DOWNLOAD EBOOKI decided to write this book because I have come to the conclusion that, for the most part, people do not know how to construct and pursue what makes for what philosophers call 'the good life'. Psychology and philosophy have both provided enormous insights into the challenge that is required to evolve into an emotional healthy and spiritually mature human being. Unfortunately much of that rich tapestry of wisdom and knowledge is left in the hallowed halls of academia. Instead much of the current self-help industry holds out promises that are grounded in shallow optimism and a pseudo-spiritual ideology. Fulfilment, happiness and personal peace are given the fast food approach in much of modern self help 'literature'. Spiritual nutrition is doled out in colourful packaging, tasty morsels that are inexpensive and go down easily. Yet they have little real nutritional value and soon after you are hungry again. This book addresses some of the more common but misleading information in the mind-body-spirit section of the popular psychology world. It combines the reflections of the great philosophers with the research findings of psychology and presents what I believe is a deeper and more spiritually satisfying approach. It describes the kind of thinking and analysis that is necessary if you are to become reflective and insightful in approaching the bigger questions in your life. And, as a result, may equip you to lead a more meaningful, richer and fulfilling life. The challenge to living such a life involves a vibrant combination of the following five elements: Developing healthy self worth, good decision making, a strong life purpose, nourishing relationships and reflective living. The following pages explicate these topics in, what I hope, is an accessible and readable manner.
