In this provocative and inspiring book, David Richo distills thirty years of experience as a therapist to explain the underlying roots of unhappiness--and the surprising secret to finding freedom and fulfillment. <p/>There are certain facts of life that we cannot change--the unavoidable givens of human existence: (1) everything changes and ends, (2) things do not always go according to plan, (3) life is not always fair, (4) pain is a part of life, and (5) people are not loving and loyal all the time. Richo shows us that by dropping our deep-seated resistance to these givens, we can find liberation and discover the true richness that life has to offer. <p/>Blending Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, including practical exercises, Richo shows us how to open up to our lives--including what is frightening, painful, or disappointing--and discover our greatest gifts.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A lucid, thought-provoking, and illuminating book about the realities of human existence--a wonderfully useful guide to fluid acceptance of life as it is."--Martha Beck, author of <i>Finding Your Own North Star </i> and <i>The Joy Diet </i> <p/>"I started highlighting splendid passages in this book and my highlighter ran dry.
