March 21, 2008

I have read no less than 5 books from beginning of the year and I am confident that I have found the book of 2008 Sorry if you think that I am going to recommend another Become a Millionaire In 7 Years, Think Rich, Get Rich or Internet Marketing Secrets type of book.. The book that I am recommending is Happy For No Reason - 7 Steps to Being Happy From The Inside Out by Marci Shimoff.

Marci is also one of the featured teachers in the popular The Secrets movie. She is also the bestselling coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Women’s Soul.

Are You Looking For Happiness?

If you are looking for happiness by reading this book, you will be disappointed.. In Marci’s context, it is hard to be happy for no reason if we are looking for happiness. Instead, we must practice it. You may have watched the movie, Pursuit of Happiness. It is said that the original meaning of the word, Pursuit, is not to chase after. It is To Practice. It is only by practicing happiness, we are then able to raise our happiness set-point to a new level.

The 7 Steps Process To Happiness

Marci has introduced a 7-steps process illustrating how to practice happiness in a comprehensive approach. The steps include:

The Foundation - Take Ownership of Your Happiness
The Pillar of the Mind - Don’t Believe Everything You Think
The Pillar of the Heart - Let Love Lead
The Pillar of the Body - Make Your Cells Happy
The Pillar of the Soul - Plug Yourself In to Spirit
The Roof - Live a Life Inspired by Purpose
The Garden - Cultivate Nourishing Relationships

I am deeply touched when Marci mentioned a story in the first step - The Foundation introducing the concept, Focus on the Solution. All other sections were introduced with a story that will make you remember the point that Marci is trying to bring across.

An Invaluable Lesson That Everyone Should Learn - Gratitude

I am stunned when Marci shows proof how Gratitude in a person can make a difference to our surroundings. This research is based on Dr Emoto’s experiment. A group of people was gathered in a circle around a container of water and send different feelings towards it. The ‘Love and Thanks’ group concludes with a beautiful crystalline structure in the water (as shown on the left).

There is so much to say about this book and I shall leave it to you to find out yourself Seriously, if you were to read only one book this year. Grab this book without second thought. The following is a video from Marci on her book:
