BeHappy! is intended to have a profound impact on anyone's ability to be happier. Its essence is to provide the reader with: (1) a better understanding of what it takes for them to be happy, (2) important tools to increase joy, pleasure, and passion in their lives daily, and (3) the development of a long-term plan for the best life possible, with great relationships, optimal health, and minimal regrets. Primary Themes: (1) anyone can be happier than they are today if they follow the process in the book and (2) some essential elements are required for optimal happiness. BeHappy! stands apart from other books because it addresses the entire spectrum of what is required to be as happy as possible. It first establishes the reader's individual happiness definition, and then uses that foundation to build a solid emotional structure and a complete happiness plan for their lives. Volunteers who read the book during its development, and completed the process experienced a significant positive result in their lives.
“Baca writes with unconcealed passion . . . and manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythical and archetypal significance of life events.”—Denise Levertov Champion of the International Poetry Slam, winner of the Before Columbus American Book Award, the International Hispanic Heritage Award, the Pushcart Prize, and the prestigious International Award, Jimmy Santiago Baca has been writing as a mestizo (part Native American, part Mexican) and an outsider ever since he learned to read and write—in English—during a six-year Federal prison sentence when he was in his twenties. Drawing on his rich ethnic heritage and his life growing up in poverty in the Southwestern United States, Baca has a created a body of work which speaks to the disenfranchised by drawing on his experiences as a prisoner, a father, a poet, and by reflecting on the lush, and sometimes stark, landscape of the Rio Grande valley. In response to increased demand for Latino poetry in Spanish, and to thousands of Baca fans who are bilingual, this unique collection contains Spanish translations of Baca’s poetry selected from the volumes Martín and Mediations on the South Valley (1987), Black Mesa Poems (1989), Immigrants in Our Own Land (1990), Healing Earthquakes (2001), C-Train and Thirteen Mexicans (2002), Winter Poems Along the Rio Grande (2004), and Spring Poems Along the Rio Grande (2007).
