5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read... Worth every word!!! October 17, 2010

By Candice W.

Format:Paperback

Definitely a great read!! When I first got the book I said: "This will be a quick read" and didn't expect to get a lot out of the book because of how short the book is, however every word had meaning. It's not like other books where you have "fillers" to make the book seem longer.

I absolutely love the "Happiness Secrets" throughout the book. Here's one of my favorite secrets: To find your calling and what makes you intrinsically happy, find where the needs of your world, your talents, and that which matters to you intersect.

I've read several books on happiness and finding peace and I must say this is one of my favorites. This book was an easy read and a great follow up to "The Steps of Essence: How to Live Well and Authentically". "Be True, Be Happy" mentions some of the exercises from this book, so I went to the website and found about 50 exercises online [...]

4.0 out of 5 stars Judge This Book By Its Cover October 3, 2010

By Domiknow Affect

Format:Paperback

Don't be fooled by the brevity (102 pages) or the cover (lotus flower) of this book: this is a hand grenade! This book will most definately change your life, or at the very least, change the way you look at YOUR LIFE.

The first sentence of the book, "This book is on finding happiness," is straight to the point and it sets out to do exactly that. The lotus flower cover is more than packaging, the whole point being the way we perceive things and the deeper we look at them can change our whole outlook on life. The simple and practical structure of the book enables each individual to find their uniqueness and true self with the aid of specific techniques to enable this end.

I especially liked the highlighted, "Happiness Secrets," which in and of themselves can be used as daily affirmations. This book certainly made me think outside and inside myself. Although the book is short (can be read in a few hours), each page is packed with material for hours of meditation.

Hanns-Oskar Porr has a gift for deciphering root meanings of words and a unique talent of reapplying their original meaning and context eg. be-have: the states of being or having!

This book makes some big promises and doesn't fall short- "bringing happiness into your life at will!" This book uses very unique exercises from diverse sources including spirituality and method acting! In order for you to Author (authentic) your own life based on a true story!

Important also is the balance of giving and taking as Hanns identifies as crucial to authentic happiness, the art of personal fulfillment and making the world a better place: a true Oneness. The specific directions for identifying natural talents and strengths as well as inhibiting barriers are truly unique and eye-opening. There is also a great section on acceptance and different techniques to apply this powerful life principle.

To sum up this powerful little book deals not only in creating,"Your Story," but finding it in the present moment regardless of the weather!

No excuses, No way out, BE TRUE BE HAPPY!!!
