Who This Book Is For
You have been through something that shook you: a loss, a health scare, the end of a relationship, a wake-up call. Or you simply suspect that happiness has more to do with what goes on inside you than you were ever told.
You want something to do, not just something to read.
And you want to love the people in your life better without losing yourself in the process.
Where This Began
There was a time in my life when happiness was not supposed to be available. And yet some days it was. Not pretending. Not performing. Actually happy. I could not explain it, so I started paying attention.
Day after day I asked myself what I had been thinking about when I felt good, and what I had been thinking about when I felt low. As far as I could tell, what I felt had more to do with my thoughts than with where I was or what was happening around me.
I had more power over my own happiness than I had ever been told. This book is how I found it.
From the Book
Your mind is like a train station. All day long, every single day of your life, thoughts come rolling through. They don’t ask permission. They don’t knock. You cannot stop the train any more than you can stop your heart from beating.
Awareness is the platform.
The moment you step back and watch the train instead of riding it, everything changes.
From Chapter Two: Love Your Thoughts
What's Inside
A road map back to yourself.
Written from the middle of the climb.
Most self-help books are written from the mountaintop. This one is written from the trail. Mahashwar is still in it, still walking with a healing heart, still sorting the files, still learning what love asks of him every single day. That rawness is what makes this book different. Not theory. Not a system. A life, examined honestly, offered to you as a guide.

The Author
Mahashwar
Mahashwar is not writing from the mountaintop. He is writing from the middle of the climb, the same place you might be standing right now.
For over forty years he has helped people find their way to something better, in prisons, mental health centers, classrooms, and software training rooms. He knows what it looks like when someone has forgotten what up feels like, because he has forgotten it himself. He has been through a heart attack and the loss of love, and the long climb back after both.
This book is what he found along the way.
