I came across this book during a pivotal time in my life, and it helped me better understand how my own reaction to things is the biggest trigger for my emotional state. Learning how to apply positive vs. negative meaning to a situation was eye-opening. It is a practical read with a concise message and simple steps to begin the process of changing how we are wired to think. It is no easy feat, but it is possible with the right tools!
Chapter 5, “Success on your own terms,” was especially enjoyable and inspiring. Vahan takes us on his journey of self discovery and redefining success as well as happiness.
