We all struggle with a variety of issues in this life. What it boils down to is how you manage the struggle to keep yourself happy along the way. In The Road to True Happiness, Logan Dominique James (“Lj”) shares his journey of becoming the joyful person he is today in the hopes of helping others. Blending personal, inspiring stories with solid life advice, Lj weaves through a myriad of topics, from bullying, racism, grief, and anxiety, to love, kindness, hope, and happiness. Lj has struggled with such health issues as gynecomastia and multiple chemical sensitivity, and he has learned to manage his health by rising up and making decisions based on what he knows he needs, even when others question him. From the tools he has gained through life experience, Lj has gone from having a lack of self-confidence and feeling insecure to celebrating and expressing his authentic self and sharing his positive energy with others. Because of this, he doesn’t regret his struggles, even those that have brought him to his knees. The Road to True Happiness is not only a truly inspiring memoir of profound personal experiences, but also an owner’s manual for learning to believe in yourself, because when you love yourself, others will love you too.

Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

For decades, I foolishly believed that the more I laughed, the more pleasure I felt, and even the more I got, the happier I'd be. But the truth? I was miserable! In my early thirties, I finally humbled myself enough to open my eyes to the truths around me, and once I did, I started to understand that without the power to be truly happy, I just couldn't be. Thus, I began to focus my efforts on becoming more powerful, but it didn't take me long to realize that merely acquiring more power of any sort wasn't good enough, as I needed to acquire the power to be responsible with my powers. Far too many people believe that happiness can be acquired through little more than positive thinking, reading uplifting quotes, and the like, but our happiness is the result of the choices we make. Yes, there's a place for feel-good quotes in our lives, but without a solid understanding of the science behind the scenes, we'll only experience happiness occasionally as we stumble across the path from time to time. The problem? Sometimes happy and even mostly happy aren't nearly good enough to be truly happy. Life was never meant to be lived alone, and just like hiking a trail with family and friends, walking the path of true happiness will be far more enjoyable when shared with those we love. Please join me in learning how to live faithfully.

Follow comedian Gabriel Rutledge on an occasionally-uncomfortable, always-funny look at the life of a modern road comic as he continues his climb toward the middle of the pack. Equal parts incisive and intimate, Rutledge relates-in hilarious detail-the challenges and struggles of raising a family and pursuing a comedy career, all while battling the horrors of the comedy condo, the slow death of performing to a captive nursing home audience, and the nightmare of air travel with a fellow comedian who just can't pick up on social cues. With his customary wit and searing honesty, Rutledge-2004 winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition-pulls back the curtain on his life, his family, his art, and probably more about his bathroom habits than he should. Sometimes laughter hurts, but then again, happiness isn't funny.

It is described in the Srimad- Bhagavatam that even the Supreme Lord Krishna cannot measure the limits of His own expansion or the happiness that is coming from Him simply because it is always unlimitedly increasing. Therefore, it is advised that the best that one can do is to surrender unto His lotus feet, which alone can deliver one from the miseries of repeated birth and death, and allow one to perceive all happiness. This is the key to attaining real happiness.
