Getting a Life: Strategies for Joyful & Effective Living - Paperback

by Copthorne MacDonald (Author)

This book is about crafting full, rich, creative, and enjoyable lives for ourselves -- lives that are significant, lives that contribute in some way to the world around us. Getting a Life is rooted in the idea that some steps toward wisdom require nothing more than a fresh look at common life situations, nothing more than an appreciation of the difference between skilful and unskilful ways of dealing with those situations. Its premise is that a few truths about everyday life, if pointed out and taken seriously, can make a significant difference in the quality of day-to-day living and our enjoyment of life.
