Features & Highlights

  • How to understand the role the past plays in your present and live a fulfilling, emotionally health life
  • Happiness is a loaded term that means different things to different people. To some, it might mean life satisfaction, to others, a fleeting moment of joy. Rather than seeking to be happy, Oliver James encourages us to cultivate our emotional health. Outlining the five elements of good emotional health—insightfulness, a strong sense of self, fluid relationships, authenticity, and playfulness in our approach to life—he offers strategies for optimizing each characteristic to live more fulfilling lives. Helping us to understand the impact our emotional baggage has on our daily interactions, he reveals how to overcome unhelpful patterns and become more self-aware—revitalizing our approach to life.

Many teachings and reflections

It is an excellent book. Many teachings and reflections. I confess that I just did not like much of the last pages. But the book itself is lightweight, fast and well dedicated. Do not expect as much depth, but certainly the stories will inspire you.
