This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to stop chasing happiness and still live happily ever after Do you have everything you need, but still feel like something’s missing? Do you frequently compare your life to others’, wondering why they seem to have it all? Do you feel like you’re just going after one high after the next, with no idea where the end goal is? You may have a life many people dream of, but sometimes, you can’t help but feel some form of discontent. It’s not that you’re ungrateful or unappreciative of what you have. It might just be that what you have is actually not what you need to feel fulfilled. And you’re not the only one going through this. Despite having one of the highest standards of living in the world, the level of happiness among Americans is at its lowest. In fact, it has been declining for the past 20 years. Social media, reliance on drugs, and the endless pursuit of wealth are just some of the reasons for this phenomenon. We are constantly bombarded with messages and images of how life should look like, and we try to reach this aspirational goal through any means necessary. We can chase it through traveling, buying expensive things, achieving career success, or even getting married and starting a family. But why do you still feel unsatisfied, even after you have all this? What is it that makes us truly happy? Plenty of scientific research has been done to find the answer to this question. There is also a lot of advice from self-help books and motivational speakers on being happy. Thankfully, you don’t have to go through all the studies and TED talks online to find the key to happiness. In Happiness Power: How to Unleash Your Power and Live a Joyful Life, you will discover: Why your present circumstances don’t have to determine your level of happiness, and how you can take your well-being into your own hands The #1 factor that helps us live longer, healthier, and happier lives, according to a decades-long Harvard study on adult life How to have a more positive mindset through this daily habit that Oprah Winfrey believes has rewarded her a million times over How you can combat loneliness with these friendly suggestions on how to build and strengthen your social circle The secret to happiness that the Japanese have known and practiced for centuries, contributing to their high levels of satisfaction and long life spans Effortless mindfulness tricks to apply throughout the day that will help you get through stressful days and pessimistic emotions The simple generous act that has the same positive effects as food and sex, offering satisfaction not only to you, but also to your recipient And much more. Although happiness is not the be-all and end-all of life, it sure doesn’t hurt to go through life being happy rather than dissatisfied and lonely. Our lives weren’t meant to be lived in constant pursuit of an abstract vision of happiness. Chasing after happiness will only make it so much harder to obtain. It is when you are focused on genuinely living a life of truth, purpose, and meaning, that happiness will come to you. Find out what it takes to live a life that’s true to your values and your innermost needs. If you’re in search of a truly joyful and meaningful life rather than just conform to other people’s idea of happiness, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age thirty-five, Cami Walker was burdened by a battle with multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological condition that made it difficult for her to walk, work, or enjoy her life. Seeking a remedy for her depression after being hospitalized, she received an uncommon prescription from an African medicine woman: give to others for 29 days. 29 Gifts is the insightful story of the author's life change as she embraces and reflects on the naturally reciprocal process of giving and receiving. Many of Walker's gifts were simple?a phone call, spare change, a Kleenex. Yet the acts were transformative. By day 29, not only had Walker's health and happiness improved, but she had created a worldwide giving movement. The book also includes personal essays from others whose lives changed for the better by giving, plus pages for the reader to record their own journey. More than a memoir, 29 Gifts offers inspiring lessons on how a simple daily practice of altruism can dramatically alter your outlook on the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quick facts are these: Alzheimer’s Disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and is the only cause of death in the top ten in America that cannot be prevented, slowed, or cured. In 2015, dementias cost our nation an estimated $226 billion. By 2050, these costs could rise to as high as $1.1 trillion. Dementias not only affect individuals and their families, they plague us in other kinds of ways, as well. What happens when the owner of the most important company in town begins to be affected? Or a surgeon at the hospital? Or the pastor of your church? No place that involves people is immune. If dementia has not come to your pulpit, it will. It most assuredly has arrived already in your congregation. The aim of this book is to demystify dementia in order to encourage families and congregations to respond to it in meaningful, helpful, and faithful ways. This is a conversation we all need to enter. Like it or not, dealing with dementia is now part of the stewardship of our lives together.
