David Simon  noted researcher and co-founder with Deepak Chopra of The Chopra Center  suggests a different path: instead of dwelling on the negative  embrace the positive and make commitments to live a better life. In doing so  we will transform our intentions (losing weight  spending more time with family  etc.) into concrete actions that will make change happen.  This short  precise book is not a lecture  but a practical primer on thoughtful change. There is a continuing hunger for Eastern philosophy and spirituality among Westernersfinally  one of the Wests top experts  who has been writing on  lecturing  teaching  and practicing Eastern thought for over three decades  has melded these principles with our core Western beliefs  giving us a new perspective on the basic way we live our lives.  Key Features Very warm and engaging tone  excellent writing  and numerous anecdotes make for a very compelling reading experience. No \"new thought\" jargon: just precise  easily accessible advice. This is a breakout book. Helps us focus on the simplest answers  much in the tradition of books like Dont Sweat the Small Stuff. The ten step approach is familiar and comfortable. Small  inexpensive and beautifully packaged hardcover makes this a perfect gift or daily reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45965854408757,"sku":"ByrdShop_0757304060","price":21.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780757304064.jpg?v=1788370629","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-ten-commitments-translating-good-intentions-into-great-choices-9780757304064","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
