Most of us live in an endless race for achievements, chasing more and more of everything. In that constant rush, we don't take time to enjoy life, which passes by. What we need is to slow down and make things simpler. We need to reexamine, organize, and declutter everything in our lives - from our home to our habits to our company to work to hobbies - everything. We need to purge and declutter mind, declutter stuff, declutter our home, find out what is serving us, and toss away everything else.

Response vs. reaction. To be frank, mindset is everything. We cannot change a person. We often cannot change a situation. We can change how we respond. We can learn to use positive words and act out of our hearts rather than react with hurt or anger. When we stop focusing on problems solutions tend to appear. Happy mind, happy life. If we change how we respond to external stimuli, our mindset follows. Organized around 12 very simple steps, this book gives listeners the tools to find a positive, peaceful response to every curveball life throws at us.

Not as patient as you think you are? Surprised by how quickly you lose your cool when someone shows you an imagined show of disrespect? All we can do in those situations is react.

Often we know what’s wrong in our behavior, we even know how could we fix it, but somehow we never take action to change. Some mental triggers stay hidden from our conscious mind. This book bridges the gap between those two by introducing you to gears of human behavior.
