The Law of Happiness

Starred review from April 11, 2011
If there is a technique for achieving happiness, it is maintaining a positive attitude. The author (The Secret Things of God) and radio host searches the scriptures and laws of human behavior to find common elements of contentment. "When we realize that we are working for God, every task becomes significant and meaningful," he writes. Happy people follow 14 simple principles outlined in the book; they are based on the Bible and require acting in faith. Cloud advocates getting the right attitude, forgiving ourselves and others, and then setting and pursuing definite goals. This simple book does a great job integrating the Bible into everyday life, especially for those looking for calling in life. It will appeal to the Christian reader who liked Rhonda Byrne's The Secret.
