Happiness is an art. If you wish to practice this art, you must first decide that it is something that you want, above everything else. People that choose to be happy will at some point wake up to a day filled with smiles, joy, and laughter. If they are lucky, they will remember that day, focus on its high points, and strive to repeat it. Before too long, another happy day will appear, seemingly out of the blue. People around them will wonder why they seem to be so different. The reason will not be found in surface changes.
The Nine Insights For a Happy and Successful Life emerged from my own life long desire to help thousands of people find happiness. Happiness is a gift that we bestow upon ourselves each time that we embrace the joy that breathes within. This book outlines two main themes that will guide you on the road to happiness. The first explores methods that will help you discover the secret inner joy that already hides within you. The second explores powerful and effective methods that will help you remove the chaos and obstacles that prevent you from feeling and expressing that joy in your daily life.
Success and happiness travel together on the road to joy. Let us discover your inner path together.
In Gibson's book, Nine Insights, he shares with the reader what he thinks to be nine insights for a happy and successful life. It is written from his point-of-view and what he believes to be true. I can't say that I agreed with everything Gibson says in this book. As a Christian must put all books to test by the Bible before I am gun hoe on believing anything. In my mind I must always say well what does the Bible say about this before believing anything that man says. #1 thing Gibson never speaks of God, but speaks of the 'universe' in terms of being 'god'. Gibson mentioned dreams as being the way the universe communicates with us. I do feel that God can speak and communicate to us through dreams, but not the universe. God is in control of the universe. The author speaks of a universal unconscious force that regulates the movement of the stars, planets and life forms (p.137). God is in control of this not a universal unconscious force. The author refers to evolution. I am a creationist. The author uses the term evolve. If something evolves it gets better, I'm sorry but the human race if definitely not getting better we can see that in society as a whole. If we evolved then why do we die? why don't we keep evolving??? Also the author speaks of tithing (p.32&33) mentions that many religions never explain why we should tithe. That's just it we follow religion and not God's Word; God's Word clearly tells us why we should tithe. Get into God's Word and study it and you'll see the need to tithe. True happiness comes from the inner joy and peace that only God not a universal unconscious force can give to us. I was disappointed in the path that Gibson takes in this book. I thought it would lead in a different way than it did. I thought he would at least acknowledge God in some way. I can't say that I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is seeking true genuine happiness.
