Happiness From Books – Some Self-Help Books That Teach You How to Smile Again

Happiness can be learned, although it is innate in us. We often are not aware of it and seek it in books.

Do you think, happiness can be taught? It is a skill that can help us a lot. It helps us overcome all sorts of obstacles that may present themselves in our lives.

Happiness book authors are wise people. Shall we have a look at some authors and their books?

The Ancient Greeks already knew about the human desire to be happy.The Greek philosopher Aristotle observed that no person, deliberately, chooses to be unhappy. But he also said that happiness does not equal happiness. In other words, happiness is not the same thing for everybody.

If somebody is happy, they will also be able to smile. Happiness and a smile go together. A smile expresses a happy mind and a happy spirit.

Do you know what smile stands for? (according to Master Chunyi Lin, the developer of SpringForestQiGong) “S” stands for Start, “M” stands for My, “I” stands for Inner, “L” stands for Love, “E” stands for Engine. Put ting the letters together, we read: Start My Inner Love Engine.

A true smile comes from the heart. That is why it also comes from a happy person. The Dalai Lama said that Happiness is an Art. He has written a book that is titled: The Art of Happiness. A Handbook for Living. The Dalai Lama takes a spiritual approach and offers compassion as the root of happiness. This holds certainly true. If somebody acts with compassion, they feel happiness in their hearts and are able to smile. If you are a spiritual person, you certainly with cherish this book and understand the word compassion in its fullest meaning.

Most authors who write about happiness do it as part of their findings or thoughts. Happiness is part of a perfect lifestyle.

You can read Jack Canfield’s Success Principles where he also explains that happiness is just a part of a better living, like better health, better finances, better relationships, more fun

The same idea is developed in the book Harmonic Wealth by James Arthur Ray: happiness is part of your change for more freedom in the sense of better health, better finances, better relationships and so on and so forth.

Bob Proctor also develops the same ideas. Happiness is just the expression of how one feels about his/her life and consequently, if happiness is present, a smile will follow or will always be on their face and in their eyes.

Go and grab one of these books that teach you a lot about how to act so that change will follow and bring happiness and a smile.So that you can smile again even if you had forgotten how to do it! Sometimes it is better to laugh, especially at ourselves. Once you have learned that everything in life has got its humorous side, you will start smiling and laughing again. And this is the best self-help.

Who Stole The American Dream? – A Book Review

When Burke Hedges wrote the book ” Who Stole The American Dream” he had no way of knowing at that time what was going to come in the economy and job market in America today. Just how does what he said in the early 1990′s help us almost 20 years later. The jobless rate is high, higher than it has been in years, there really does not seem to be job security maybe even less than what he stated in the book at the time of printing. How big of role should network marketing play in today’s world and how can you get involved?

What is the American Dream? Is one of the first questions asked in the book. Maybe it is a little different for everyone but a common thread seems to be financial freedom, to be able to do what you want when you want. The sad truth is that at age 65 nearly 95% of all people are dead, dead broke, still working, or dependent on family, church, or state. That means only 5% are financially independent upon retirement. What happened to the American Dream?

Network Marketing is a term that almost everyone has heard but maybe it has been linked to other terms like pyramid scheme, Ponzi scheme, multi-level pyramid could all be things stated about the network marketing industry. Did you know that the multi-level pyramid it a natural structure and every oragnization that distributes goods and services is a pyramid shape with multi-levels? According to the book American businesses, government, education, and even churches are pyramids. Pyramids like anything can be good or bad. There are both legal and illegal pyramids and what makes it a scheme is when the value stops flowing down. Carlo “Charles” Ponzi created the largest money taking scheme making a name for himself when ever a bi rip-off takes place it is now called a Ponzi Scheme. The book goes on to state the largest pyramid scheme in the world is legal and it was created by the U.S. government and is called Social Security.

