For a happy and healthy life, you need to find balance

Finding contentment and happiness in life has nothing to do with becoming lost in life’s challenges; it’s about understanding the careful balance between positive and negative.

Gaur Gopal Das shares his secrets for enlightenment and a higher spirituality, but much of it is achieved simply by understanding and striving for balance. Gaur Gopal Das compares the struggle to experiencing the Indian monsoon. It can bring some of the heaviest rains you’ll ever see, but you can choose to stand there and get wet or allow the natural showers to refresh and bring you peace. Life isn’t about avoiding the different challenges that come our way, but it’s about working through those challenges by focusing on the positive and good.
You might think that the latest iPhone will make you happy or that a fancy car will bring fulfillment, but true happiness has nothing to do with items you can buy.
Additionally, Gaur Gopal Das tells the story of a journey through the heavy traffic of Mumbai with his friend Harry by his side. Harry is a hugely successful man, having attended Harvard and is now the director of a vast business. Although Harry has a beautiful wife and owns a lovely home and a fancy car, he isn’t happy or fulfilled and often feels stuck. Gaur Gopal Das explores the fact that the people who have the most material goods and achievements are often the ones who are less satisfied with their lot.
Focusing on balance and inner peace is far more important than owning the latest trends.
This summary will not only open your eyes to a way of life you’ve been missing for so long but will also help you discover a new and exciting way forward.

We should never underestimate the importance of gratitude

Understanding and embracing gratitude is essential to living a happy and fulfilled life. One way to do that is to see the positives in every situation as much as possible. While some cases seem hopeless, there is always something to be grateful for if you look hard enough. Finding that detail will help you to become a more positive person overall.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
