I picked this book up in the library and was surprised to find a wonderful resource. Every few pages, I stopped to write down a quote - there would be a tidbit of wisdom shining a light on another emotional snag from my past. Robert Holden nails it! It's like having a 6-month psychotherapy session with a gifted and insightful therapist. If you read self-help books, this is a must-read! Although the themes are familiar, the perspective is fresh and life-changing.

You say you are feeling down and glum and need a shot of inspiration...just enough to get you over the hump? This is a little gem of a book. It has snippets of inspiration to make you stop and think. It gives you a little jolt of happiness..and if needed, you can always dip in for more.

What a great book. The author infuses a wonderful sense of humor to lighten up topics presented. Very uplifting and insightful. I felt completely prepared to make necessary changes after reading this book.
I give it a "thumbs up"!

This book is filled with insight. It's phenomenal. The basic theme of the book is that happiness is something that is already within us -- there is no reason to reach for it, just allow it express itself!

Every chapter is short, concise, and potentially life-changing. I found myself having some truly life-changing realizations reading this book. Every page is filled with content.

I have a feeling that people who suffer from anxiety will greatly appreciate this book - it has a very "liberating" tone to it. It isn't the "go go go!" type self-help.

Stumbled upon this little book in the library -- it caught my eye but I almost passed it by (I hate self-help improvement books!) -- SO glad I checked it out!! After reading it cover-to-cover in a couple of days I bought a copy on Amazon so I could re-read it and make notes in the margins -- this one is a bedside keeper, an absolute gem! As the author explains inside, it's not about self improvement; it's about self acceptance. I can't remember being so touched by a book -- I can't recommend it highly enough. I LOVE this book!!!

There is much repetition in this book, but alas we need this sometimes to remind us. Great book, wish he would write more!

I already owned this book,but it makes me feel so good,that I purchased 2 more copies so I can share it with others.
Well worth the read and reread.....

This book may be "little" in size but it is a GREAT book to help transform our lives! The chapters are short and filled with WISDOM! I recommend this to everyone that is willing to "put on new glasses" and adjust their focus on living a positive, faith-filled, happy life! Thank you and God bless you!

This is the best book I've read on transforming your life. I liked it so much that I bought other Robert Holden books. Everything makes so much sense and it really is easy to have a happy life if we just let ourselves. But most of us have been brought up to be cynical and it takes a while to shake that off. So, this book puts it all in easy and simple ways for us to use and be on our way to a happy life. Also it reminds you that all we really have is TODAY. We cannot control other people we can only control ourselves and how we react to what is going on. It starts with us. Lets let our happy vibrations expand outward little by little. Sooner or later (hopefully sooner) those around us can feel the positive vibrations and it will expand from them and so on and so on. He reminds you that you don't have to struggle and sacrifice for ANYTHING. Which I have believed for a while since I read ' A COURSE IN MIRACLES' another great book if not the best. Robert Holden uses references from this book which is one of the things that attracted me to his books. But we are brought up to believe that "you cannot get anything for free, no pain no gain, you always hurt the ones you love, that God is to be feared," and all this terrible nonsense that never made sense to me even when I was younger. So this is a great wake up book. If you want trade offs, like Robert Holden says in his book,"trade fear for love, trade hate for peace,trade sadness for happiness,trade resentment for forgiveness." It is so easy, but most of us cannot believe it is easy so we look for the hard way because surely it will pay off, being to scared or sad to realize the answer or what we seek is right in front of us. Like 'A COURSE IN MIRACLES' says "we all have to learn, do we want to learn through pain or joy?" It's a great book. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
