This Book Rings True,
This review is from: Becoming What You Want to See in the World: The Art of Joyful Living (Paperback)
The accessability, brevity and practicality of this book makes it valuable reading for anyone wanting to create a more balanced, happy life. I say this because I found the ideas and principles presented by Mary Claire O'Neal to ring true with my intuition and life observations, and I believe her insights to be universal to human experience. I've found the seven exercises and practices that she suggests (which she terms "tools") to be useful and helpful in getting my bearings in life.
This is not a dry reading of formulas to achieve happiness; O'Neal writes with an informal, personal voice and seasons the book with her own stories. It is also well written. I've had the pleasure of attending her workshop on communication, and can vouch for her brilliance as a teacher. Her book now extends to a wider audience the fruits of her efforts to achieve happiness and understand its underpinnings.

A Training Manual for Authentic Positive Living,

This review is from: Becoming What You Want to See in the World: The Art of Joyful Living (Paperback)
Are you haunted by a nagging feeling of "There has to be more to life than THIS!"--more than what the world insists is what ought to make you happy? Maybe you've unconsciously settled for somebody else's definition of "happy." One of this book's many strengths is that it shows you how to practice noticing what makes YOU happy. Because we all grow up being taught how to see what's wrong (with ourselves and with life in general), we can end up focusing on it so much that we forget that life is really about experiencing what's right. We may even lose track of what "happy" feels like for us.
O'Neal's book can help you train yourself to see the "good stuff" that's already in your experience. Learning to see it and to focus on it is the key to experiencing and consciously creating more of it. Plus, the book's attractively designed, well-written, easy to follow and full of practical techniques. It's an empowering work that shows you how to engage your own ongoing thoughts to create a more joyful and meaningful life. There's a lot in this slim volume, including exercises that you can use to create and reinforce "joyful habits" for years to come. Recommended both for individual and study groups.

If you only have time and energy for one self-help, self-improvement book at present...,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Becoming What You Want to See in the World: The Art of Joyful Living (Paperback)
In "Becoming What You Want To See In The World: The Art Of Joyful Living", author, speaker, and consultant Mary Claire O'Neal does something that no other self-help manual writer has done quite in the same way before - she examines the `physics' of happiness and just how we can ignite and revive our passion an joy in life. Enhanced with personal stories, practical tools, and motivating activities, O'Neal draws upon her years of professional experience and expertise as a seasoned professional to instruct her readers in how they can live more fulfilling, balanced, and meaningful lives. "Becoming What You Want To See In The World" is a thoroughly `reader friendly' compilation of clear, concise principles and action plans that are founded upon effective and compassionate communication. If you only have time and energy for one self-help, self-improvement book at present, you would be well advised to make it Mary O'Neal's "Becoming What You Want To See In The World".
