Do you want to he happier?
Are you afraid of being hurt in relationships?
Are you aware of fearing sickness, of wanting to be healthy?
Are you desperate for more money?
Do you say yes to sex when you mean no -- or the reverse?
If you answered yes to any of the above, it's time to consider your options. The Option Process, based on the premise that to love is to be happy with, is an extraordinary new way to discard self-defeating beliefs, to clarify doubts that have for years inhibited your personal and professional success. It is an intimate, dynamic way to release your own inner energies -- including psychic strengths -- that can guide you to a richer, more successful, guilt-free, and happier life.

Most people would rather be right than happy. Too bad.
For those people (which of course includes me, far more often than I would like), I recommend this book, which teaches ways to defuse stress and thrive with all of life's challenges.
Barry Neil Kaufman, therapist, author, motivational speaker, and co-founder of the Option Institute, observes that - despite disappointments, illnesses, and physical and emotional problems - we can all be happy. He shows us how to change our lives without pain (the only overlooked major point is that it does require focus and repetition to change how our brains work).
I read hundreds of books every year but, if I were forced to choose just one, this would probably be it. It created such a positive impact on the quality of my life! Only quibble - this is the book that should have been called "Happiness is a Choice" but Kaufman had already used this title for a previous book.
This is one of my top four books on happiness. The others are: "How to be Happy" by Kline, "The How of Happiness" by Lyubomirsky and (for its detailed action steps that work well with Lyubomirsky's book) "Emotional Toolkit". All provide good practical advice.
[Later note: "The Longevity Project" by Friedman and Martin is a groundbreaking 80-year overview on what is really directly linked to happiness and health.
I am also impressed with "The Healing Code by Lloyd - an amazing process for emotional clearing. There are hundreds of success stories, including physical healings, on Amazon.com.
Don't miss!]

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Every part was helpful. The explanations gave me the background to understand the new ideas. The dialogue sections were easy and fun to read, and made each section crystal clear. The part I liked best, however, was the lists of "unhappy" beliefs that many people hold. I found many of my own beliefs on those lists and chose to change them. This one is my favorite of Kaufman's books.

Incredibly simple yet packed full of insights
into how we think and behave in relationships.
Mr. Kaufman shines a light on all the beliefs we
hold about love and relationships, and how those
beliefs lead us to fear, anxiety, distance, confusion,
and distrust. Once I saw the beliefs, it gave me
the power to change them, and have the type of
relationship I always dreamed about.
