Book Overview

33 Ways to Inner HappinessOffering practical wisdom on how to cope with life's day to day challenges, Laura Archera Huxley, life partner of Aldus Huxley, shares 33 "recipes" for personal success and happiness. Although they may initially appear deceptively simple, these instructions can achieve extraordinary results with dedicated practice. In You Are Not the Target Huxley observes that changing our inner self can influence those around us, and persuasively argues that a person must work on both realms-self and relationship to others-to better manage personal happiness and well-being. Her direct, no-nonsense method, replete with examples and helpful questions, provides a grounded approach to developing a healthy perspective of the self in a tumultuous world. Building a stronger sense of self, which in turn enhances connections to others, enables a person to develop skills best suited for coping in today's complex society. Anyone wishing to reduce stress and anxiety while also building strong self-confidence will find this book an indispensable guide. This is the first printing to include two chapters not previously included in the print editions, This book is also available from Echo Point Books in hardcover (1635619343). This description may be from another edition of this product.

An Excellent Personal Resource

When I discovered this book many years ago as a teenager searching for wisdom and equanimity, this book, which I borrowed from a library, helped me learn some crucial lessons. The biggest lesson was as the title of the book says "You are not the target". So much of what other people do and say to us has nothing to do with us at all really. We need to turn around that accusing finger to point right back to the one who says...

I repurchased this after twenty years

This book is an excellent introduction to getting in touchwith your own feelings/body/self-awareness. Wonderful, playful,fun and practical exercises make sense. I am sure itprofoundly changed my life and was part of my path for becominga happy person. Unbeatable! Thanks Laura Huxley!

Don't take it personally!

This is a great book for anyone who is overly sensitive to criitism or other people's mood swings. It contains "recipes" to use when you find yourself either angered or hurt by someone else's insensitivity. I highly recommend this book for every household! If you've ever been told to be more thick skinned, then this is the book to learn how.
