If all of us want to be happy, why in the heck aren’t we?

In Goddesses Are Happy (part of The Goddess Guides to Being A Woman self-help series), International Bestselling Author Ava Miles cuts to the chase on all the reasons most of us find it so challenging to be happy—most of the time.

Most of us have realized positive thinking just isn’t enough to creating a happy life. Ava asserts it’s a choice—every day—even on the ones that suck. But there’s more goddess women can do.

Ava walks us through creating internal resiliencies to the things that trigger us out of our naturally happy place. “Think of it like creating thicker skin to all the crap that sucks all the joy out of our lives,” she says. Goddess women know what pops them out of their happy place. But they also know how to create happy moments in tough times.

This guide is for:

Find your inner happy place as a goddess woman. Start enjoying life!

Wait… The following are some “important” questions readers have had about this series.

What’s the full scoop on this series?

Ava: It’s everything I wish someone would have told me about being a happy, empowered woman on my own terms. I spent years struggling, trying to figure all this stuff out. I tackle the issues that trip women up: sex, relationships and family, money and personal success, body image, eating, self-expression, personal power, happiness, and fear. The Goddess Guides to Being a Woman encourage women of all ages to unleash their true goddess nature.

“Unleash my goddess nature?” Isn’t that a little scary?

Ava: Aren’t you tired of being told what a woman should act like, think like, look like? Aren’t you tired of feeling like you’re always falling short and chasing your tail? To quote myself: "It's time to live a happy and abundant life on our own terms, not anyone else's.” These guides help each woman decide for herself what that goddess-woman life looks like and tap into her happy, power-packed goddess nature.

Am I really going to transform into a goddess if I read these guides?

Ava: That’s up to you, Young Skywalker. But I sense the force is strong with you.

Is this one of those self-important, serious motivational books?

Ava: What do you think? I just made a Star Wars reference. Wonder Woman probably would have been more appropriate, right?

How long are the books? I mean, I don’t have all day.

Ava: These are a short, life-changing books designed for busy women.

Is there an order to the series?

Ava: Nope. You decide which topics appeal to you and what order to read in.

Can men read these guides too?

Ava: Sure. Some of the information is geared towards women, but there’s a lot in the guides for everyone walking around on two legs, men included. I mean, don’t they want to be happy and empowered too?

What about some of the (ahem) words you use in the titles? Cock? Motherf*cker?

Ava: What can I say? The titles kinda wrote themselves, but they make the point about goddess women being free from shame when it comes to self-expression. Use them, don’t use them—it’s your choice.

Are these like Ava’s other bestselling series?

Ava: No, these are non-fiction, but some of the guides contain short fictional stories to make key points.

Wait…Ava writes fiction too?

Ava: Yes, and those stories are chock full of empowering messages for women (and men) too along with a lot of laughs.

Who would you say you’re most like? I’ve never heard of you.

Ava: Being a goddess woman, I’d like to say I’m just me, but how about a cross between Erma Bombeck and Deepak Chopra? Just kidding. You’ll have to decide.

Where do I find out more about all this goddess stuff?
