5 Book Recommendations to Live a Happier Life

Cultivating Compassion – Jeffrey Hopkins

Compassionate people are happy people. Why? Because they do not put expectations on others and very little – if any, on themselves. Compassionate beings don’t spend hours pondering why that person would rage earlier on the interstate. They’ll simply wish them well and move on with their lives. The same goes for when they make a mistake. Instead of self-deprecating for days, they practice self-forgiveness and aim to do better the next time a similar situation arises. This book will teach you to stop holding grudges, release what you cannot fix, forgive, and move on. Meditation is a big part of this book which will teach you how to reach a peaceful state of mind regardless of your environment. Give it a try, and let us know how it works for you. 

The Power of Now – Eckhart Tolle

Has it ever happened to you that you get home after work or a long day, and a family member asks how your day was? And then you realize that you cannot recall your day! This happens because you were not present throughout your day. You were simply going through the motions like a robot but failed to stop and enjoy the present moment. In order to make better decisions and live a happier life, it helps to be grounded in the now. In his book, The Power of Now, Tolle tells you how he went from being overly stressed and suicidal to feeling grateful for every second of his life.

Being mindful is one of those things that sounds much easier said than done. Mindfulness educator, Tessa Watt, nailed this one down.
