Beschreibung
New condition medium blue boards with dark blue spine lettering, contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Introduction: Happiness as the First Principle of Life; In Closing: 54 Precious Keys to Happiness; and Love & Live Happy. 3rd Printing. "Use these "precious keys to finding happiness" to unlock hidden stores of joy. Are you patient with yourself and with others? Are you making keen use of your five senses? Are you letting your imagination blossom? Are you celebrating life fully with laughter and fun? Are you regularly communing with and learning from nature? Do you let color fill your world with joy? Do you allow music to transport you? and much more." - from the rear outer jacket "Bursting with creative ideas and brimming with illuminating anecdotes, this concise, joyful, and practical book shows how to find - and forge - happiness in the large and small events of everyday life. Based on her more than thirty years as a noted thinker and speaker on personal contentment, Alexandra Stoddard shares what she has learned about the small but significant changes you can make in your mind, heart, and surroundings to be happier day by day. A gentle and fun first step is to quickly write down ten words that define who your are - perhaps beaches, family, food, home - and what else? To further expand your awareness, select one word and write down twenty-five words that come to mind. These and dozens of other inventive ideas will help you develop the self-knowledge to pursue happiness wisely and well. In challenging times, it is easy to question whether happiness is a choice. Alexandra Stoddard affirms not only that it is possible to choose happiness but that happiness is the best choice we can make. It is the "first principle" of life that unites humankind because it is what we all desire. Happiness lies in the passions we pursue and in the pressures we decline. It is in knowing how to work and when to play. It is in the treasured objects we keep nearby and in the ordinary moments we elevate into small celebrations. It is in the note we write to a friend and the kindness we show a stranger. It is in the colors we love and the music that transports us. It may be as simple as sunlight on your face; as sudden as a shared smile; as sensuous as a single flower on your desk, candles on your nightstand, or cookies hot from the oven. Happiness is what you make it, where you make it. Happiness is our best choice." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002299
