Why is it that despite our best efforts, many of us remain fundamentally unhappy and unfulfilled in our lives? In this provocative and inspiring audiobook, David Richo distills 30 years of experience as a therapist to explain the underlying roots of unhappiness - and the surprising secret to finding freedom and fulfillment. 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. Blending Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, including practical exercises, Richo shows us how to open up to our lives - including to what is frightening, painful, or disappointing - and discover our greatest gifts.

This title has great perspective to the happenings of life to my opinion.

There was pure synchronicity to the comprehension and practices as I grow through my human experience.

I would not introduce this book to debate someone's practice and beliefs, although I would recommend it as a tool to aide anyone ready to perceive and accept life that be.

A Great Read

Very powerful and enlightening. Tom was hard for me to hear at times so I will have to listen to it again to catch the things I missed.

This book spoke deeply to me. I am going to listen to this several more times. If I can internalize even just a fragment of some of the wisdom and put it into practice every day I will be a better person in this world.

I love audible! This book is one to listen to, especially if you want to be enlightened by reality. The writer tells it like it is no fluff, but some hard-core information to be used for a lifetime!

Very relaxing to hear.

This book is a must listen for anyone who genuinely wants to be happy despite the hardships of life that we all face. I believe that we all have a choice to either be a victim or a victor and sometimes it as simple as reframing the situation or choosing to be your highest, even when the situation is at its lowest. This book was easy to understand, and the skills laid out are genuinely applicable to any life circumstance. I have been through some very painful moments in life, and this book encouraged me to move through the dark instead of trying to avoid it.

Practical support for having a more positive outlook on difficult circumstances.
