WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU FELT THE WAY YOU WISH YOU COULD FEEL ALL THE TIME?

In this wonderfully simple yet profound book, professional counselor and teacher Mavis Karn, author of the letter to kids (and former kids) known around the world as "The Secret", shares lessons learned from over 45 years of working with individuals, families, schools, businesses, hospitals, prisons, professional athletes, and teams.

If you've ever wondered why you can be on top of the world one minute and ready to give up the next, how it is that some of your best ideas come when you least expect them, or how to find true peace of mind in the midst of a chaotic world, this "user's manual for human beings" will leave you saying "it can't be that simple!"

But what if it could?

Mavis Karn is a counselor/educator/consultant in private practice in St Paul, Minnesota. She is also a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
