Some of the topics of the book include the ""Golden Rule"" and the ""Silver Rule"" and how they can bring you happiness, the importance of being humble instead of arrogant and how doing that will make you more successful, the importance of choosing good thoughts, good words, and good actions instead of bad ones, the importance of kindness, compassion, and love for all others and how doing that will bring you happiness and good friendships, the importance of forgiveness and forgiving others for your own peace of mind, why not to worry, the importance of following your passion/calling/mission/life's purpose, why having wealth and lots of money is very overrated, how to become healthy by prayer and by eating the right diet, how to live so that you ensure that you go to heaven and not hell after you pass away, the teachings of the Holy Bible, the Noble Qur'an (Koran), The Book of Mormon, and Buddhist texts and other spiritual & religious texts on how to achieve happiness and success, and, finally, the importance of tithing (giving 10% of your money to the poor) without letting anyone else know about it and how that will greatly improve your financial situation and bring you happiness, and much more! Here's a book excerpt: The Golden Rule The Golden Rule is the foundation of the message of the great religions. The Golden Rule is found in every major religion that exists in the world. It is one of the foundations of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. ""Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"" - or ""Treat others the way you want to be treated"". Later in this book, I will explain why this is the formula for human happiness and success. In addition to the Golden Rule, there is also the 'Silver Rule' which states the Golden Rule in the negative: ""Do not do unto others what you don't want to have done unto you."" Here is the Golden Rule (and the Silver Rule) as they appear in all the world's major religions: Do unto others as you would have them do to you. - Christianity Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful. - Buddhism Harm no other beings. They are just your brothers and sisters. - Buddhism Do good to others as you would like good to be done to you. - Islam (4th Caliph and 1st Imam) What is hateful to you, do not do unto your fellow man. That is the entire law; all the rest is commentary. - Judaism ""A man should wander about treating all creatures in the world as he himself would be treated."" - Jainism ""Men gifted with intelligence and purified souls should always treat others as they themselves wish to be treated."" - Hindu Mahabharata Surely it is the maxim of loving-kindness: Do not do unto others what you would not want to have done unto you. - Confucianism ""Philosophers have been speculating on the rules of human relationships for thousands of years, and out of all that speculation, there has evolved only one important precept. It is not new. It is as old as history. Zoroaster taught it to his followers in Persia twenty-five hundred years ago. Confucius preached it in China twenty-four centuries ago. Lao-Tsu, the founder of Taoism, taught it to his disciples in the Valley of the Han. Buddha preached it on the bank of the Holy Ganges five hundred years before Christ. The sacred books of Hinduism taught it a thousand years before that. Jesus taught it among the stony hills of Judea nineteen centuries ago. He summed it up in one thought- probably the most important rule in the world: ""Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.""""
