Happiness is not a state but a decision How to get a grip on your life and build up your soul is shown by Gabrielle Bernstein in 108 simple behavioral exercises that we can practice every day. She addresses people who do not have the time to attend a yoga class every day or to meditate for an hour, people who want to develop spiritually, but first have to find a place for it in their everyday life. Against anger, stress, burnout, frustration and envy, Gabrielle Bernstein draws on old spiritual wisdom packed into a language that is understood today and with meditations and exercises that are appropriate for the everyday stress of the 21st century.
