from the "Shortcuts" chapter. I have found that Barry Neil Kaufman has consistently been a source of comfort and encouragement. This is a book I certainly hope everyone will read. This is exceptionally high caliber and will only serve to make one's life richer and more empowered.

This superb book is one to read and buy for family and friends. Barry Neil Kaufman, therapist, author, motivational speaker, and co-founder of the Option Institute, has observed that despite disappointments, illnesses, and physical and emotional problems, people who are most successful in finding happiness share certain traits. He shows us how to use these traits to change our lives quickly, easily, and without pain.

I'm an expert in happiness. My web site on the subject draws 7 to 15 thousand hits a day because it's all about happiness. I tell them this:Buy Happiness is a Choice. Don't read it at first. Just turn straight to the chapter called "Shortcuts." There are six shortcuts. Practice one shortcut a week for six weeks. When you have done that the quality of every day of your life that follows will surpass the happiness you've experienced prior to following this recipe. You'll never be able to be as unhappy as you have been and you'll never be able to be unhappy as long as you have been in the past. Every day will be happier. That's why I say it's the most valuable chapter ever written. The one thing every one of us wants is more happiness. That one chapter, practiced, delivers.

This book delivers a wonderful message -- regardless of the circumstances in our lives, we can find happiness. The author shows us how we can untangle all of our negative beliefs and allow a positive attitude to guide us to a happier, more fulfilling life. It is written with a sense of humor and intelligence that is thoroughly entertaining.
