BOOK REVIEW SERIES
Nine Habits of Happiness
Presently, I am reading and almost
finished an interesting book Climb Your Stairway to Heaven: The
9 habits of maximum happiness
. I have to say it was the
title that took my attention initially and I have not been disappointed.

This self-help book on happiness
provides a blue print to better self-esteem, welcome stress relief, encourages
more generosity and gratitude, more meaningful friendships and finding the
personal joy and success. What I liked about this book particularly is
that the author encourages the reader to develop his/her own personal plan for
happiness using a step by step guide.
Happiness is choice you have to make.
It is state being only you can create. Finding happiness like finding
yourself since happiness is not found but made and chosen. It is a
process of what psychologists refer to as 'self-actualization, which is
discovering who we are, who we want to to be and paving the way to happiness by
doing what bring us the most meaning and contentment to our lives over the long
run.
Even though this book is a self-help
book, it can easily be thought of in Christian terms as well. Why
not have a read. It seems to me to be a journey book- not be read in
one session, but rather an ongoing reflective read. It may well be the
book that could journey with you through 2011 and beyond.
As I said, what I liked about it was
the reference to the stairway to Heaven. After all, is not our final goal
Heaven and is that not what God wants for us- to live with Him and be happy
with Him for ever in Heaven.
