Most people consider happiness the most important pursuit in life, yet few seem to find it. Women, in particular, face a constant internal battle between finding their own happiness and ensuring the happiness of others. Debbie Gissoni, aka The Goddess of Happiness, shows that happiness is a choice that anyone can make, anytime and anywhere. In 44 dynamic entries the author shares her stories, insights, humor, and simple suggestions to bring out the radiant Goddess in every woman. Each entry includes meditations and journaling ideas to help readers transform the pursuit of happiness into a tangible, everyday practice. Gissoni teaches that all women are goddesses — they just need to tap their innate power and reacquaint themselves with their own magic; and that life is meant to be enjoyable — not to be taken so seriously or made too complicated. Each of these chapters ends with five simple ways to have an easier and happier life.
Debbie Gisonni, aka The Goddess of Happiness', is a best selling author, speaker, happiness expert and columnist for iVillage.com.
Debbie knows first-hand how to find true happiness, especially during life's darkest moments. At the height of her executive career, her personal life was derailed by the unexpected loss of four family members in four years. Debbie drew upon her inner strength to embrace her ordeal and, in the process, realized she wasn't the Queen Bee she once thought, in control of every aspect of her life, but rather an ordinary Goddess with the power to be happy no matter what path life took her on. She later boldly left her 15-year career and started her own company (Real Life Lessons') and the goddessofhappiness.com web site to help other women connect their inner power with the real life issues they face every day, from the trivial to the tragic, with the underlying belief that every woman is a goddess.
Debbie is the author of the national best seller, The Goddess of Happiness: A Down-to-Earth Guide for Heavenly Balance and Bliss and Vita's Will: Real Life Lessons about Life Death & Moving On. She is a contributing author to If Women Ruled the World, How to Create the World We Want to Live In, and her articles have appeared in publications such as The San Francisco Chronicle, Simplycity, Living in Balance, and Nonprofit World.
Debbie has been a guest on numerous radio and TV shows across the country, and has been featured in books and periodicals such as Sell Yourself Without Selling Your Soul, The San Jose Mercury News, The Dallas Morning News and Better Homes & Gardens. She is an experienced speaker who has addressed audiences of all kinds from corporate to women's groups to teen girls.
