Some things in life we cannot change-but our own happiness is not one of them. Living a life that is wholly fruitful and enjoyable is within our power. All it takes is making the choice.
Over his years as a corporate executive and professional speaker, author Ken Shankweiler has been able to discuss his theories on happiness with countless individuals-and he has successfully applied them to his own life as well. In Happiness Is a Choice, Dr. Ken combines psychological advice with some of his personal stories to lead others toward enhancing their happiness. With guidance on what to do and what to avoid, chapters range from improving self-esteem to avoiding information overload from the world around us.
But the first step is looking forward. We cannot change the past, so we must live in the present-and look to the future. The choices of now will define the path ahead.
Dr. Ken's philosophy, a profound take on the central matters of life, has always been to find the positive. Learn to seek it out, and be assured that happiness awaits you there. The chance to imbue our lives with true, fundamental joy should not be missed!
