About this title

From the Back Cover

Think this, not that
Just as a healthy body produces energy, a healthy mind produces joy. This is not an accident! If you want to experience vibrant health and abundant energy, you need to eat certain foods while refraining from others. Likewise, if you want to experience abundant joy, you need to change your mental diet. Simply put, you have to think this, not that. And with God’s help, you can.

This book is not about thinking the way most people think. It is about thinking the way few people think!

Building on the core message of the New York Times bestseller The 4:8 Principle, 40 Days to a Joy-Filled Life is a collection of inspiring daily readings, provocative questions, and practical guided exercises designed to help you think, speak, and act in ways that directly result in abundant joy and equip you to handle even the most desperate times and difficult people.

The blissful, stress-free existence you’ve always wanted is just forty short days away―so let’s get started.

It’s time to unlock the secret to a joy-filled life!
