Pretty standard advice for this kind of self-help book, but it never hurts to hear it again. Mindfulness, make the choice to be happy, etc. Over all, decent read.

I heard about Awakening Joy while listening to Books of Your Life with Elizabeth. She was interviewing Melissa Gates and when they got around to the five most influential books of her she couldn't stop raving about. I meditate on a daily basis and like to think I practice mindfulness but I have not had a lot of luck with books about meditating or Buddhism. This book is different; somehow Baratz manages to come across as authentic and sincere and I could really relate to his message. Not only did I enjoy the book but I will be looking up his seminars and explore further.
