Happiness project 2012: how to live joyfully in 2012 - based on "A course in happiness Review
Source: Product DescriptionDo you want to start cultivating joyful living, here and now, and keep doing it for the whole 2012 and beyond? If so, "Happiness project 2012: how to live joyfully in 2012 – based on “A course in happiness”" is here to facilitate you.
This book is inspired by the blog http://www.amareway.org/ However, "Happiness project 2012: how to live joyfully in 2012 – based on “A course in happiness”" offers all new and unique content which is not to be found on the blog.
The book offers tools to assess one's well-being, and approaches to live a happier, purpose-driven and flourishing life, starting now in 2012. Happiness, writes Frank, is not “a place to reach and blissfully sit there forever. If we are concerned only with happiness, we are going to miss it; if we live our lives in ways appropriate to the context, we are happy.” Here, you find examples and inspirations of holistic views about well-being which facilitate you in cultivating your happiness, for the benefit of all beings.
The first eleven chapters of the book are based on AmAre, an acronym which stands for "being":
- Aware and Accepting
- Meaningful and Motivated
- Active and Attentive
- Resilient and Respectful
- Eating properly and Exercising
They also address questions like “Is happiness an inside job? Or does it depend on external factors?” by thinking in terms of degree of facilitation. “Some events are like a weight” says Frank, “making harder for people to fly; some are like a lift, facilitating people's happiness. However, considering even the way human beings discern between weights and lifts is subjective, happiness is about attitudes and choices, it is not a place to reach through external factors”.
Other chapters are devoted to measuring the external outcomes of living happily, both on a personal and social level; showing the connection between Consciousness and Science of happiness:how to start Shifting paradigms to facilitate joyful living; a wrap-up to put all together with an action plan.
Appendix offers examples of how to apply AmAre to relationships, peace, etc.
The author of the book, Frank Ra, is a Dharma instructor, has been coaching and working in eCommunication since late 1995; he studied Dharma, Business, and graduated in International Relations and Diplomacy.

He is now settled in beautiful British Columbia.
