Fiesta of Happiness: Be True to Yourself by David Baird, ISBN 0740735381
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover! (Two books, in this case.) Bold, vibrant, textured oilcloth-like covers are a perfect prelude to the vivacious and invigorating ideas that fill every page of these two Fiesta of Happiness books. Each page delivers a lively, paragraph-length nugget of wisdom"part peptalk, part poetry, part affirmation, part philosophical inquiry"that speaks directly to the reader. Each is a call to action, a rousing invocation to live life more fully and realize the depth of our human potential. Be True to Yourself encourages readers to celebrate uniqueness, dare to be different, make your mark, and truly value and appreciate who you are. A sample entry is titled "Join In": "The sidelines are for spectators; The real play is up there on the stage. . . . The moment you make your entranceYou"ll become part of the great drama, So big and intriguing, You"ll wonder whyYou didn"t join the cast before.
