Since I launched tinybuddha.com in September of 2009, I’ve hosted quite a few giveaways for books that moved me.
Today is a very exciting day for me—one that’s a year in a half in the making: Today I am giving away five free copies of my book.
If you’ve been reading for a while, you may think I’m referring to my book about life’s hardest questions, which Conari Press will publish at the end of this year.
This book is something altogether different.
Tiny Buddha’s Handbook for Peace & Happiness is the ultimate guide of Tiny Buddha wisdom, based on some of my most powerful, popular posts and quotes from the site.
You’ll also find five posts not previously published on tinybuddha.com.
With 161 pages, Tiny Buddha’s Handbook for Peace & Happiness explores concepts essential to loving yourself, your relationships, and your life.
According to feedback throughout the site, the content has helped readers:
- Feel a sense of empowerment to make positive changes in their lives
- Accept and love their authentic selves
- Depend less on external approval for happiness
- Experience a greater sense of happiness in the present moment
- Move on from painful events to feel joy again
- Let go of negative feelings, attachments, fears, worries, and stresses
- Stay present and peaceful, even when dealing with uncertainty
- Create and maintain peaceful, loving, meaningful relationships
- Deal with difficult or negative people
- Slow down while still achieving goals
- Find the courage to start pursuing meaningful work
- Create and seek new possibilities for excitement and adventure
- Overcome obstacles, mental blocks, and criticism to seize dreams
I’ve categorized the posts into the following sections:
- Developing Self-Love
- Happiness and Mindfulness
- Letting Go and Letting Peace In
- Maintaining Healthy Relationships
- Reconciling Busyness and Happiness
- Creating the Life You Visualize
Through this eBook, I’ve shared myself authentically and vulnerably. I have also offered countless action-oriented suggestions to improve your state of mind, and in doing so, change your life.
These are my most popular, value-packed posts, as viewed by over a million readers in the last year and a half, hand-picked and edited into one easy-to-access PDF file.
