In 'Happiness Becomes You', Tina shares a deeply intimate insight into her life and spiritual journey. It is a tapestry of life lessons and practical tips woven together from Tina's 80+ years on the planet and 50 years as a Buddhist. I planned to read just the first chapter and leave the rest till later, but found myself drawn so deeply into its message that I read it in one sitting and will return to reread many chapters. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the conscious and subconscious minds, improving your mindset, Buddhism, overcoming hardship and in mastering your own potential. It is an eloquent and concise guide for living, on how to turn poison into medicine.

As a fairly new Nichiren Buddhist, I am always actively looking for material that breaks down the concepts and meaning behind chanting Nam-Myoho-Remge-Kyo in the simplest way possible. This book delivers that and MORE! I love how she uses examples from her life to show specific ways in the which chanting can empower you. At the end of the day you still must believe in your heart that something is changing for change to actually occur. This book has given me more hope and courage to see what having true faith can do. Not faith in the words per se, or faith in some outside thing that will appear, but faith that something is inside of me will come forth by chanting the words. By staying faithful to the idea that this something wants to comes forth and I am not creating it versus I am removing the things that has caused blockage to it, meaning it already exist within me. That is powerful, the idea that we were born capable already. I love the idea of this especially coming from a "pray about it" upbringing- as I've always felt a disconnect with being told to do that, like oh...just pray and then things will magically occur? And though prayer is still apart of chanting in many ways, you are praying from your inner self to be courageous enough to bring it out, to help it shine. The very act of chanting is not a simple repetition of words and sounds, it takes effort. The longer you chant (I'm up to an hour per sitting-2x a day), you realize that you are doing something that takes TIME and ENERGY to do. I'm like well if I'm chanting all this time, I might as well try and do the other things I have on my to-do list too. LOL. Even if you never decide to chant a day in your life, this book still has a lot of positivity and motivation on every page. I have already mailed it to two friends and will be giving a few family members it as a Christmas gift. This book is changing my life. And I am going to reread it soon! Hey and at the end of the day....You can always return it! 🤷🏾♀️

Happiness Becomes You has become the paper I go to when I need to ask questions, questions that I didn't even know that could be asked. By reading this book I've been asked as well. Sometimes it has also given me the answer, but what I really like the most is having the opportunity to be asked, it gives me the strength to go look inside, get inside me and listen. Listen to my own heart, my soul, myself. Happiness Becomes You is a guidance, a light. It has given me a purpose and silence. Silence to hear my own voice. What's even crazier? I'm not a Buddhist, I don’t know if I will be. I don't need to become Buddhist to understand what it is written here. I don't need to be a Tina fan to understand this. I just need to be me, accept me, listen to me and look forward... You just need to follow whatever you may consider inspires or impulses you to read this book. "Go beyond fear. Beyond", that's all you need to do. 💛 Happiness Becomes You is a complete life changing experience. This is a book not only to read, but to analyze and reflect as well. My book is absolutely filled with posits everywhere. Many of the things I’ve done in my life are even been told in this book; the way Tina and coauthors explain every little topic, aspect, theory, truth, is simply amazing! I remember when Tina arrived into my life, it was a complete life changing experience too. I didn’t ask for her and she just arrived. She gave a voice to my heart and soul’s desire. Then, this book came and now I can actually give a name to whatever I’ve faced before. Now, I have a lotus flower tattooed on my left wrist. I did it not only because it’s beautiful, but also because it is a continuing reminder of what I’m looking for: peace; love. Inner peace, inner love. Shared peace, shared love. When I see my lotus flower tattoo, I see myself, I see the long-lasting connection I will forever have -in all lives- with my mom, my dad and my sister. I see myself in that lotus flower. I see Tina herself, her teachings, her voice, her soul that is a reminder of the soul we all ARE, not have. I see all of that on a flower that was given to me through this book. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Regula Curti, Taro Gold and Tina Turner. You have no idea of what you’ve done in me. Thank you for giving to this moment of my life not only a voice, but an explanation, a purpose… a reason. Thank you all SO much! Adrianka Arvelo.
