Close your eyes and try to imagine what a good life is. Is it lying on the beach, playing with your dog or going on holiday etc? These are things that most people wish to do on a regular basis but yet can't seem to achieve. The typical reasons are lack of time and money. For those who are earning an income, why even with each passing year or increment, you still feel like it's a never ending catch up?
The author's intent is simple; strengthen the mind with positive and practical thoughts. Avoid the bad and the good will arrive. Accept that luck plays a part in life and go through tough times with a stoic attitude. Adjust to the environment by making small changes of improvement. Gradually, the mental wall becomes stronger and mature. Experience counts. The book consists of 3-4 pages per chapter. Each brings a story or example on how to view situations so as to spot fallacies and change the perspective. Therefore, success is not what the society defines but by what you perceive. Every individual has his struggles so it's down to a person to chart his own life path. If you can resist comparisons and be content, that in itself is a successful outcome. It's fascinating that through thousands of years of evolution, technology has advanced so much yet the brain remains stuck in its primitive instincts. Having a bad day? Close your eyes and recall a happy moment. You would instantly feel better. See, a little distraction and the brain can be manipulated to uplift the mood.
This book was given by my wife as a birthday gift. I gladly recommend it to anyone.
