The Five Things We Cannot Change...and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them

By David Richo

The Five Things We Cannot Change...and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them
By David Richo
Why do many of us remain essentially unhappy, despite our best attempts to find enduring fulfillment? The Five Things We Cannot Change...and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them (Random House Canada, 2005) is a motivating book, written by accomplished writer and therapist David Richo. He explains the essential roots of unhappiness -- and reveals covert solutions to finding true happiness and freedom.

The first section of the book identifies and explores the five "givens" of life: (1) everything changes and ends, (2) things do not always go according to plan, (3) life is not always fair, (4) pain is part of life, and (5) people are not loving and loyal all the time. Richo explains that we cannot find real satisfaction in our lives until we come to terms with these five facts.

Through practical exercises outlined in the book, Richo shows you how to set free your difficulties and discover your greatest gifts.
