Craig Byrnes encourages you to broaden your scope of the thought that bad things that happen are entirely negative. Great transformations can come from very painful events that lead us to mindfulness meditation.

Amazing writer This book is written from a journal point of view with daily affirmations thoroughly insightful. I highly recommend this book. This is not a book to read page by page in a day, take it a little at a time and savor the thoughts that go through your mind as you read these pages. The writer guides you into his world and insight. It gives you a lot to think about.
