The founder of the Good Mood Foundation, Mike Attar, has written an inspiring book entitled My Pursuit of a Good Mood and a very generous supporter has printed 10,000 copies so that the book may be given away for free. We are distributing the book through via a “grass roots” effort.  Since  everyone knows  or  will  know  a  friend,  loved  one  or  family  member  who  has  a  mood struggle. It is  just a matter of  making this  ministry known, and then  saying,  “We will  give  you as many  copies of Mike’s book as  you can give-away  to  those who might  benefit.”

My Pursuit of a Good Mood.

I have been asked many times, “Mike, if you only had a sixty second ‘elevator ride’ to explain this book and your ministry. What would you tell me?’” I would respond with the following:

In this book, I tackle a difficult subject—mood struggles.  Mood struggles can range from simple struggles that everyone experiences from time-to-time all the way to a diagnosed mental illness.

Mood struggles can seriously impact every area of a person’s life, including family, personal, and work. This book addresses my personal experiences with the full range of mood struggles, including the diagnosis of bipolar disorder—a mental illness. This book also provides insights and useful resources for coping and better understanding anyone you know who has mood struggles.

Please keep in this mind, no matter what your struggles, the goal shouldn’t simply be healing.  Though for some, God may heal. Rather the goal is holiness. The goal is to be transformed into the likeness of God’s Son Jesus Christ.  My life’s journey in pursuit of a good mood has convinced me that anyone can live a life that honors God, His Word, and His ways—no matter what challenges or illness comes your way. One of the greatest blessings from this renewed thinking is my prayer for you. That you will find purpose, meaning, and direction through the struggle.

At the end of this book, I will share with you the ministry my struggle has produced—the Good Mood Foundation. Part of God’s vision for this ministry is to give this book away for free in order to reach as many as people as possible who have mood struggles. Through my story and ministry, I am seeking to lead people to the God of the Bible—the only True Source of hope!

I admire courage anytime and anywhere I see it.  The ability to “take it on the chin,” and get up and go on, is commendable always. Add to that an honest and inquiring mind and a heart ready and willing to make changes and restitution. Then move over—something’s going to happen.

Here is a book unlike most you have read. While you can learn about mood struggles, including depression, and mental illness from many clinical journals, few people have the courage and candor to take you there in person. Mike Attar does just that. In the 28 plus years since I met Mike, I have watched him grow and prosper on his physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual journey. I applaud his latest efforts and Good Mood Foundation he has formed. May this book and everything he does be a help and encouragement to many others who feel trapped by the walls of any type of mood struggles. There is a way forward. Mike, keep leading the way.
