In this indispensable handbook, Richard Carlson demonstrates how we can change everything in our lives – earn more money, meet new friends, get a new job – yet still feel dissatisfied. Happiness, he says, is not 'out there' but within, a state of mind that is independent of circumstance: 'If you begin to see that your thoughts are not the real thing – they're just thoughts and as thoughts they can't hurt you – your entire life will begin to change today.' Carlson's step-by-step guide explains: • How your thoughts determine how you feel. • Why thinking about problems only makes them worse. • That thoughts come and go – you are free to choose at any moment which to hold on to and which to let go. • Straightforward methods for conquering depression. • How to dismiss negative thoughts and discover inner contentment. • How to overcome lifelong pessimism and start really living.
