3 Steps To Happiness: Healing Through Joy

Deva Press

2003

A three-step process that will help you move into your natural, joyful state of being. Happiness is our natural state of being. It is who we are. This happiness is obvious when you look at little children before they take society's beliefs. Their natural state is to feel all of their feelings without resistance, leaving them free to spend most of their time being happy and playful. It is not necessary to be happy all the time. By applying the simple three-step principles in this book, however, you can develop the ability to be happy whenever you choose. Dr. Teitelbaum's personal experience with thousands of very ill patients shows that these techniques can help you reclaim both health and passion in your life!
