'Everything he writes is an enlightening education in how to be
human.' - Elizabeth Day To fix a machine, first you need to find
out what's wrong with it. To fix unhappiness, you need to find out
what causes it. That Little Voice in Your Head is the practical
guide to retraining your brain for optimal joy by Mo Gawdat, the
internationally bestselling author of Solve for Happy. Mo reveals
how by beating negative self-talk, we can change our thought
processes, turning our greed into generosity, our apathy into
compassion and investing in our own happiness. This book provides
readers with exercises to help reshape their mental processes.
Drawing on his expertise in programming and his knowledge of
neuroscience, Mo explains how - despite their incredible complexity
- our brains behave in ways that are largely predictable. From
these insights, he delivers this user manual for happiness.
Inspired by the life of his late son, Ali, Mo Gawdat has set out to
share a model for happiness based on generosity and empathy towards
ourselves and others. Using his experience as a former Google
engineer and Chief Business Officer, Mo shares his 'code' for
reprogramming our brain and moving away from the misconceptions
modern life gives us.
In this companion volume to her bestselling book "Acts of Faith, "
bestselling author and star of "Iyanla: Fix My Life" discusses the
"valleys" that cause stress and imbalance for women and explains
how women can cleanse their minds and promote a healthy foundation
for living in the modern world.""
"A Note from Iyanla Vanzant"
""Beloved friend,
When this little book was first published many years ago, it became
a beacon of light for many people who found themselves time and
time again in one valley or another. Valleys are nothing new for
any of us. Some of you may be in a valley right now, or, since you
never know what's around the corner, you may be on the brink of
tottering into yet another valley. Or maybe you've just survived a
valley that you swear you'll never revisit--but guess what? That's
precisely the valley you'll probably see again. And again.
Being in a valley can be a lonely and bewildering experience. This
book was written to help you feel less lonely by reminding you that
you really aren't ever alone since God is always by your side, but
more important, "you" are always by your own side. No matter how
dire the situation may seem, no matter how dark and bleak the
valley may be, you have all you need within you to survive the
valley--any valley. Even though you may not know how you got into
the valley in the first place, you do know, deep inside yourself,
how to get through and out and free. You just need a little faith
in yourself and a little guidance to find that faith within
yourself.
When you are at your wit's end, take this little book and let it
guide you toward the ever-present but often elusive light at the
end of the tunnel. "Faith in the Valley" is designed to help you
find the light when you need it most--when you're in that damn
tunnel. When you're most confused and in the dark and clueless as
to how you got there (again ) and when you're trying to figure out
not just how to get out, but stay out. For good.
"Faith in the Valley" has helped so many through so much that we
felt it only fitting to issue this lovely gift edition to
acknowledge the special place it holds in many hearts. Please share
it with a friend who has served as your beacon in the past, or
offer it to yourself as a reminder of the strength and wisdom you
possess and can offer to others.
