Very pleasing to read

This book reminds us of what we already know - that we are indeed responsible for our choices which result in our lifestyle outcomes.

It is a timeless nudge at what we are all hoping to achieve and how we embrace or block the results - a very inspiring read.

Possible bible for wellbeing

One glance at the subtitle and I immediately think this book is about thriving. It is.
Inspired by the teachings of Aristotle and Buddha as well as the French essayist Montaigne and Russian novelist Tolstoy, author Alexandra Stoddard offers readers an invitation to the art of living the good life. Time and again, I have heard and read we each have the ability to choose our actions everyday and when we cannot control what happens to us, we can still choose how we react. Still, creating a more fulfilling, happy and peaceful life by changing negative thoughts to positive ones is often easier said than done. Sprinkled with inspirational quotes You Are Your Choices offers readers solutions to live the good life from practical (readjusting your priorities when someone you love is in a health crisis) to the well-being pacifist ideal (offer up hugs freely and hold hands in a group cirle.) While there was one tip I didn't feel fit with the ideal tone of the book, though it made sense and was no doubt practical (packing the unused trial sized shampoo bottle from the hotel room you paid for) Stoddard offers readers inspirationial instruction, 50 ways to appreciate our time on Earth and make the most of everyday.
