WOKINI, translated from Lakota, means "New life, a life of peace and happiness." This book teaches you about yourself, shows you what it means to be happy, and leads you on your own personal journey to feel more satisfied in your life. This book blends traditional Native American beliefs (which rely on meditation, thoughts, dreams, and love of nature's beauty) with modern therapeutic principles (positive thinking and an understanding of happiness) and is already helping hundreds of thousands of people across the country. In 1964, Billy Mills shocked the world with a victory in the 10,000 meter run at the Tokyo Olympics but what made him a champion was his early life, On South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Billy learned what makes a champion: persistence, strength, hard work, practice -- and especially inner peace and confidence.. In this book, Billy shares secrets of self-understanding and happiness, traditional Indian beliefs and legends, and how to be happy.
