In his formative years, author Frank Miranda was exposed to a negative, ignorant, judgmental, and at times, hostile environment where prejudice was rampant. He had become that which had influenced him in terms of how he saw everything. In Waking to a Happy, Fulfilled Life, Miranda shares how he changed his life—how he turned negativity to positivity; ignorance to intelligence and wisdom; judgment to nonjudgment; prejudice to acceptance and seeing everyone as the same; and anger to love. In this combination memoir and inspirational testament, Miranda recounts his enlightening journey that has allowed him to be a good, loving, happy, patient, faithful, and productive human being. After conducting years of research in psychology, science, and religion, he discovered these attributes correlate with one another, and he’s convinced we live in a world of all possibilities. Waking to a Happy, Fulfilled Life recounts how Miranda, who grew up in a dysfunctional home, overcame all of the challenges and obstacles. He illustrates how anyone can change his or her life for the better and evolve to their divine purpose.
