This book empowers spiritual seekers to find the strength in the midst of difficult times, to savor the joy of giving love to others, and to be in tune with the will of the great universe. This self-renewing guide to positive living will awaken us to the spiritual truths, infuse us with hope, strength and fulfillment, and lead us to walk the path to authentic, lasting happiness.

About The Author

Ryuho Okawa, a globally renowned best-selling author, revered World Teacher, and the founder and CEO of the Happy Science Group, was born on July 7, 1956, in Tokushima, Japan. From a young age, Okawa demonstrated remarkable self-discipline and humility, along with a strong desire to help others. His journey took a transformative turn in 1981 when he attained Great Enlightenment. Despite this profound experience, his humility remained unwavering, fueling his mission to share a universal Truth that unites spirituality, pragmatism, religion, and science into one cohesive source.

In 1986, Okawa left his prestigious career behind to establish Happy Science. Since then, the organization has grown into a global movement, with a presence in over 191 countries. Okawa has authored more than 3,300 books, which have been translated into 42 languages.
