New book "Maximize Life by Living for Peace, Harmony, and Joy" is easy to read and offers real life solutions!

The themes tackled in "Maximize Life by Living for Peace, Harmony, and Joy" include: living in the moment; success and failure; thoughts we live with that perpetuate suffering; attitude; living simple in a complex world; dreams and reality; stress; letting go of bad habits; finding love of self and others; finding happiness and calmness; tools to use to turn unhappiness into joy; resolving conflict.

“To live in the moment” is the watchword of the day, yet no one I’d talked to and nothing I’d read helped me to really understand what this means, and how to apply it to my everyday life, as completely as “Maximize Life by Living for Peace, Harmony, and Joy”. This very welcoming book asks readers to participate on every page – to plumb their past and look ahead to their future. Along the way, you discover what it means to be present in your life, and to appreciate it. I’ll always be grateful for the gift of this book.”

“Dr. Robert Schram has written a spiritual and deeply personal book. In this wonderful book he describes his life’s journey and shares with us the elements that has shaped his life and helped him discover peace and harmony. In each of his 152 chapters, two pages in length, he points out one way to achieve the spirituality, harmony and joy that he himself has found so meaningful. Each chapter is organized with a description of the theme/concept followed by an open description of his personal experience in relation to the theme. This is shared with the reader graced by his great sense of humility and insight, modeling for readers whom he invites to write their own stories beneath. As a reader, it was difficult for me to resist plunging in and sharing my own story. By the time readers complete the last chapter, they no longer are the same as when they started and they have a record of their journey. This gem of a book is a real find.”
