The message of the book is simple and revealing: if we choose to live today, we give ourselves the chance to have a happy life.

The most rooted bias is that we are the same with what we think. Being aware of the Being behind the thought, the silence behind the sound of the mind, the love and the joy behind the pain, we come to freedom, salvation, enlightenment. At the moment when the criticism ceases, by accepting reality, we free ourselves from the mind, we make a place for love, joy, peace.
