In this month’s Five Minute Breakdown, Sheri dives into Take a Shot at Happiness: How to Write, Direct & Produce the Life You Want by Maria Baltazzi, PhD, MFA.
Maria — an Emmy-winning producer and part of the original Survivor team — uses her filmmaking background to show how you can write, direct, and produce your own life story. The book lays out eight essentials of happiness, from faith and love to gratitude and abundance, with practical tools she calls “happiness shots.”
Sheri shares what worked, what didn’t, what critics are saying, and her own honest thoughts. No extras, no filler — just the heart of the book in under five minutes.
📌 Don’t forget: The Five Minute Breakdown is a once-a-month feature on Sherapy. Follow the podcast so you won’t miss the next one!
