Psychology and self-help topics started to interest me more that 30 years ago. As a child, I read every book I could find in the library or wherever, and then I summarized it in my own words. I read thousands of self-help and general psychology books in French, Arabic, and English. Human behavior fascinates and intrigues me because it can not really be quantified; it can only be interpreted. Human behavior is like art, and we all are the artists. Its study became a mission for me. Ultimately this persistence of studying human behavior led me to raise a very exciting question “Can studying human behavior as it relates to its causes, manifestations and its roots be framed logically, and can we trace the roots that are causing an abnormal/normal behavior? In other words, can we establish cause and effect between what we think, do, and what happens in our lives? Is human behavior (normal or abnormal) an acquired skill? And if so, can we change our behavior in our life to become happier and more successful? Can we regain our joy of living after we get to the edge of depression and despair? The answers are a resounding yes to all the questions. There is hope for all of us to do better and be happier, and ultimately live life with joy of living, and this is what life is about.
After decades of real life experience and theoretical and empirical research I came to the conclusion that indeed our logical mind and our behavior are interrelated and behavior affects our mind and vice-versa. My experience in life taught me that our patterns of actions and thoughts, indeed, can influence our minds, moods, feelings, and our entire psyche on one side of the same coin. On the other side of same the coin, our mind and thoughts can influence our actions and behavior when we apply our minds to effectuate and make things happen, as psychosomatic confirms this premise.
I wrote “You can Regain control of Your Life and Be Happy Again” to show you that your happiness, success, health (mental and physical), and all your well-being can be influenced positively by your thoughts and actions or inactions, by thinking and acting upon your thoughts, and ultimately you will You can Regain control of Your Life and Be Happy Again.ver menos
