Finding happiness can be like finding the matching sock your dryer ate long, long ago; you're sure it's there, but you just don't know where to look.
The Self-Compassion Project is the antidote to endless hours of berating yourself for not finding inner peace. You've tried meditation, self-help groups, singing bowl therapy and all that other stuff and nothing really "clicks". Instead of searching for inner peace, why not simply uncover it?
In this down-to-earth, practical and witty self-help guide, Rita Desnoyers-Garcia offers six simple steps to get to the gooey center of your soul, where you can finally relax and enjoy life. Rita's sound advice is based on years of using her techniques for herself and teaching clients how to use them. The advice Rita gives will help you:
- Become aware of when you are not being your own best friend (who else is going to love you more than you?)
- Notice what's underneath all those "negative" emotions like anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety- and understand what those emotions are telling you (it maynot be all bad!)
- Create a new outlook on life that is more positive, peaceful, and leaves you feeling more at ease with any circumstance what will come your way (Superwoman, scooch over!)
By the end of the book you'll understand why self-compassion is the key to finding your true self. It's the trick to feeling more in-tune with your HIgher Self and more aligned with the important people in your life (all 7.53 billion of them!)
Become emotionally stronger, more effective, and happier by giving yourself a break ( and reading this book)!

After encountering a brief power outage at work, college student Sara Donovan might be allowing her imagination to run wild. The main vault in the Carlton Museum holds the Fire and Ice Exhibit, a collection of rare gems, including the Star of Midnight, a 175-carat diamond. Although all the stones are accounted for, Sara suspects the Star of Midnight was stolen and replaced with a fake.
While conducting her own investigation, what Sara uncovers is beyond even her wildest imagination: a coded message, papers with strange characters, and a mysterious set of numbers carved into an office wall. Despite dismissive historians and other experts, she is certain these clues point to a mysterious centuries-old legend.
Unfortunately, her colorful history of usually being right, but always being wrong, means she must solve the mystery to prove her theory.
