Contentment A Way to True Happiness: A Way to True Happiness

In these chaotic times, lasting happiness can seem elusive.Acclaimed Jungian psychologist Robert A. Johnson and co-author and psychotherapist Jerry M. Ruhl offer a welcome respite from the media hype and rampant consumerism that do so little to advance happiness and so much to obscure it.Instead of relegating contentment to another time, a different place, a better circumstance ("as soon as I finish this project/land that perfect job/find a new relationship"), the authors encourage us to successfully negotiate and embrace "what is". Instructive and wise, this gentle guide contains all the tools we need - including illustrative stories, myths, and poems, along with practical exercises - to seize true contentment in the here and now.
