Product Description

Arun Gandhi, Gandhi Institute director and grandson of Mahatma Gandhi
"This book will enlighten and ennoble the reader."

Book Description
Thought Creates Reality . . .

Everything humanity has ever created began with a thought. The place where you live, the clothes that you wear, and the paper on which these words are written were once only thoughts in someone’s mind. Your decision to read this, too, began with a thought.

Happiness Shapes Thought . . .

Everything we think is colored by our happiness, or lack thereof. Although individual definitions of happiness vary greatly, we all want to be happy. Early in life, we look for happiness among family, friends, even toys. Later in life, we may look for happiness in religion, money, sex, alcohol, education, marriage. . . . We all know where we have looked. But did we find what we were searching for?

Openness Manifests Happiness . . .

Genuine happiness, or enlightenment, is already within us; we have only to reveal it. As spring water rushes through open earth, so happiness flows through open lives. The question is how to open our lives to this inherent joy. The pages of Open Your Mind, Open Your Life hold answers to that question, thought by thought, from an Eastern perspective. Most of them may be new to you, some may seem like common sense (which is not so common), and others are universal truths not unique to the East. May each of them promote lasting happiness and ways of thinking that truly open your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatly encouraging book, 9 Mar 2002
Open Your Mind, Open Your Life is a simple yet thoughtful guide. Not just another daybook, it's practical and uplifting without the preaching. Makes a great gift. I keep one copy at home and one copy at work, and I enjoy reading from them every day.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Little Book of Insight and Inspiration, 14 April 2001
By A Customer
'Open Your Mind, Open Your Life' is the best collection of Eastern wisdom I've ever found. I'm so glad to see it on Amazon. The enlightening theme is that true happiness is within us all; we have only to reveal it. Filled with over 200 simple and inspiring guideposts based on the timeless wisdom of Eastern thought - including one of my personal favourites: 'The lotus flower blooms most beautifully from the deepest and thickest mud.'

The book's compact size allows me to carry it along for those times when I need a little extra inspiration and guidance. Beautifully illustrated as well. One of the most valuable books I've ever bought, and for the lowest price, too. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Profound Insight, 10 Sep 2001
By A Customer
The pages of this beatifully illustrated little book are filled with profound insight. I have been learning about Buddhism and various Eastern philosophies for over 15 years, and I especially enjoy collections of wisdom and rare quotations, like this one. I must say this is the first book of wisdom I have ever found in which each and every thought has either inspired me, assured me, and/or provoked me to deeper thought and self-reflection. The quality of content as well as the design of this little book is truly impressive. I highly recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life" to everyone who seeks self-improvement, true happiness, and a healthier perception of life's events, both the ups and the downs.
