The Island Within
Try reading the Celestine prophecies. They have a great way of putting a similiar message.
An interesting read to be sure. I think if more people had the positive outlook the author mentioned, there may be fewer health problems in the world, certainly the number of hospitalizations for ulcers and stress related illnesses would decrease and it would free up beds for other sick people. Not to mention the added benefits of a happier and more productive workplace. The advantages to a positive outlook, even in the face of almost certain defeat are astounding. When I was in the military and going through boot camp, we had a couple of guys that were always saying "I can't make it" or "I can't go any further", but if they had simply thought "it's just a bit further, then I can rest" or "If I stop now I WILL die, so I have to keep going" they would have passed...as it was most of the doom cryers were weeded out and washed out of the service. The advatages of a positive attitude towards life in gerneral can't IMHO be overstated nor underestimated.
When I went to college I had to start learning this same thing.
It really is true, your life is as good as you percieve it.
I love you.
