Editorial Reviews

I’ve read many books about how to find inner contentment and live in an authentic and fulfilling way, but Choose Bliss has a refreshingly lovely down-to-earth tone and I found it very appealing and immensely sensible. Well-written in an easy to read and empathetic style, the book takes us on a journey to understand our inner selves. Moneeka Sawyer's sharing of her own experiences is its strength. I think many readers will identify with the struggles the author describes, and how this led to her ability and motivation to seek out truths and meanings in life. Her resilience and determination to be herself and aim to be free from limiting self-judgement and the judgement of others inspire the reader to seek how to do the same. The strategies and methods are all very do-able and achievable. ~Hilary Hawkes for Readers’ Favorite

Bliss is a wonderful concept, but attaining a state of Bliss eludes most of us for most of our lives. Perhaps, because we mostly perceive Bliss as a lofty but largely unobtainable goal we don't even try to pursue Bliss. We plod on through life doggedly accepting that Bliss is no more than a fleeting moment here and there. Something that happens once in a while but is as unreachable as the fairy story endings of being Happy Ever After. But then, by contrast there is Moneeka's concept of Bliss, which she inscribed in my copy of Choose Bliss. “Remember, Bliss is your birthright. Live your Bliss every single day.” How radical a concept, that Bliss is and can be an everyday state of mind for each and every one of us. The only imperative to reaching a blissful state, on a daily basis is that we consciously have to choose the Blissful State of mind. Which is where Moneeka's “Choose Bliss" book is so very helpful because she guides the reader towards the daily power and practice of Joy and Contentment. She uses the narrative of her own life to show how it is possible to transform our perceptions of events from being painful to becoming a source of joy. In a very real sense these perceptions are all in our heads. The joy of this very readable book is that chapter by chapter and in a down to earth way, Moneeka explains and illustrates and provides guidance and exercises on how the reader can, in an everyday sort of a way, achieve a state of joy and contentment. Bliss isn't an esoteric state of consciousness for the select few initiates, Bliss is achievable for everybody, if we only set our minds on it and in her book, and Moneeka has shown us the way. ~Christine O'Connor (an Amazon Reader)

Sawyer is frank and fearless as she speaks of past trauma, and her strength and resilience are testimony to the effectiveness of her philosophy. I especially like the assignments she gives her readers as they hone in on the essentials of each chapter, and helps her readers to make those concepts their own. Still angry over something someone said or did all those years ago? Sawyer makes it impossibly easy to get over it and get happy instead. Choose Bliss: The Power and Practice of Joy and Contentment is highly recommended. ~Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite
