How to Be Happy and Successful Now

Book excerpt: Many of us dont get what we want in life because we sabotage ourselves: We procrastinate. We resist. We dont follow through. We dont do the things we know are in our best interests. The result is a life of unfulfillment and disappointment. It doesnt have to be that way. In How to Be Happy and Successful Now, Dr. Jacobson maintains that by eliminating the guilt, shame, and self-loathing deeply-embedded in our unconscious mind, our world changes for the better: We start attracting people and circumstances that cooperate with our goals and propel us toward the manifestation of our hopes and dreams. Dr. Jacobson details in the book: how our thoughts create reality; the varieties and subtleties of self-sabotage; the root causes of self-loathing which generates self-sabotaging behaviors; the process of forgiving our projections onto other people to forgive ourselves, esteem ourselves, and end self-sabotage; the process of forgiving others and the difficulties encountered because of our unwillingness to let go of judgments; the Forgiveness Diet, a self-empowerment program with a daily regimen of thoughts, actions, and exercises; and the Success Diet plan, a follow-up to the Forgiveness Diet. The Mission of How to Be Happy and Successful Now is to help people end self-sabotaging behaviors and overcome obstacles in order to create a life of joy, inner peace and prosperity.
