About the Book
Lifestyle Engineering for Beginners teaches that to experience happiness it is necessary that the thoughts we use in self-appraisal must be the right ones. Without the correct choices of thought and commitment, lifestyle will be one of stagnation. Change is not only necessary it is fundamental to the sense of wellbeing. When that choice is habitually wrong, happiness and prosperity can never occur. Excuses abound that justify our actions or non actions to our selves, even when they are diametrically opposed to the true path to happiness. Relationships are also adversely affected.
Wrong habitual choice is like a disease that has two major symptoms.
1. Short term gratification (The urge to spend money that cannot be afforded)
2. Self-sabotage (Self empowerment paralysis)
Lifestyle Engineering for Beginners shows that these symptoms are a form of mental debris that must be effectively removed before any positive changes to feelings of self worth and can occur.
