"We are in charge. We are the architects of our attitudes and experiences. We design the world the way we choose to see it!" -- Barry Neil Kaufman, Author, Happiness Is A Choice

If we're so smart, why aren't we happy? The answer: We have not yet created the vision to support such a reality. But we can! We can do it by changing our point of view ... by changing our beliefs.

In his best-selling book, Happiness Is A Choice, Barry Neil Kaufman, the founder and director of The Option Institute, presents a step-by-step process, which anyone can use to create feelings of optimism, personal power and happiness -- even in the toughest of situations. Kaufman observes that despite disappointment, illnesses, and physical and emotional problems, people who are most successful in finding happiness share certain traits. He distills these traits into "Six Shortcuts to Happiness," that can be used to heal troubled relationships, to revitalzie stagnant careers, to deal with stress or sickness, or to infuse new vigor into your life.

"I have long admired the work of Barry Neil Kaufman. Happiness Is A Choice is an excellent book, simple and effective for all." -- Bernie Siegel, M.D., Author, Love, Medicine and Miracles.

Kaufman is the author of ten books about making lasting life changes through loving, non-judgmental attitudes, including FutureSight, Giant Steps, To Love Is To Be Happy, Out-Smarting Your Karma, A Miracle To Believe In and A Sacred Dying.

His classic best-seller, Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues, is a spellbinding account of his son, Raun's, emergence from autism. When Raun was diagnosed to be autistic at 18-months-old, Barry and Samahria Kaufman were given no hope for a cure and advised to institutionalize the boy. Instead they created an innovative, home-based program and within three years Raun was completely cured. Clear and fascinating details of the program and their interractions with Raun are given. It is an invaluable tool for parents of children with autism or other special needs.

"Kaufman's story of accomplishing the impossible is engrossing and moving. This valuable book is not only fascinating on its own, but a source of encouragment to others." -- Publisher's Weekly
