Spiritual Wisdom for a Happier Life: How Your 8 Key Emotions Can Work for You is a delightful Christian self-help book by psychologist Mark W. Baker. The author shows how people can better thrive in life as he explores how to deal with the emotions of hurt and suffering, guilt and shame, anger, anxiety, sorrow, fear, happiness, and love.

Spiritual Wisdom for a Happier life is a great book for those who enjoy both psychology and theology. Baker writes thoughtfully, covering his subject matters in depth. Though the content of the book is informative from a psychological standpoint, Baker wonderfully incorporates the message of God’s grace and love into the book. I liked how Baker sometimes used stories of real people to illustrate his points; the stories gave the book a warm and personal feel.
