12 Habits for a Sound Mind and Joyful Life by Diane Arnold Book Review

About the Book:


Leave the Baggage Behind--and Uncover the Authentic You

More than 70 percent of adults feel they have a mental health problem. Without a clear path to healing, they've followed the devastating lies and whims of our ever-shifting culture--causing them even more pain.

Offering real hope and a new road map for inner peace, licensed counselor and author Diane Arnold leads you on a redemptive journey of twelve life-changing truths that help you live an emotionally, mentally, and spiritually healthy life. Through uplifting teaching and practical exercises, she provides real-world solutions and a spiritual compass to help you

· discover--and accept--the REAL you
· pursue your purpose
· silence shame
· experience unconditional love and acceptance
· find joy, think soundly, and live with courage

The road to wholeness and lasting healing isn't found in culture's constantly changing map. It's found in the quiet, narrow path of true peace and transformation.

My Review:

I like this book. Being strong in mental health and experiencing true joy requires we understand who we are, Arnold writes. She takes us through the process while sharing from her own experiences. Each chapter contains practical exercises and insightful activities. I like how she encourages us to find our identity in God. She also has good insights on the role of shame. I appreciate her helping us experience hurt and then helping us re-frame it.

This is a good book to help work through rejection and other issues to become the person God has created you to be.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
