happiness: as Found in Forethought Minus Fearthought (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9782384555666)

"How to be happy is the one desire common to all humanity."The underlying cause of all weakness and unhappiness in Man-heredity and environment notwithstanding-has always been, and is still, weak habit of thought. Horace Fletcher wanted to make people aware that mental poisoning can cause bad effects. Negative thinking patterns can have a devastating impact on our health, our mental and finally our whole lives. Mental poisoning keeps fear in business and these thoughts can be destructive to your well-being. If you're struggling with negative thinking, read on to discover how to shift your mindset, cultivate inner peace, and live a fulfilling life. This is proven by the observed instances in which strong habit-of-thought has invariably made its masters superior to heredity, and to environment, and to illness, and to weakness of all kinds, and has redeemed them from non-success and misery, to the enjoyment of success, honor and happiness.This book offers not only a warning, but a practical guide to resilience and true happiness.Excerpt: "To all who will follow me through this volume, I promise to show ways and signs that will assist the weak to become strong, the poor to become rich in appreciation of their opportunities, and the rich to better enjoy their good fortune without impoverishing others to do so.The object of Life is Growth.Harmony is the condition favorable and necessary to growth.Harmony is the normal condition of Nature, as proven by the unfailing and immediate response of growth to its influence.Harmonic conditions are created by the removal of deterrents to growth.Mind is the first essential in the growth of Man. A healthy mind insures a healthy body, and a rational cultivation of the mind cannot fail to result in the attainment of the highest ideals.All of the processes of Nature are consistent, and Man and Mind are no exception to the rule regulating the growth of other things, except that their functions as chief assistants in evolution are unique, and, therefore, involve greater responsibility.Unselfishness is necessary to the harmonic condition in Man, and service to fellow-man is essential to his growth.Happiness is the evidence and fruit of Growth."
