I personally prefer it as there is a lot more to learn and it will leave you feeling whole.
I would highly recommend Love & Happiness for those who do not have time to spare on Reclaim Your Heart. The previous book is definitely much, much better in terms of content depth and explanation. But we never stop to consider that our hardships are curing us. We spend so much time asking God to cure us of our hardships. Its simple and straightforward advice can lift your spirits and make you feel more composed to think through your challenging situations. You should pick it up whenever you feel down or when you’re being put to a test. I strongly feel is not meant to be read just once. The book is filled with colourful pages of calming photos/graphics which makes it a very pleasant read. But one day you will realize that it was in those moments of giving – not receiving – that you found happiness. Having read and reviewed Yasmin Mogahed’s first book – Reclaim Your Heart, I would say that this second one is more like a summary of important messages from her previous book and her videos published online. Love & Happiness was an extremely quick read – I read it in one sitting! It is a compilation of reminders and quotes for everyday struggles and challenges. I wrote because, just as we will fall in life, so will we rise. They became my deepest attempt to, not just pick myself up, but others along the way. The words found in this book became my voice and my letter to the world. And so I wrote, as I walked through my own. I wanted people to thrive inside their storms. I didn’t just want people to survive inside their storms. I wanted to give back, in hopes of helping myself and others survive.
The things I saw and learned and gained along my life path needed a voice.
Sometimes, all it took was one solid wave to destroy what I had spent years building. I’ve fallen many times chasing mirages, and broken many bones making castles in life’s fading sands. It’s hard not to give up when we face the repeated disappointments of life. Many of us know the reality of struggle, and so many people suffer in silence. Sometimes it’s hard not to let the weight of what we carry–or the memory of what we’ve lost–take over.
