The scriptures tell us that before we came to this world we shouted for joy at the prospect. Now that we're here, it's sometimes tempting to wonder what we were so happy about.

In Life Is Easy, I Just Decide It's hard, Dr. Gary G. Taylor outlines principles found in the scriptures that can help smooth out the inevitable challenges we all face in life. He also provides practical advice to those who suffer from what he calls the garden-variety of emotional health issues: excessive worry, unnecessary guilt, anger, blue days, procrastination, perfectionism, and the like.

Dr. Taylor reminds us that although emotional health issues cause turbulence in our ride through life, God has not left us to deal with these problems alone. As we build our emotional foundation on the teachings of Christ, and as we attempt to follow His example, we will find that we are doing those things upon which good emotional health depends. Through thoughtful discussions, insightful case studies, and an in-depth understanding of how scripture and the latter-day prophets' words relate to us, we will better understand the real-life issues that affect us all.
