While promoting contentment from within, Shadonna Richards provides us a book full of empowering messages to “find inner-peace, relaxation and happiness as you journey through the pages...” Each message is poignant, thought-provoking, and most of all, reflective.  For example: “Happiness is a choice we make.  It is not dependent on anything outside of yourself but acts independently. Choose to be content with who you are and all that you’ve become while you journey to becoming more”.

Most pages have a space after the message to journal your thoughts which I highly recommend you do.  Because of the impact of each message has, I suggest using one each morning to set the tone of the remainder of the day. Five or 10 minutes of contemplation on the message may be exactly what would prevent you from acting on impulse, lashing out, or feeling sad.

Richards’ study of great thinkers, along with her psychology background, gives her the ability to master a creation, “Think & Be Happy,” so we can maintain happiness in our lives.  Happiness is the core to health, kindness, joy and fulfillment. This book would be a wonderful gift to give a friend or family member.
