Book Description
This is not a cookbook! You Can Do This! Cooking Up a Happier You for You and Yours is instead a self-help guide to happiness. "This book is a sort of Self-Confidence 101," says author Jim Te Selle. When his life was at its lowest, he came up with a plan to get it back on track. In his own words: "This is a product of what I had to learn in order to get my life squared away. I woke up one morning in a treatment center. My wife had left me. I was almost broke and was raising twin boys by myself. I couldn't believe it.

If your life isn't going quite the way you'd like it, if your dream seems out of reach, don't worry. "I had to learn to believe in myself. This book offers one way to do that. "You can do this!"