Burke goes on to explain how charities and education are helping to steal the American Dream. Big charities are non-profit for you and me but huge profits for the hypocrites that run them. Just when you though that you were helping kids or cancer research you have now found out that the directors have taken hundreds of thousands for themselves and added perks like luxury vacations with your donations. Not just a pyramid scheme but illegal,unethical,and immoral.

Next he gets into education. Colleges and universities are big business and should be judged by their production. About 90% of all graduates are not working in the field that they went to school for in the first place. If not for endowments these institutions would not survive. If they were forced to operate like a real business they would go bankrupt in a year. What other options are there?

Many people choose to open their own small business to try and reach the American Dream. The fact is that 90 percent of all conventional small businesses failing the first 5 years and of the ten percent that make it past that only a few make it past ten years. It is harder and harder for small businesses to be successful in the market today. Franchising is another option but you have to have such a substantial amount of money to buy one then add the real estate and equipment. The profit in this type of enterprise is not that great for the amount of risk and headache involved. Most who own a franchise eventually like to have more that one to actually make a decent profit. These options do not sound like the picture of the American Dream either. There must be a choice left for the average American to reach their dream. There is and that is what we are going to talk about next.

Network Marketing is what the author believes to be the best option for anyone to build their American Dream. As the world changed to did our shopping habits and options. From the first general store,to the 5 &10 department stores,to shopping centers and malls, to franchises, to network marketing. It is all about the distribution and how the network marketing model is saving the companies money. The networking model saves the company by eliminating in house sales force and the huge amounts spent on advertising. One of the best things is that it is a cash business they only pay the distributor after the sale has been made which is so important and is why the parent company can pay the successful home based business owner such high commissions.

There are people from all walks of life in the network marketing field and companies the sell almost anything you can get in a store. Anyone who is willing to build a business and wants to get paid for what they do should take part in network marketing.Th 80-20 rule takes place in just about everything meaning 20 percent of the people do 80 percent of the work. Are you ready to be part of the 20 percent? Burke goes on to explain exactly how the networking is structured and how our government tries to block anyone from finding out how much people really are making as networkers. Is this to keep us from reaching the American Dream? The book goes on to talk about building a multi-level business.

Since this book has been published much has changed in the MLM field. Many companies offer web sites to help to build a business and social networking has exploded the networking industry. How has that changed things in the last 20 years? You are no longer limited to the few people that you personally know. The sky is the limit when it comes to marketing on the internet.

A Book – The Perfect Gift?

Do you know anyone who read books, and do you give away books?

A lot of people all over the world love reading, and books will always be a great gift.

I will go so far to say that there is a book for everyone, many of them just do not know it yet. I have not been reading a lot in the first 25 years of my life, just magazines and newspapers. What happened to me was actually that I got a book for Christmas that I just had to read. The reason I had to read it was that the one who gave it to me always tried to discuss the book with me.

I started reading that book, and I found out that I really loved it. That book was The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo. After I finished that book I had to read the ref his book too, and that way I became the book lover I am today. I have finished all the books written by Jo Nesbo, and read at least one book a week.

I have a friend who does not like books at all, he told me that he never read a book in his life, he is 42 years old. I know he loves to travel, and I told him about this great book he should read. He said no, but I left the book at his place just in case. Two weeks later he to me how great the book was and that when he started he just could not stop reading. I was quite satisfied with that and reminded him what he told me before he started reading.

3 weeks ago I was in the library, a place I go once a month. When I was there I found a book for my daughter too, thinking it would be a great way to improve her reading (she is 8 years). The book was about 60-70 pages and it was suitable for 8 year olds. I was very surprised that she started reading the same afternoon, and that she finished the book in 5 days. Now she asks for new books all the time, and she loves reading.

Now that we are getting close to Christmas I guess many people consider buying books, or maybe a reader for electronic ones.

A lot of people buy this stuff online, and if you are among the ones who plan to buy a book to someone for Christmas you should take action soon to be sure you get it in time.
