The Little Secret That Can Change Your Life by Joann Davis

Are you suffering form a bad case of Affluenza? Do you realize that if you win the rat race, you are still a rat? Have you been thinking how you might simplify your life? No worries! Getting off of the treadmill is much easier than you think.

(PRWEB) March 10, 2005 -- The Little Secret That Can Change Your Life (Conari Press, April 2005) by Joann Davis is a collection of short inspirational essays designed to help readers discover the path to a more meaningful life, one that is less about workaholism, consumerism, debt, and frustration. The book suggests that a more rewarding way of living comes when we realize that beneath the surface of life is a spiritual economy made up of virtues and values. Money and material things matter, to be sure, but we need to understand they are not the end all and be all. Lets all of us be careful not to gain the world and lose our souls in the process.

Is this the life we want to live? An existence that threatens 'to destroy the human part of ourselves? This little book you hold in your hands says, 'No. It suggests that there is a better, richer, and more fulfilling way of life than the rat race. A way that shuns money worship, cutthroat competition, hyper commercialism, and material excess. A way that calls upon each of us to slow down, rearrange our priorities, and put live, caring, and kindness above the empty pursuits of buying, spending, and acquiring. It guides us to banish the 'reward mentality and make virtue its own reward. It inspires us to be captains of our souls rather than slaves of convention; to embrace a more idealistic vision of sacrifice and service from the 'me generation to the 'we generation; to lance our material and spiritual selves; and to value inner worth over outward appearances. Dont believe it can be done? Then read on and see what might be possible." ~ Joann Davis from The Little Secret That Can Change Your Life

If every person who reads this book chooses one way to leave the rat race and passes the idea to just one other person, in no time at all our national priorities could change. Children could become more important than money, virtue become its own reward, and corporate reed just a note in the history books.
