Beskrivelse
The Secret to Living a More Fulfilled Life is a fascinating and groundbreaking book that turns the conventional thinking of what constitutes a happy and successful life on its head. Joseph Alff, M.S.W., drawing on forty years as a psychiatric counselor, skillfully unravels the most perplexing prescription for achieving human fulfillment ever offered: That those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Using vignettes based on personal and professional experiences, he explains that a person's natural response to the inherent struggles of human existence (humans against nature, others, self, evil, and even God) is for self-glorification, which is a hollow victory that robs individuals of fulfilling relationships and rich life experiences. He offers an alternative approach to living based on belief in oneself, tempered with contrition and humility. This refocuses us from ourselves to others, ushering in the quality of life we desire.
