The Art of Inner Joy: World Views on Self-Healing and Meaning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977221971)

But some things cloud our everyday experiences and prevent us from feeling happy and at peace:

• The ego, the dark side of our relationships.
• Lack of forgiveness and compassion that creates a constant sense of unease and inner tension.
• Our inability to carefully and accurately define our inner desires, which causes us to create a reality that doesn't quite suit us.
• Damaging thoughts and negative speech, causing us to experience life in a troubling, uncomfortable way.

Our tendency to focus on what we are lacking and on the pain we are suffering prevents us from creating inner joy. In order to heal ourselves, we must go beyond understanding our emotional sources and adopt a new perspective of these critical, fundamental issues that often become an integral part of our lives. This book offers keys and solutions for overcoming these challenges. The tools it offers were adapted from philosophies and world views gathered from different cultures and spiritual worlds, while incorporating principles of psychology.
