Follow Your Heart: 21 Days to a Happier, More Fulfilling Life

I've been reading articles from Henri Junttila for a while now so I'm a big fan of his work.This includes I'm familiar with his blog and some of his online trainings and I have to say reading this particular book "Follow Your Heart" made me learn a lot more about myself and taught me how to be aware of my current position and situation in life.The book is an easy read although I've read it all in two sittings because I didn't want to speed read it, I actually took the time for things to sink in and I'm glad I did.At first I thought the book was going to be all about meditation (which I'm not too fond of) but that's only the Chapter 1 (or "Day 1" as Henri calls them) I even tried the suggested meditation exercise at the end and it felt weird (again I don't meditate) but good at the same time.There are 21 chapters in total and at the end of each chapter, there are three "heart based" actions that will put what you've just read to the test.Even though it feels like a "Life is good and nothing is bad" kind of book, Henri actually goes very deep into mental health and I loved the fact that in the latest chapters he actually shows you that relaxing and taking a step back doesn't necessarily means to not do anything about your problems but how to actually solve them by making subtle changes in your perception of things.Reading Tip:You're going to find references to "following your heart" throughout the entire book, for some people this may sound "cheesy", for some others this will be fantastic but just in case you're put off by these references I'll suggest you think about that "gut feeling" we all have or your "very inner soul" because it's the same concept only different words.Personal Gain:I've been through a lot of constant changes myself and I felt I needed to speak with someone about them, I found almost all the answers to most of my questions in this book and I also felt like Henri was speaking directly to me.This book will teach you how to deal with friendships, relationships, family, work, life, joy, mind, minimalism, stress, anxiety, anger, fears, awareness... there's a little bit of everything.Thank you Henri, I wish you and your family the very BEST in life!

I love this book because it resonated with my own personal development. It's a wonderful read for anybody because the message is universal. Fundamentally, we all have the same struggles. Ultimately, we all want the same things. And everybody wants to be happy.Every time my little girl is conflicted, I always ask her, "What is your heart saying? Do what your heart says." Her eyes would gaze to nowhere as she would try to listen to her heart. As much as I find that face always amusing, I always have to run away because I dread the follow up question, "How, mom? How do I do that?" Well, thanks to Henri Junttila's FOLLOW YOUR HEART, I now have a little bit of courage to face my daughter because I am armed with words from the book.This book will open your eyes to what we are doing to ourselves. You will see why happiness has been eluding you. Then you will realize that you do have a heart, and that you can listen to it. I've read the book three times over already (in less than 21 days I'm afraid) and each time, my connection to my heart has become more real and more strong. I've already applied some heart-based action steps in my life recently and it has incredibly helped me a lot.This is a great book to have on the shelf. I would be going back to it every so often. I would definitely buy the book version when it comes out.If you are struggling in anyway, with anything, in life, read this book.

Big fan of this author. However, I felt this might have been the least inspiring of all his books. On a positive note, it is reasonably priced and a fast read. Maybe someone else will get more value from it than I did. Not every book is for every person, but if this one helps out others in a way it didn't help out me, that would be cool.

For those of you who feel lost and need a guiding light, this book definitely provides that sense of guidance and hope that we all so desperately need at times. Through 21 chapters, Juntitila shows his readers how to let go of their fears and follow their hearts. He covers quite an array of topics, including, “Notice Your Reactions,” where he helps you not to be so quick to anger or irritation, “Open Your Heart,” where he reminds you that everyone could use a smile in their direction, “Make Right Decisions,” where he shows you how to make the right decisions thoughtfully, not on impulse, etc.The chapters are very short and easy to relate to (only 3 pages each), which made reading a breeze. It was also refreshing that the author spoke directly to the reader, not in the lecture fashion that would have turned this book sour. I definitely feel a major difference within myself after reading Follow Your Heart. I feel calmer and think more rationally about feelings when processing certain situations and if you are someone who, like me, felt lost and needed reassurance that you’re not alone, read this book. It just may give you the epiphany you’ve been searching for, because after all, what is a happy life without following your heart?

Interpreting his main message correctly might be a little tricky for some, because sometimes from some perspectives it can seem like he is telling you to put less effort in or something similar. That's not it.I have built thoughts and behaviours within myself similar to the ones recommended in this book, and my quality of life and productivity are much higher than they used to be. Give it a shot.

If you notice a dissatisfaction or any feelings of overwhelm in your life, read this book. Henri hits the nail on its head when he explains what it means to follow your heart.

I would like to describe in one word : Awesome!!!I loved every bit of it.Just smoothly flowing form start till the end ,engaging and igniting our inner spirit and reminding us of the simple principles of life which we often tend to forget in our busy lives.Henri helps the readers by sharing his personal wisdom which is really inspiring and naturally instills confidence in us to move ahead by sharing his adventurous journey of listening to the "inner heart" or "tiny whisper" or "Reconnect to Heart" or "Intuition" or whatever one would like to call it.Anyone who knows Henri for a while would easily say he is a genuine person ,with original thoughts ,who truly values his readers and amazingly delivers great information in his own simple and thought provoking style relevant to the modern time.Great work as always Henri :) !

Here’s a good crisp way to lead a more happy life.Henri has given and shown a good way to lead a happy life with containment. Hope you read it. Happy reading.
