Synopsis As Marci Shimoff recounts her life-long experience with self-help concepts such as visualization, goal-setting, the laws of attraction, and success, among others, as well as her career as a motivational speaker, what comes through is that she has a track record and a solid grounding that eventually led her to the realization that externals will not bring happiness; the work that needs to be done is internal. Shimoff offers two solid contributions: she identifies and explains how what she calls our "happiness set point" can help us gauge our happiness and how it can be "reset like a thermostat." And, she offers practical advice on how we can consciously work on seven key areas: personal power, mind, heart, body, soul, purpose, and relationships.
Shimoff backs up her insights with scientific research on happiness, and connects her ideas to the world's religions and wisdom traditions. She explains why her idea of "happy for no reason" is not a pie-in-the-sky view of life through rose-colored glasses, but a practical way of living that can bring about a deep, underlying feeling of peace and security.
