This book is quite simply food for the soul.
Who should read this book? Anyone walking a spiritual path will find it immensely helpful. Those who want to make a shift from being a victim to being victorious, from being out of control to choosing the kind of life you want to experience will benefit from this book. If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, this book might be of help to you. If you’ve worked at manifesting what you desire but just don’t quite make it, this book may put that last piece in the manifesting puzzle for you.
A New Language for Life, reveals what you always knew, but simply have forgotten. In Koster’s words “A New Language for Life is the language of being, the language of the invisible world–our spiritual world. It is a language of presence, allowing, and oneness. A New Language for Life restores us to making the distinction between the language of “I” and the language of being. Not making this distinction leads to a wonderful confusion of the mind and keeps us trapped in a perpetual cycle of struggle and suffering–the human condition.”

Koster provides practical steps, relevant examples from his own life, and questions that enable the individual to identify how and whether the change he describes is occurring. It’s all incredibly simple to understand, but requires a real commitment to achieve. Still, who among us would not welcome more happiness into his or her life?
It’s little surprise that a recognized humanitarian like Koster would bring his message of acceptance and gratitude to the world. What is amazing is how he has managed to boil down his message to its essence, providing simple yet effective steps to achieve such change. Anyone who wants more peace and joy from life has much to gain from Louis Koster’s “A New Language for Life: Happy No Matter What!”

A New Language for Life: Happy No Matter What” is a book to savor and spend time with as it helps you shape the rest of your life as your authentic self, when you choose to dwell in the space of fulfillment of your intentions.
Indeed, we can be happy, no matter what, only if we are able to transcend the limits of language and grow into a life of integrity. Dr. Koster helps us understand how to acquire a life in which we trust ourselves and enjoy a more fulfilled life in alignment with the natural world in a language that supports us–a language of “being and synchronicity.” We learn the harsh realities of our birth language, which fails to allow us to recognize we do have choices beyond others’ expectations of us.

Imagine for a moment if you were less affected, less stressed out, by the inner and external voices describing some past or present failure on the part of anyone or even you! It might be an external failure and it might be an inner weakness. Louis Koster has written a book in which he states it’s a choice to confirm these lies in speech and thought, thereby cementing their disastrous outcomes and perpetuating a similar run into the future. Or what about if you could come to a point where you truly knew there is nothing to fear but fear itself? Louis Koster proposes some credible strategies that he claims will lead you to precisely what he claims in the title – a new language that guarantees happiness and peace at all times. He insists – Break the cycle and live a new language for life!

“As a counselor for job seekers, I can attest to the significance of developing the traits Koster recommends. Those who develop those traits, who have made The Choice, are far more likely to succeed at whatever they undertake. They will have a higher level of integrity and responsibility that inevitably affects those around them. Koster believes that we must evolve with the times, and learn to speak a new language that suits the new age we are entering. His book is an inspirational and practical guide through that process. As the author states, “A New Language for Life will make it clear how we can make the most of the future.”

“This not one of these jolly, self-serving, fix-yourself type books. Instead, with great care and infinite understanding, Koster sets forth to explain and encourage. Some of his viewpoints are so glaringly reasonable that you feel like the vegetable juice ad, wanting to thump yourself on the forehead for not ‘getting it’ sooner!
An excellent appendix rounds off this satisfying read – a list to help you Shift your Language, a written portrait of what your life might look like once the new language is in place. All eminently readable, helping us create for ourselves a vision of our personal happiness that is internal, absolute and eternal. It really isn’t complicated; particularly the way Koster sets it before us, a cornucopia of ideas that will help shift your choices, your insights, and the way you will want to move forward to claim your own happiness!”

Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (out of Five)“Dr. Koster challenges us to make the choice of being committed to being happy, fulfilled, and satisfied, no matter what the circumstances of our lives. He sees the path of history and civilization leading to a time when we must be whole as ourselves, integrate with our fellow men, and move to the next higher level of being. `Just BEING liberates the human spirit. When you move away from always striving and wanting, you become free to BE.’ Throughout his book he references personal experiences with his travels with Doctors without Borders’ and his sharing of his medical knowledge by being a physician to those who are in need. There is no set of charts in this book, lessons we must check off as having memorized, exercises or foods we must absorb in order to follow his example. He only encourages us to make the choice to be who we are.”Read the full review

…If you feel unhappy and unfulfilled, Koster’s A New Language For Life is for you…
“According to Koster, one of the reasons people don’t believe in themselves has a lot do with the way they use language and how they experience themselves through the language that negatively shapes their lives. Most of us are filled with negativity. We always tend to define ourselves in terms of what we don’t have and can’t achieve. We don’t have confidence in ourselves and in our own abilities. We constantly put ourselves down. How many times have you heard yourself say, “No, I just can’t do this!” Most of us keep reiterating such negative messages constantly to ourselves day in and day out.
The good news is that we can change our view of ourselves by making a commitment to be happy, fulfilled and content, no matter what our circumstances. This commitment allows us to change our view of ourselves from negative to positive. We will start experiencing life in a new way. This commitment can bring us to a place where we could experience an authentic freedom to be. We will no longer feel entrapped in negative language. Instead, we will develop a new language for life. And this new language can open us up to a fulfilled and happy life. What a blessing this new language can be!”

Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (out of Five)“A New Language for Life: Happy No Matter What” is a book that you will not be able to put down! I had the good fortune to meet Dr. Koster, “Louie”, and spend a great deal of time discussing life and our passions. Dr. Koster’s life story and inspirations are words to live by. We are the captain of our own destiny! Dr. Koster teaches eloquently through his own life story that we create our own life entrapments and when we choose to free ourselves through our passions we then truly live life as are authentic selves! Living life passionately helps you shape the rest of your life as your authentic self, when you choose to live life in a place of fulfillment of your passions.Read full review
