About this title: 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".

"I enjoyed the more simple suggestions in this book by Robert Johnson. It is written at a more basic level than some of his other titles I've read. He does use King Lear to illustrate how we may better find contentment with what we have and are, rather than falling victim to the more is better mentality."
"Small wonder of a book. I enjoy reading Robert Johnson - a Jungian analyst. At first this book seems a bit simple - but once he launches into King Lear - you know he's really onto something quite deep. Highly recommended for those interested in Jungian analysis or living a life of contentment. In other words, just about anyone."
