40 Days to a Joy-Filled Life: Living the 4:8 Principle

This book is life changing! Definitely one you can read again and again and again for reminders. You will get something out of this book no matter who you are. I would recommend every single person should read this!

The media could not be loaded. If you’re stuck in a constant state of low self esteem, negativity, depression, anxiety, or anything else dragging you down, this book could change your life.I’ve always struggled with tending to think negative, depressing thoughts. It wasn’t until I decided to pick up this book that I truly realized the damage it was doing in my mind, body, and spirit.After reading this all the way through, I can truly say that it has changed my life. It has changed the way I view myself, the way I process difficult events, the way I handle negative thoughts, and because of that, has even drastically changed my relationships.No price is worth bettering your thought life and mental health, and I know that this book could be a step in the right direction for anyone willing to pick it up.I loved all of the thought provoking exercises each day and that the book gave me space to journal. This is a must if you’re ready to take back control of your mind!

If you are sad or depressed or anxious get this right now. It’s likely due to your thought patterns!! Don’t get me wrong there are chemical things at play- I’m a combat vet, so I get it. But this book is such a valuable tool to get your thinking re-aligned. Learning how to change that mental channel is so helpful. The fact that it’s a day-to-day lesson makes it sink in. I plan to re-read every year! I have already purchased this for my son, my husband, my mom, my sister, and a few friends! I believe in it. It’s incredible! The key to success is- open the book & do it. Start every morning with it. Put down the phone (preaching to myself) & do this! You will thank me. The people that I know that I’ve actually finished this have been changed forever by it. My friend told me “You will read it when the time is right for you, it finds you when you need it most”, but that time is probably today!

Purchased this for my daughter in college! She loves it.

So many good ideas to help see things in a more positive way and action steps to make it stick.

40 Days to a Joy-Filled Life is a book of inspiring principles. I wanted to read it because I recently realized that because of some of the things I've gone through in my life, I lived in survival mode. So I wanted to begin the process of attaining the tools to thrive in this life. This book is my first step.I've enjoyed it quite a bit and love the exercises as they enable me to think about what I've read and apply it to my life. Therefore I own the knowledge and it's not something I just read.The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because some of the information is redundant. I'm not sure if that is because he is trying to drive specific messages home, or he ran out of material. Still 4 very strong stars.

wow! What an incredible devotion. It truly changed my mindset of living and helped me to truly change the way i think. It is revolutionary but so extremely practical. If you need your thinking to be transformed to think of what is true, just, pure, and righteous, then this book is for you
