Do you find happiness elusive? Perhaps the difficulty is in your expectation. Do problems continually crop up in your life?

Doctor Schuller suggests that the Beatitudes portion of the Sermon on the Mount has the answers you seek. And, in this book, he discusses the eight universal positive principles for living effectively. Here readers will find eight positive mental attitudes that make true happiness really possible for everyone . . . .

The focus of each chapter, showing the practical differences these attitudes can make in our lives, offers usable suggestions readers can easily adapt for their own lives. These chapters include:

“I need help – I can’t do it alone.”
“I’m really hurting – but I’m going to bounce back.”
“I’m going to remain cool, calm, and corrected.”
“I really want to do the right thing!”
“I’m going to treat others the way I want others to treat me.”
“I’ve got to let the faith flow free through me.”
“I’m going to be a bridge builder.”
“I can choose to be happy – anyway.”

Why not choose happiness?

In a society of quick fixes and instant gratification, it seems as though true happiness is always just around the next bend. But the “happiness” of the world will never offer the wholeness that makes one content and satisfied. Dr. Robert Schuller believes the answer to this cycle of disappointment, frustration, and regret can be found in one of the most famous passages in scripture – Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.
