This book is my personal story, my journey through life. I am
writing it despite what I read somewhere that it's not good to
write about oneself. But how can I write about things I haven't
experienced firsthand? The most difficult thing that has happened
to me in my life-divorce-also brought about the best things. I
discovered my own lifestyle-the happiness lifestyle. Maybe all that
is needed is a change of viewpoint and an understanding that if two
people are not headed in the same direction, it might be time to
part ways. Peacefully, lovingly, and with nothing but the best
wishes for the other person. I am writing this story for those who
are looking for happiness, searching for it themselves, or those
trying to deal with their relationships. I am also writing it for
myself. I am closing a chapter of my life, and I am assessing its
worth. I will write about my experiences, wins and losses, and
maybe through them you will realize what you want and don't want in
your life and those things that influence us in life. Sometimes it
can be some small thing, and sometimes something more serious, that
will be reflected in our subconscious. This negative information
about ourselves then influences us on our journey through life and
will trap us in certain models of behavior. My story is about
searching for my own path. Despite being divorced, I am fully
supportive of the family life, and that it is an arena of freedom.
What do you think gives us freedom? For me personally, it is being
able to speak the truth and have open communication. Thanks to
these two things I am able to grow, and the same goes for the
people that I am communicating with. We give each other an
opportunity for change. If we are not communicating openly and are
keeping our emotional wounds to ourselves, maybe we are destroying
a prospective relationship. Yes, I know, you need two to tango.
Where is the best place to start? With yourself. No one will teach
you how to live a happy life. We learn from our parents. Without
even knowing it, they are showing and teaching us models of
behavior, whether they are negative or positive. But as children,
we're not able to recognize what these are, and we accept
everything that we see and also what we feel. In January 2005, I
laid hands on Virginia Satir's book Conjoint Family Therapy. As
early as 1970, Virginia Satir was describing how we could live
freely within our families. Yes, we could, if we knew how to
communicate truthfully and openly, without fear, without anger, and
without hurt. My divorce mobilized all the inner power and skills I
had that I was unaware of until then. It was a valuable part of my
journey of finding myself This path began sometime during this
period. In the two years leading to my divorce, I felt as if I was
buried alive. Do you know that feeling? We can all decide whether
we want to live again and cherish every minute of life. I decided
that I did. This book is comprised of three parts: part 1 is my
very own story; part 2 talks about ways and methods that have
helped me; part 3 allows space for creation of a happy life. It is
an interactive e-book, so whichever way you choose, you will always
find something new. After clicking on the green words, you will
find more information on the topic. You can enter all your
additional inquiries into Google. "Don't believe a word I say." Let
the book inspire you. Examine and discover your lifestyle-the
happiness lifestyle.
Hiram Bingham was the ideal explorer-adventurer handsome, rich,
intelligent, brave, and tough. His life seems like something out of
film hero Indiana Jones s exploits in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The
descendant of strong-willed missionaries, Bingham was born in
Hawaii in 1875, At Yale he specialized in South American studies
and became a college teacher. Gradually, the romance of the past
took hold of his practical soul. Obsessed by the Incas and his
dream of uncovering lost cities, Bingham initiated and expedition
to Peru that would lead him to uncharted territories. Using
quotations from Bingham s accounts, Cohen describes how in 1911
Bingham made the greatest archaeological find of the century, the
rediscovery of Machu Picchu, the abandoned Inca city in the remote
Peruvian mountains. On later expeditions he discovered other lost
cities, as he continued his research on the mysteries of Machu
Picchu and the last of the Incans, despite the physical hardships
and dangers of exploration. When World War I broke out, Bingham
learned to fly no small accomplishment in those pioneering days of
aviation. He eventually joined the American forces in France as
head of the largest Allied flight training base in Europe. After
the war, the ambitious and restless Bingham entered a new career,
politics, and was elected senator from Connecticut in a landslide
victory. But he was too proud an individualist to do well in
government. Bingham spent the rest of his life writing and
lecturing. Bingham led the kind of action-packed life that most
people only dream of. Daniel Cohen has written a story sure to
capture the imagination of everyone who likes history enlivened by
cliff-hanging adventures."

Unfortunately, many teenagers feel alone in the world. They wonder
why they were punished and everyone else's life seems to be going
so well.
The collection of poems in "You're not Alone" reflects the pain,
confusion, love, hate, heartbreak, anxiety, and loneliness that all

they are not rowing the boat by themselves but rather, that they
have an entire crew rowing with them. They are all attempting to
reach a like goal: To make it through their teenage years.
Their wish will come true.
