When Happiness Is Not Enough
USD $19.95We all want to be happy, but happiness is an immensely complex concept and is of course not the same for everyone. Think back to the last really delicious thing you ate. Can you remember the pleasure it brought you? Compare this to the satisfaction of achieving a goal, or succeeding at something.
Renowned psychologist Chris Skellet proposes that, to live a truly fulfilling life, we must strike a balance between sensory pleasure and achievement – between appreciation of the moment and accomplishing personal goals. This fascinating book teaches you to apply this idea to your own life. You can eat your cake and keep it, too!
