“Happiness is a wonderful feeling. It makes you feel good in any situation. It gives you hope in times of despair. It makes you feel peace in aworld of turmoil. I want you to be happy anytime you wish it. To do that, you are invited to travel and learn with David, a young Lakota Indian who learned the secret of being happy. . . .” In this Native American allegory, a young Lakota boy named David is despondent over the death of his sister and fears that he will never know happiness again. His father gives him a gift, a scroll with seven pictures, which properly understood, hold the keys to self-understanding. In an entertaining and deeply moving way, Lessons of a Lakota blends traditional Native American beliefs in meditation, dreams, and respect for the harmony and balance of nature, with more modern principles such as positive thinking and self-awareness. This book will teach you about yourself, show you what it means to be happy, and lead you on your own personal journey to inner peace.
