The Five Things We Cannot Change....

And the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them

De: David Richo

Narrado por: Tom Pile

Why is it that despite our best efforts, many of us remain fundamentally unhappy and unfulfilled in our lives? In this provocative and inspiring audiobook, David Richo distills 30 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.

A Great Read

This title has great perspective to the happenings of life to my opinion.

There was pure synchronicity to the comprehension and practices as I grow through my human experience.

I would not introduce this book to debate someone's practice and beliefs, although I would recommend it as a tool to aide anyone ready to perceive and accept life that be.

very good look into one's self

learning to becoming ones best self, through personal inventory.Saying yes to all life has to offer.

Very helpful

Clear important information, narrative very good will recommended may read again, first time reading from this author and already have another book in line

Where emotions meet spirit

Took me a while to get into the book and then I loved it! Loved the connections between emotions and spirit. The practical ways of looking at and dealing with life. Worth listening to again and again. I particularly liked the comparisons on when we are honoring our boundaries and when we are not and when we are managing our emotions and not. A great mirror to help look at myself emotionally and spiritually.

Great stuff. So straightforward and clear on so many important les

This book is an excellent example of modern day stoicism. So many things resonated with me and helped me to articulate a lot of feelings that I’ve had instinctively all my life. It was very validating and enlightening on so many levels. I appreciate audible for making this available and plan on listening at least a few more times

much wisdom in a tiny book

I wish I had read this book 40 years ago. there's just so much wisdom here that I want to share it with everyone.

A healing book

A great introduction to buddhism, but more than that, a handbook for the tragedy of life.

Great book, very insightful

I love audible. Listened to this book on a long drive. Exactly what I needed to hear at this time in my life.

One thing leads to another.

I found this wonderful book because I enjoyed the narrator on another great book. Now I am looking for more books from this inspiring author.
