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.
