THE SECRET TO TRUE HAPPINESS Enjoy Today, Embrace Tomorrow

From a popular Christian author, a practical guide for anyone who wants to move from a pattern of self-critical thinking and overwork to one of happiness, peace, and being in the moment. Having struggled with these issues herself, Joyce Meyer is a credible promoter of the reasonable life. She frames such a life not as dropping out, but as committing to goals that respect who we are and pacing work so that it doesn't interfere with happiness. Believers and nonbelievers alike will appreciate her “nine habits of highly effective Christians.” Listeners familiar with the author's strident speaking voice will enjoy hearing her smooth writing delivered by her youngest daughter, whose voice has her mother's timbre but is more appealing in its innocence and emotional steadiness.
