Introduction

"Thank you for giving these words space in your life. I hope they bring happiness and harmony in your life. I chose a conversational style intentionally, so you feel that you are talking to me. This book consists of tips organized by days of the week. Each day’s tip consists of PAS.

P: Practice/Technique.

A: Attitude.

S: Story.

The practices described are simple adaptation of the techniques we use in therapy so they could be used by anybody.

The attitude is a small thing but has a big impact. It is like glasses with which we see our situation. If the tint is dark, everything appears dark to us. If the glasses are clear, we see the colors and brightness of life. Excessive colored glasses can also alter our perception (that happens when people are intoxicated or manic).

The stories are from real life situations. These people are from all walks of life. These stories are not dramatic or sensational (like most media stories, although I certainly hear a lot of them in my practice as a psychiatrist), but mostly ordinary life situations that most people can relate to. One of these stories is bound to touch your heart.

Remember, knowledge until it is used to adapt Attitude, and Practiced in life, may not be of much use. So please apply what you learn and notice the enhancement in you joy in life. Please come back and share your experiences to help others.
