Being human is fascinating! You get to experience many paradoxes in life! You get to see much diversity. You get to see people who are sad and lonely despite having lots of money, cars and fame; and people who are happy and positive despite having a simple life. All these paradoxes make life an amazing journey while teaching us a lesson: Happiness comes from deep inside, not from outside! Happiness is an inner state that can be achieved regardless of the surrounding environment. The key to happiness is in the way of thinking and our attitude .Starting the day with a positive attitude will build your day, while a negative start often comes with a gloomy end.

This friendly picture book helps young children make sense of mixed-up emotions. Happy, and also sad. Excited, but nervous too. Feeling friendly, with a little shyness mixed in. Mixed feelings are natural, but they can be confusing. There are different kinds of happy—the quiet kind and the “noisy, giggly, jump and run” kind. And there are conflicting feelings, like proud and jealous, frustrated and determined. With gentle messaging and charming illustrations, a little girl talks about her many layered feelings, ultimately concluding, “When I have more than one feeling inside me, I don’t have to choose just one. I know that all my feelings are okay at the same time.” A special section for adults presents ideas for helping children explore their emotions, build a vocabulary of feeling words, know what to do if they feel overwhelmed, and more.

While other relationship and marriage books simply offer tools, The Acceptance goes beyond by explaining what is at the core of what drives us to look for a mate in the first place, and, how that dynamic continues to play out in every interaction throughout the life of the relationship. “Symphonically weaving story-telling, scientific research, and professional experiences, Jon Anderson discovers the tools necessary for authentic marriages. Couples cultivating their own long-term health and happiness may not be needing to read The Acceptance, but they surely will be wanting to read it!” —Dr. Don Lucas – Author of “Being: You Happiness, Pleasure and Contentment”
