In this provocative and inspiring book, David Richo distills thirty years of experience as a therapist to explain the underlying roots of unhappiness--and the surprising secret to finding freedom and fulfillment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, and including practical exercises, Richo shows us how to open up to our lives--including what is frightening, painful, or disappointing--and discover our greatest gifts.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Five Things We Cannot Change: And the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them | David Richo | Paperback | 9781590303085 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks A 1751580","offer_id":48927892242584,"sku":"1751580","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81Vi_2-weML.jpg?v=1777057959","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/five-things-we-cannot-change-and-the-happiness-we-find-by-embracing-them","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
