All of us have intuition that tells us what we need to do to make ourselves happy. As we learn to trust this intuition our lives become less stressful and more fulfilling because we are being true to ourselves and not following everyone else. This book is meant to inspire you to learn to trust that intuition, and find what works for you individually to calm your life and enhance it to the best of your ability. The writing style is playful and brings insight to serious topics so that the reader can relate and learn to enhance their life and decrease the stress that living can cause. The book jokes about dumb clichs that people use to try to comfort others, or to avoid the pain in life and the feelings that follow. It also teaches that if we do not feel the bad in life as well as the good, we will not grow. When we hit an obstacle in life, a decision is made whether to bang our head against the wall or try another direction to see where it leads. The point is to learn and grow in the process. The hope in this book is that you will think seriously about what you are doing to make yourself happy in this long life we are living.
