The economy is in the cellar and stress is at peak levels! Is it possible to experience, fun, happiness, and joy this season?
Lighten up, Loosen Up and Happiness shows UP!
Consider thinking of “Happiness” in terms of Psychological Wealth; a phrase coined by Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener in their book Happiness. This book puts the “How To” of achieving Happiness in easy, understandable terms backed up by evidenced-based research. Did you think happiness was all about having lots of money and no worries! Forget about it! Having lots of money and no worries will make you happy is a great big myth! Discover the truth about happiness.
Happiness Truths:
- Happiness is the name we put on how we think and feel about our life.
- Happiness is a process and not a place.
- People who are truly happy do not just experience joy and other passing pleasant feelings, they also experience an abundance of positive emotions such as love, commitment, and gratitude that connect them to others.
- Happiness is a balance between life satisfaction (personal fulfillment), life meaning and purpose (spirituality), positive attitudes, positive relationships, health, money, and engaging activities. How do you feel about each one of these domains?
- Happiness is beneficial to effective functioning. That means when we experience positive emotions, we become more creative, more alert, more productive, and more focused on healthy self-care habits.
If you want to increase your positive emotions, feel connected to others, take action and engage in creative and fun activities this holiday season. My first suggestion is to play the games described in my very soon to be published E-Book “Cancer and the Healing Power of Play…A Prescription for Living with Presence, Acceptance, and Trust co-authored by Izzy Gesell. This is a book that will provide a process for you to experience positive emotions, connect to friends and family, laugh, and help you enjoy play for the sake of play. Your immune system will love you! Click on the book cover on the right for more information.
My second suggestion is to take a look at books Authored by Rebekha Delgado and illustrator Joy Delgado. Their bilingual story books are unique and bring a new concept to learning. Their newest book “Zooprise Party” teaches the reader interesting facts about some unique animals. Learn more about “Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa” and get lots of free activities at:

I like it: smart, simple, terse, accurate (it appears). I don't have time to read it thoroughly, but I will.
Thanks for sending it. As for distributing it, I don't consider myself an expert on marketing. There could be a section of games, each one described in terms of a group such as bipolar, recovering from depression,
cancer patients on heavy meds, cancer suvivors... So your example balances against whatever readers have in their heads.
Are you making a DVD? that could be an ideal followup to the book. No matter how convincing the prose, a DVD takes the customer into actions.
David Shepherd--good luck
