Book Summary for Reviewer
Book Description:
Extraordinary joy is freedom from the roller-coaster of daily highs and lows that most of us experience. It is a state of deep satisfaction and continuous delight that comes when we really like who we are, how we live with others, and what we do in life. The key to this is Synergy: making connections that energize and inspire us beyond the ordinary. It could be a connection with our own mental, emotional, and spiritual levels or with a loving partner, a respected colleague, or a community or group. Acting in Synergy brings us to a whole new level of happiness.
Using inspirational teachings from traditional and contemporary sources, images from nature, powerful exercises, and real-life examples from retreats and workshops, Chris Alexander describes the seven steps that can put Synergy into your life. Each step yields a life lesson that allows you to break free from patterns of behavior that cause guilt, hurt, and fear.
These lessons include:
- Understanding Synergy and Making it Work for You
- Recognizing All Your Available Life Choices
- Clearing out Old Ideas That Cause You Pain
- Making Choices That Express the Needs of Your True Self
- Living up to Your Higher Purpose
- Achieving Your Goals
- Staying Connected with the Joy Youve Found
Creating Extraordinary Joy will inspire you to make choices that fulfill your deepest needs. You will learn to envision - and create - the most important sort of happiness: an immoderately, exuberantly joyful life.
The Seven Steps
to Synergy Life Mastery
Step One: Understanding Synergy teaches you the basic lesson of Synergy Life Mastery, the process that leads you to joy. Everything in life has a symbiotic relationship - joy in life is all about relationships! Understanding Synergy demonstrates the importance of having a good and loving relationship with yourself, others, and life.
Step Two: Seeing All the Choices Before You helps you look at the role of choice in your life and opens up your possibilities for making better decisions, directly multiplying your happiness. Choose to be optimistic and joyful rather than pessimistic and cynical.
Step Three: Cleansing Your Inner Ecology explains how daily life creates negative behavioral reactions and teaches you how to replace them with healthful behavioral modification. Simply; you can choose to clean up old tapes and scripts (playbacks from way back) that inhibit your success now. A vital step toward claiming your rightful inheritance - a joyful life.
