Riassunto

A person s thoughts and beliefs can change his/her life. In fact, science as well as spirituality agree on this fact. But what if people can control the way they think, act, and feel? According to Chris Prentiss, by training oneself to think and feel in a certain manner, changes can happen in the body, which can go a long way in improving the overall well being of the person. In his book, Zen and The Art of Happiness, he gives valuable insights on how to create a vibrant life for oneself. The book advocates a personal philosophy that will let people enjoy all their life experiences. Imbibing this philosophy can also give them the wisdom that will help them face crises with equanimity and serenity. This approach gives an edge of light that banishes the shadows and darkness from their lives.

Recensione:

Short,sweet and helpful ‘Everything that happens to you is the best possible thing that can happen to you’. Sounds corny? Well, did sound corny to me too until I flipped through the pages and actually read the book. This is one of the first self help books which I have read and going by the experience, I am going to invest some time with this genre. The book is quite small, easy to read and the best part is that it does not preach. The book is a collection of a few simple ideas which if you implement, are sure to enrich your life. It does not go overboard anywhere, although a few ideas could have been better explained. Overall a very good read and if you accept the principles that underline the book, you can make a world of difference to your thought process. I know, because I did. Enjoy the read and stay happy.

Wonderful book! I just don't have the audacity to write praising words for this book. It's a gem, a valuable possession. The language used is simple & lucid, something that touches your soul & speaks from within. I was sick but don't know something inside me pulled me that I at a go read the book. ...and then was the peace! Really, the author the way he reflected upon certain aspects is something that we easily forget in stressful situations. But now I realize "whatever happens, that is the best that I/YOU deserve." If we start believing in this philosophy then we will find the inner stream of peace flowing inside us --Arijit Biswas Mar 3, 2012
