Publisher Comments:

Why is it that despite our best efforts, many of us remain fundamentally unhappy and unfulfilled in our lives? In this provocative and inspiring book, David Richo distills thirty years of experience as a therapist to explain the underlying roots of unhappiness—and the surprising secret to finding freedom and fulfillment. 

There are certain facts of life that we cannot change—the unavoidable "givens" of human existence: (1) everything changes and ends, (2) things do not always go according to plan, (3) life is not always fair, (4) pain is a part of life, and (5) people are not loving and loyal all the time. Richo shows us that by dropping our deep-seated resistance to these givens, we can find liberation and discover the true richness that life has to offer. Blending Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, including practical exercises, Richo shows us how to open up to our lives—including to what is frightening, painful, or disappointing—and discover our greatest gifts.

Peg Foley, January 2, 2012 (view all comments by Peg Foley)
We expect things to go according to plan in our lives, and when they don't, we're shocked and often angry. This book explains how:
1. Everything changes and ends.
2. Things do not always go according to plan.
3. Life is not always fair.
4. Pain is a part of life.
5. People are not loving and loyal all of the time.

Knowing these givens is one thing; learning how to say "Yes!" to them is another thing. Richo does just that. His suggestions aren't pie in the sky. He meets you where you live.

This book has helped me begin to make peace with the recent death of my husband. I highly recommend it.
