The pursuit of happiness should be a joyous race, not a backpedaling grind. But when negative emotions take over, it's difficult to put one foot ahead of the other, let alone break into a run. The first step in pursuing happiness is to realize powerful choices exist. Determining to make them comes next. Renowned Christian psychiatrist, Dr. Frank Minirth is back with more hope than ever for those in the grip of pressing emotions. Drawing from a deep well of experience, clinical practice, and devotional life, Minirth will empower you with a broad array of practical coping strategies. His unique blend of medical, behavioral, and Biblical principles will help you overcome such issues as discouragement, stress, difficult relationships, aging, loneliness, depression, and grief. Happiness is a Lifestyle offers a wealth of information in each chapter, including six ways to turn loss into gain, nine lessons on grief, eight choices for a happy marriage, a half-dozen ways to help troubled teens, twelve tools for overcoming discouragement, and more. This action-oriented, positive book will give you specific steps to achieving lasting happiness. About the Author Frank B.
