We all want to be happy. But, sometimes life gets in the way. People lose jobs. Spouses are unfaithful. Kids are hostile. Friends die. Houses burn down. It is a jungle out there. This is a book that helps readers get through the jungle without being devoured by a wild beast or dying from a swamp virus. Ragini Michaels has developed a programme for staying happy, centred and peaceful regardless of the circumstances one confronts. Drawing on the wisdom of the mystics and the principles of neuro linguistic programming (NLP), Michaels has developed a six-step process for happiness and serenity regardless of how crazy life gets. The Six Steps:1. Discover the lay of the land: Look at the inner contours of your life. Decide where you are and where you want to go. 2. Examine the river running through your inner landscape: Examine and accept the flow of life-in all of it's inconsistencies and incongruities. 3. Ride the river's rapids: go with the flow. 4. Learn to identify personal challenges on your journey5. Learn how to reduce heightened emotional distress6. Enjoy the ride. Michaels teaches readers to embrace opposites-seeing them as two parts of a whole and embrace the impermanence of life. Michaels' six-step process offers unique route to a different brand of happiness-one that doesn't depend on outside circumstances or whether your body is feeling pleasant or unpleasant emotions. Rather than deny difficult circumstances, she teaches acceptance and a form of conscious living that leads to serenity. This is a book for anyone who wants to take control of their life, discover serenity and not be overwhelmed by the vagaries of life. This is for anyone who needs help in getting through the week-In other words, it is for everyone.
