Throughout her lifetime, Anthea DeVito has found happiness to be elusive, just like butterflies that are beautiful when we find them, but challenging to hold onto for forever. In an inspiring narrative, DeVito chronicles her search for happiness, meaning, and a purpose in her life as well as the amazing number of tragedies, traumas, and physical hardships she has endured in the process. As she leads others through her varied experiences, DeVito also documents the world’s most significant events over the past sixty years and how they impacted her life as she spent her childhood in Penang, trained to be a nurse and then beauty therapist, owned a shop, navigated through romantic relationships and family dynamics, and experienced many adventures that included falling in a river full of crocodiles and traveling the world. The Elusive Butterfly of Happiness is an inspiring story of survival against all odds as a woman reveals how she overcame seemingly overwhelming challenges to find her purpose.

The Unbearable Wrongness of Being is an exploration of the Option Method perspective through the device of literary vignettes taken from classic literature and altered to create an Option dialogue in each story. The Option Method is a way to let go of your unhappiness through a dialogue method of self inquiry. It is a self educational tool that allows you to get to the heart of your assumptions about unhappiness and gradually see reality in a new light. It is practical, compassionate and non-ideological in nature. The fictionalized settings give a fine overview of how this method is utilized. You will see how Option could have operated with Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov and the Grand Inquisitor in particular; how it reflects itself in Tolstoy's "Death of Ivan Ilych,"; or in a lost dialogue of Plato, or in a new version of Euripides' Medea, or eavesdrop on an Option discussion with the Buddha. That and more covering themes of Death, the Meaning of History, Love, Hate, Evil etc., are brought to life in the creative setting of the Option perspective at work in the creative process, a process alive in each of us. Join these fiction characters on a journey of discovery and find yourself opening the door to greater joy along with them!

This journey begins deeply within the heart, first thing in the morning, as you settle in to the new day that is beginning. Be there now, for just a moment, quietly, softly, listening. Do you hear that still, small voice? Within your inmost being there is a presence, a voice perhaps, the sound of silent wisdom. This book came from that silence. It is a collection of prayers, poems, and prose that arose from that deep and penetrating stillness. It began with a single verse from the Bible, and each day a different verse gave way to a thought, a sentence, and another that eventually became a prayer or poem. That silent voice within which is the creator of all that is beautiful and unique was the quiet force behind these daily prayers.

Our happiness, as also our unhappiness, comes from own volition and reactions – constantly liking this, disliking that; wanting this, not wanting that – without realizing that our reactions are impermanent, transitory phenomena. If you’ve ever been in the pursuit of happiness, or want to know more about that elusive and mysterious state of being, here’s the perfect book. With writing from some of the greatest spiritual thinkers in our country, Golden Cloud, Silver Lining is full of wisdom, insight and gentle guidance to those seeking a life of happiness but who simply don’t know where to look for it. Stalwarts such as The Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, The Karmapa, The Kenting Tai Situpa, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Robert Holden, Rohini Singh, Khushwant Singh and Shobhaa Dé reveal their personal thoughts and unique views on the secret to true happiness, and in turn, a long and peaceful life. Whether it be dealing with stress and environmental factors or relationships and emotions we can’t seem to control, there is a simple, spiritual truth from a master to help you see the light. Is happiness something we even need to seek? Will it elude us the more we chase its golden glow? Beautifully written and curated, this collection of essays from some exceptional thinkers is great food for thought and a definite pointer in the right direction to a more fulfilled, happy and present way of being.
