Marci Shimoff, author of the New York Times Best Seller, “Happy For No Reason“, and one of the highest selling non-fiction female authors in the world. She was a featured teacher in “The Secret” and is recognized as one of the greatest transformation experts in the world today.
Marci spoke at our annual event last year, and was a huge hit. What’s interesting is that with all of the economic uncertainty and fear that exists, her message is more relevant than it has ever been.
Here’s shot of me with Marci (on the right), as well as Janet Attwood, co-author of the New York Times Bestseller, “The Passion Test” (another one of my favorites).
Tony Hseih, who I spoke of previously from Zappos.com, spent 15 minutes in his presentation discussing how IMPORTANT it is to get grounded in what TRULY makes you happy.. and that as long as you think it’s MONEY that is what makes you happy, you’re never going to BE happy.
The theme of “happiness” worked through most of the discussions and presentations during SANG, and it was clear to me that successful people recognize how important it is to know what your passion is, and what makes you happy.
What I’ve witnessed is that the economic downturn is forcing people to really question their assumptions, and focus on what really makes them happy.
The problem for all of us is that society teaches us to orient our goal of happiness towards money — in other words, get lots of money, and happiness will find you. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works.
Marci’s message is that if you FIRST gain happiness, then money follows that! This is the opposite of what most people believe, and explains why there are a lot of wealthy people who are miserable.
In these turbulent times, it’s now more important than ever to be happy from the inside out, and not let your wealth or income dictate your happiness level. What’s cool about her book is that she lays out the STEPS involved in bringing and attracting more happiness into your life.
If you haven’t already read Marci’s book, I would highly recommend it NOW. I think the message is very powerful, and provides you a calm and comfortable place to go if you’re feeling stressed or anxious about the economy or what’s going on around us.
Today is actually the release of the paperbook edition of “Happy For No Reason”, so you can actually get it hot off the presses now at a discount. Marci’s also got a whole bunch of bonuses that she’s committed to for anyone that buys the book to support this book launch.
If you’re interested in learning more about Marci and her wonderful book, go to this link and check it out. If you buy the book you get a bunch of bonuses, and I think that is only for the next day or two.
By the way, in case you’re wondering, I get NOTHING for telling you this, other than knowing that I’m sharing a powerful message with a lot more people! And, I’ll probably get an even bigger hug the next time I see Marci!]]>
