Publisher's summary

"I just want to be happy," a simple goal expressed as though it were the very least we could expect of life. Some phrase it differently, and some attach requirement or specifics to the statement by pre-deciding how happiness must be packaged. Nonetheless it sounds so reasonable an expectation and yet for some reason so many people spend an entire lifetime unable to reach or even discover the first step on the path to this universal desire. Many believe that this illusive state would be possible if they could only win the lottery, inherit great wealth or even perhaps meet the man or woman of their dreams. Essential we all make the same mistake, the assumption that happiness is out there somewhere for us to stumble upon. Happiness is incorrectly seen as a destination that once reached dissolves the suffering and worry of life into the ether forever more.

Happiness is indeed a simple request but most assume it is hidden and only the very few are fortunate enough to discover the treasure map that leads to its secret location. Swallow The Happy Pill will show you that you not already own the map but you are currently standing right on top of the big red X that marks the spot of that buried treasure you crave so much. Discover:

  • How to manifest your dreams
  • The secrets to perfect self-esteem and confidence
  • Stop anxiety and depression before it starts
  • The quite route to freedom and peace of mind
  • How to get every prayer answered every time

The amazing secrets revealed in Swallow The Happy Pill will change how you think about everything; it will shatter your beliefs and dramatically transform your life. This may be one of the most significant books you ever buy.

Another Winner!

Would you consider the audio edition of Swallow The Happy Pill to be better than the print version?

Craig Beck is good at narrating his own books with his British accent and enthusiasm, that you can not help but love listening to him!

What other book might you compare Swallow The Happy Pill to and why?

I've listened to a lot of Craig Beck's books such as "Alcohol Lied to Me", "The God Enigma"and "The Hynotic Salesman", and they all carry very spiritual messages about life, God and happiness! Craig has a way with words and he really gets me thinking! The general message that he conveys in all four of these books is that happiness resides within and that we all have the answers right here and now!

What about Craig Beck’s performance did you like?

I think that Craig just has natural enthusiasm and excitement for his ideas on life, and this is reflected in his performance.

Any additional comments?

I do love Craig Beck's books on audible and listen to them over & over again with my friends. His books spark some interesting debate! I have also referenced Craig at my meetings and have got quite a few laughs! I don't always agree with him, but he always make me think!

Great Read

An amazing book with great insights into what happiness is and how we must learn to strive for it. I wish he would have taken a step by step method in explaining how to achieve his concepts. The book actually never got there in my opinion.

A thought-provoking approach to abstract topics

If you could sum up Swallow The Happy Pill in three words, what would they be?

"Happiness is a choice" (author's words). I "tend to agree" (my words).

What did you like best about this story?

That my happiness should not be dependent upon group conformance or other people's expectations. That's not an excuse to be callous or withdrawn, but rather to realize that my own emotional well-being cannot be tied to the acceptance of me by other people.

What aspect of Craig Beck’s performance would you have changed?

I have two other titles from Craig Beck and there is some obvious duplication. Repetitive concepts are OK, but using the same illustrative analogies can be tedious for the listener. Since the author has to provide context, I skip through the spots that I've heard before. That's my reason for a three star rating on performance. As a narrator, Craig Beck is very enjoyable to listen to, has a fast pace, and the British accent is a nice touch.

What did you learn from Swallow The Happy Pill that you would use in your daily life?

Happiness comes from the inside, and the quest for status, money, or other forms of recognition are only temporary forms of pleasure or satisfaction. I need to be happy now, and not wait for some condition or other external dependency. It's all about perspective.

Any additional comments?

There are a couple of reviewers that were somewhat offended because the author tends to question religious dogma. This is true, but it's not limited to a single religion and he spends as much time examining atheism as with Christianity. But if you have a very strong personal belief system, and cannot get past some reasonably objective criticism (of all faiths) then you would probably be happier with a different selection.

Incredible book merging the best ideas of many aut

The first thing I realized when I started listening to this book was that it was different from most other self-help change your mindset book. I have heard the main points the author expresses somewhere else but he is able to put it all in a new perspective. Even if you listen to NLP books, the power of your subconscious mind and from authors like Abraham-hicks, you should pick this book up.
Why “the secret” never worked? It’s because you can’t fool your subconscious mind into believing something unless it already believes in it. All the suffering is ego created, a beast that lives in the past or in the future completely ignoring the now. Live the now, the past is gone, and the future does not exists.
Have fun

Very Enlightening and Brilliant Author/Narrator

Would you listen to Swallow The Happy Pill again? Why?

I've listened to Swallow the Happy Pill several times. Still listening to it in between other audio books by Craig Beck. And when I do listen to it over again, there seems to be something new I pick up that I didn't hear the first time. Or the content will have new meaning as I evolve towards enlightenment through this audio book and other resources with a similar nature of peace within our subconscious. Excellent bool.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Swallow The Happy Pill?

Identifying that Happiness arises with less of the material things and more within yourself.

What about Craig Beck’s performance did you like?

I just love his voice. I listen to his audio books before bed and he occurs for me as strong, well educated, and speaking to principals of how our brains work that are materializing on a global scale. I definitely want to be on board this train.

Any additional comments?

If you are hesitant about buying any of Craig Beck's books or audiotapes, just do it. You will gain insight that will allow for Happiness to shine through on multiple levels.

Extremely interesting

Where does Swallow The Happy Pill rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have only listened to a few audio books so far but I really enjoyed this book. Craig really opens your mind to wha tis possible. Of course you have to buy into it, which I have. Love the guy!

What did you like best about this story?

Whati liked best is letting go of it all and starting fresh. I want to start prioritizing my life a little better and Craig has done this for me.

Have you listened to any of Craig Beck’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I have listened to three books so far. Craig overlaps his message in his books but it must be important because I have heard similar takes in all three books. Checkit out your going to really enjoy the books.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extremes but more just opening the mind and seeing what's possible. Thank you Craig for writing these books I know they will help me with my sales career.

This sounds credible.

What did you love best about Swallow The Happy Pill?

The authors credible way of presenting his story. No 'mystical' psycho/spiritual babble. I have listened to several books on the same general theme but always get 'put off' by to much 'vanilla' and what seems to me 'unreality'.








Who was your favorite character and why?

The author. He shared some of his own personal life/story. But not to much and always in context. I turn of many 'spiels' when I have to meet the kids, the wife etc, with the obvious intention to of selling me on the author or product. I switch of then.

Have you listened to any of Craig Beck’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Listen to several, I especially like 'Alcohol Lied to me". It's priceless. They are all good and enjoyable to listen to.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Swallow The Happy Pill?

Many. Craig showed me the way to practice much of what I already knew.

Any additional comments?

No BS. He deserves to make a bundle and he is not shy about it....credible.
