Synopsis

8 Ways to Happiness is for anyone who has stopped to ask themselves, “Am I happy?” or “Why am I not happy?”, and is not willing to spend 10 years in therapy or take a pill with side effects that make them feel even worse than they do now. Furthermore, it is for those who ARE taking medication for their "Dis-Ease” with life and STILL not feeling better. The 8 chapters are focused on common places that human beings get stuck, such as Loneliness, Loss, Hatred, Shame, and Heartbreak, with relatable snapshots and exercises to build new roads into Hope, Love, Faith, and Happiness. Dr. Marissa Pei’s own pain from the past and fear of the future identify with readers and relay a message of hope. She provides those struggling to find happiness with alternative ways of seeing their own reality, as well as a chance to practice balance tools that shovel out the shii-take from their past and return it as fertilizer for new seeds of understanding about the unique, beautiful, wonderful, precious beings we all are.

Are you “waiting” for the next fabulous event in your life to be the thing that will finally make you happy?
There is a sad moment when we become “grown ups” and realize that our childhood dream of wishing upon a star to get what we want is just not going to happen. At that point, we are faced with two choices: live the rest of your life feeling like others are living the life you were meant to live, OR live the rest of your life living the life you were meant to live. Happiness is the key to living the life that you “Wished Upon a Star” for and this is the book that will make that wish come true!
