- Author Jacqi Lumer does it again in another delightful work, "Self Help."
Within the pages of this book, we are given beautiful pictures nestled in the glow of pink color that portray the beginning of our expressions.
We are given the start of a sentence, such as, " I have no regrets about," It's okay to be selfish about," or "Little things that make me happy are," and we are encouraged by the page alone to fill the blank with our inward feelings.
It's always helpful to be able to write down our emotions, be free to express our heart, and in this well constructed book we are given the nudge that maybe needed to complete that task.
I enjoyed this and intend to put it to good use. Very nice work; simple, yet effective.

5 comments about The Purpose and Meaning of Life.
- In a simple and straight-forward style, this book offers universal truths found in eastern philosophy which will resonate with people of all faiths providing clear evidence of the oneness of God. One can find layers of meaning in the wisdom imparted in this book which includes practical guidance about life, love, detachment and contentment.
Without preaching, Chopra conveys lessons in spirituality, morality and psychology cleverly woven together with the story of one young man's journey which provides examples of practical applications of the insights offered. Chopra's book shows how one can learn to live purposely and achieve success and fulfillment in their business and personal lives by making choices and decisions thoughtfully rather than reacting on emotions. In following the guidance for understatnding the "flow" of life's journey, one can gain confidence, achieve freedom from fear, and embark on a self-discovery mission.
- This book summarizes life as the author wrote:
"Life ends--even as we live assuming it will go on forever. Everything flows and changes--all the time!" In my opinion, this is the theme of the book, which was written in a simple yet so rich of wisdom manner. To understand this book, the author gives us his and other people experience throughout time based on common believe of all good people of all relegions and believes. This book can be read as a story with many meanings, as wisdom text book, or as guidance to life book. Every time I read this book I found new great meanings, new wonderful ideas, and a good way to relax ... When you read this book you feel you know the author as a close friend, as great teacher, or an excellent leader. As a reader and a writer, this book has already helped me a lot in many ways, especially enriching my knowledge and philosophy of life and wisdom. One can also read here about all good people having similar believes of the great powerful Creator behind all creations!

- I started reading this book when I was flying to Europe and the first part "Ashes" had really profound impact on me and I was not able to control my tears.
"The Brook represents the Universal Flow of actions. The flow of thoughts constitutes the mind and the flow of actions constitutes the life." There are so many lessons that can be earned from this book. It makes you think and understand what the purpose of life is. It sets you free to find out who you really are, what you really want, where your passions are, and how you can get there. This is a kind of book that I will turn to again and again whenever I need some inspiration. Regardless of where you are in your life, I suggest that you read this book, with a pen in hand to write down what you are feeling and thinking. Thank you Dr. Prem Chopra for this wonderful book!

- One of the treasures that any library MUST have, I bought the book last summer and read it at different occasions, each time I read the book, I start to have different senses and feelings about the stories of the book.
No matter how you start reading this book, one would learn valuable insights. I started reading the book from the beginning and jumped to the end and moved to the middle of the book and found myself getting more hooked up withing the story lines.
The characters of this book are fabulous and out-spoken, even though the author of the book is trying to introduce the lessons and experiences via some imaginary people, one may realize that those characters are responding back to him/her.
Although I am from Saudi Arabia where I was raised in a unique culture, values and backgrounds, I found my self very compatible with the values and ethics that this books introduces.
I recall one occasion when I had a long waiting hours at an air port, I could not get my eyes out of the book and was about to miss my flight:).
With this book, I assure you that your life and expectations of it will be more meaningful and purposeful.

5 comments about Happiness the Real Medicine And How It Works.
- Wow! This book is great for people of all ages! It gives you specific guidelines that you can use on a daily basis to learn how to handle life's ups and downs with grace and with a positive frame of mind. Very practical and easy to understand! Thank you, Blair!
- I have used Blair Lewis's book "Homepathic Remedies" for eighteen years. Therefore I was delighted to read his latest book on happiness. The chapters on diaphragmatic breathing have been very helpful to me and I recommend that every age learn this.
- This is book is a true gem. Nowhere else have I found such a simple,
practical and yet profoundly useful guide to creating a life for yourself that
is joyful and productive. I would recomend this book to anyone looking
to bring a little happiness into their life and the lives of their loved ones.
- Featuring black-and-white illustrations and the occasional humorous cartoon, Happiness: The Real Medicine and How It Works is a self-help guide to improving one's outlook and quality of life. Author Blair Lewis reveals that happiness is an intrinsic human condition, obscured by negative emotions such as fear and guilt, and the never-ending quest for material possessions. Chapters cover traits shared by happy people such as self-restraint, disentanglement from conflict, and the cultivation of a quiet mind; how to develop a positive personal philosophy and wean oneself from the pharmaceuticals marketed to promote "happiness"; techniques for obtaining happiness including learning to love oneself, meditation, and yoga therapy; and much more. Happiness: The Real Medicine and How It Works looks especially to the ancient wisdom of East India as it guides the reader's thoughts toward a more pleasant and fulfilling existence.
- Everyone has their own definition of happiness. But how many people do you know who are really, truly happy? It seems we are always a little less than satisfied with ourselves, our relationships, our possessions, our job...the list goes on. Still, we go on striving to find happiness. Usually, we look in all the wrong places.
Blair Lewis, a long-time medical practitioner from the Midwest, is one of the happiest people I know. But he wasn't always like that. It took years of searching and experimentation for him to reach his goal. And when he found ideas or techniques that worked for him, he shared them with others who were also searching for true happiness. While he has been using his personal understanding of happiness to transform the lives of his patients for the past 20 years, he has finally distilled his unique approach to wellness into a book, Happiness: The Real Medicine and How It Works.
Blair gets at the things that lead to real and enduring happiness. His practices and techniques are drawn from the oral tradition of Himalayan yoga masters and have been tried and tested over thousands of years. There is nothing fancy in this book, just practical information and profoundly simple techniques that are the core of yogic self-transformation.
Blair uses his own personal quest to find happiness to lead the reader through the first half of the book as he shows us how to develop a personal philosophy that will bring clarity to our lives and identify the major obstacles to lasting happiness. He blends his stories of how learning yoga science and ayurveda into an easy-read autobiography that never looses sight of its goal. Blair's story brings the student-teacher relationship to life in a manner that is refreshing, modern and practical.
This is hands-down the best introduction to the philosophy of yoga as self-transformation I've seen. It's the kind of book that can make advanced yoga practitioners re-evaluate their personal practice, while at the same time is great for friends, family, and co-workers who might be completely new to the theory and practice of yoga.
Get two copies, and give one to someone you love.
