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.  There 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. Blending Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, including practical exercises, Richo shows us how to open up to our lives—including to what is frightening, painful, or disappointing—and discover our greatest gifts.

David Richo uses his extensive knowledge of eastern teachings as well as western philosophies to construct a "how to" guide on dealing with these truths. It is well worth the time and money spent for this insightful journey through life's inevitabilities. Rating: - Awesome perspective I read this book and then let my friends read it. It is a great book full of perspectives contradictory to 21st century American thought. It is full of truths which will bring an individual pathways to peace. Rating: - A book full of insight Outstanding work offering insight into some of life's "misconceptions". David Richo not only constructs his work on these insights but also guides us to embrace issues that might previously been seen as "life's disappointments". He portrays his "five givens" as challenges that we will face and introduces the rather radical approach that they are not negatives. He shows that by resisting these "givens" we set ourselves up for sorrow, disappointment, and frustration. He walks us through a process ...

Dave Richo's book is one that puts a loving spin on all the challenges of life. Never saying it will be easy but that our higher powers and/or friend support and/or therapists will be there to help us get through to the benefits awaiting on the other side of the pain. The constant suggestions of peaceful, non-retributive, loving and compassionate ...
