his is a gorgeous full-coloured book with cute illustrations that is easy-to-read. The messages and contents of the book may be simple, but it is the one that touches my heart the most because often people lose sight of their choice and ability to be joyful in the face of difficulties. This book brings awareness back to us that you simply have to consciously choose and develop the mental habits that will bring smiles, joy and peace into your life. The publisher has thoughtfully added a yellow ribbon bookmark so that you can easily locate the page you stopped.

his hard-cover book printed from FSC paper gathered from responsibly managed forests features elegant cobalt blue and olive text printing for its 16 chapters. Just as the Buddha taught thousands of years ago that awareness of one’s responsibility to self and the planet we live in precedes true enlightenment, this book reminds us that each of us is one with the world and that our thoughts, words and deeds affect the collective frequency and well-being of everything and everyone around us. It prompts us to acknowledge the consequences of our actions and to consciously adjust our lifestyle habits to those that support a sustainable environment.

ften, integrity is underrated in our momentto-moment choices for well-being. Instead, we are usually preoccupied with considering how to obtain more of what we want or avoid what we don’t want. But when we don’t speak or act from our own sense of integrity, we feel lousy. The components of integrity—generosity, virtue, renunciation, wisdom, courage, patience, truthfulness, resoluteness, loving-kindness and equanimity—bring us more empowerment, clarity, commitment and joy, even in the darkest of times. Freedom is the ability to choose wisely, and thereby bring a cheerful mind and heart to a suffering world. A lovely, practical, intimate and wise book.
