Conquering Cultural Stress
By Murad, Dr. Howard M.d.
Dr. Murad has spent decades adding proof to his theory about preserving the body's youthful qualities from the inside out. Most recently, as he pored over the scientific data he'd collected on more than 4,000 patients in the past 10 years, he made a surprising discovery: by maintaining a happy, carefree attitude and the youthful levels of cellular hydration we had as a toddler, we can age in a healthy fashion that allows us to look and feel as young as possible. Overcoming chronic negativity and "cultural stress" - the silent killer that causes havoc in our bodies and leaves us feeling isolated, anxious, and depressed - could be the most effective strategy in sustaining positive changes in overall wellness. People who lost the most weight, boosted their metabolism, improved their looks and skin health, and reported more energy, fewer issues with chronic conditions, and higher levels of happiness all shared one thing in common: lower cultural stress.

How Happiness Happens
By Lucado, Max
In a world searching for happiness, bestselling author Max Lucado provides a personal plan for a life filled with lasting and fulfilling joy, supported by Jesus' teaching and modern research.Do you feel happy?How long has it been since you felt a level of contagious, infectious, unflappable, unstoppable happiness? Maybe your answer is, "All the time." If so, God bless you! (And consider suggesting this book to someone who needs it.) For many of us the answer is, "Well, it's been a while. I used to be happy, but then life took its toll."Only one-third of Americans surveyed said they were happy. How can this be? Education is accessible to most. We've made advancements in everything from medicine to technology, yet 66 percent of us can't find an adequate reason to check the "yes" box on the happiness questionnaire.Worldwide, people profess that happiness is their most cherished goal. Marketers get this. "Want to be happy?" they ask. Eat at this restaurant, drive this car, wear this dress. Happiness happens when you lose the weight, get the date, find the mate, or discover your fate. It's wide, this way to happiness. Yet, for all its promise, it delivers a fragile joy; here one day, tomorrow scattered by the winds of comparison, disappointment, or unmet expectations.Max writes, "There is another option. It requires no credit card, monthly mortgage, or stroke of fortune. Age and ethnicity aren't factors...an unexpected door to joy." In this book Max shares the unexpected path to a lasting happiness, one that produces reliable joy in any season of life. Based on the teachings of Jesus and backed by modern research, How Happiness Happens presents a surprising but practical way of living that will change you from the inside out.
