Musician releases self-help book

A local musician and life coach has released a self-help book which aimed to give readers tools to cope with everyday situations and to find true happiness in their lives.

The book entitled "The Constitution of the United States of Being" is Ms Lisa Butler's first.

Ms Butler explained that all humans were multi-faceted beings.

"We are physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, psychological," she said.

"These are our states of being and together, united, they are the expression of who we are as a whole person."

The "Constitution" is a set of statements that helped Ms Butler learn to cope with issues such as stress, depression and addiction.

It also encouraged her to move into a place of deep contentment and fulfilment that she never felt she could achieve at a younger age.

"Life never seemed very kind to me," Ms Butler said.

"I felt very lost, angry and deeply distressed, and my life was a mess for many years.

"When I was inspired to write the Constitution Statements in 1998, I began to realise that regardless of what was going on around me, there was a gentle and loving way I could maintain a sense of peace and joy in my life.

"The goal in writing the book over the past year was to share the Constitution, inspiring readers to live lives of inspiration, excitement and connection, just as I have."

"The Constitution of the United States of Bring" is now available in paperback and eBook from amazon.com.
