Simple Secrets to a Happy Life by Luci Swindoll is a collection of 50 ways to make the most of every day. Written with personal insights, she shares with honesty, what doesn't work and what does. On the things that didn't work; she also shares the answer to the failure; pointing out of course that she doesn't have ALL the answers. Along with the natural, day to day living is the spiritual aspect that flows into everything she does. This is written by an intelligent, witty, very accomplished woman who encourages us to live life to the fullest with great joy.
For some who are looking for something deep, they might miss the point that often wisdom can be simple. That's why so many times we miss it thinking, " it CAN'T be that simple!". Some of the things she wrote about; are things that some of us might think I already know that. But its some things that are good to revisit and to also realize these things we take for granted have NOT always been taught to the younger generations. Being on time, keeping your word, integrity, treat others with kindness, just to name a few. Someone has to say it and she did. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and it was easy to read with the short nugget type style she used. Written with humor, she also gave the reader a pretty clear idea of who she was; her style and her complete embracing of who she is. My new favorite saying is what her grandmother used to say, "A day is wasted unless we fall over in a heap laughing". This is the first time I've ever read anything of her's but now I want to see what else she has out there!!
I received this book free from the publisher through the Book
