Reading “Take a Shot at Happiness” by Maria Baltazzi felt like having a heart-to-heart conversation with her. Her blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice struck a chord with me. Maria’s transformative experiences and global travels are inspiring, and seeing them beautifully woven into this book was a delight. What stood out most was how open and honest she was in her writing. She breaks down happiness into specific, actionable buckets: faith, love, health, gratitude, forgiveness, peace, detachment, and abundance. Each section offers profound insights and practical steps, and using her own life experiences as a thread, helped me look at my own life through a different lens. An enjoyable and thought provoking read.
