A course in happiness - Mardi Jon Horowitz

For many, getting in touch with that elusive thing called 'happiness' is rarely simple - and achieving any kind of lasting happiness can feel like an insurmountable challenge. Perhaps what we need is an education on the subject . . . A COURSE IN HAPPINESS. In this book, Mardi Horowitz draws on more than forty years of experience as a practicing psychiatrist to provide readers with just this. According to Dr. Horowitz, happiness is essentially a by product of self-knowledge; in order to be happy, we need to understand who we truly are. In A COURSE IN HAPPINESS, he details a deeply rewarding course in mastering the three levels of self-understanding that underlie happiness:Integration: the ability to assemble all the pieces of one's self
into
a whole, complete, understood and respected 'me.'Intimacy: the capacity to remain closely connected to the warmth
of relationships with family, friends, colleagues and others in
a social community. Integrity: the insight to know which
of one's values are dearest
and which are lower in priority - and then to be true to what is
the most important, even in the midst of conflict.
