The Miracle of Self Power

Book excerpt: Take a short journey into a world that may be completely new to you. The Miracle of Self Power explains why some people are unhappy in their lives because they knock themselves out trying to control the lives of the others around them. Or, on the other side of the fence, they may be unhappy because they have allowed someone else to "own" them. The author, Iris D. Lynch, has lived through these experiences and spent a lifetime documenting the various behaviors that we so easily and unthinkingly fall into. When these behaviors become habit, we tend to believe we were always that way and we cannot change. The author shows how you may have wound up learning self-defeating behaviors and how and why you can change them to enjoy a better, happier life. Each chapter helps you recognize any self-defeating behaviors of yourself or those loved ones around you. Even though you have no power to change anyone else's behavior, there are still specific ways to help create better outcomes than you may have had in the past. Changing how you play the game of life requires others to react differently. Along with the very happy style of Ms. Lynch, you will likely enjoy her sense of humor and real life examples. She then gives you specific ways to utilize the ideas she espouses following each chapter.
