The best "Life 101" book?
Author’s Comments:
As a psychologist, I have talked in depth with thousands of people who were experiencing problems in life. These were mostly ordinary people, not those with psychiatric disorders. Many of their problems seemed to be caused or made worse by their lack of training in life skills. These skills are not often learned from parents, nor are they adequately taught in schools. So I decided to write a book about these skills, to serve as a step-by-step guide to help people develop improved ways to cope with life, and to make life more fulfilling.
It was clear that many of these distraught clients did not have the physical or emotional energy to cope with their challenges. So the first part of the book outlines the best program for achieving maximum energy through improving sleep, changing eating habits and nutrition, and ensuring regular, enjoyable, energy-boosting exercise. By the way, this program for optimizing energy is also the best way to manage weight problems.
The next section of the book shows how to get organized, and how to become more relaxed. Many life problems begin or get worse due to lack of organization, and the inability to calm the mind and body. Some simple organizational steps, and a variety of mental and body relaxation methods are suggested.
The most important lessons of the book focus on the big question: "How should I live my life?" In a systematic way, the book takes the reader on a path designed to make life meaningful, both personally and at work. This path involves refocusing one’s priorities to be more helpful, and less concerned with material things. There is a chapter on how to become less attached to material possessions; this can be a psychological barrier to fulfillment. The book explains the wisdom of the ancients, and integrates the modern psychological research on happiness to show the way.
The book makes clear that the answer to the question of how to live life ultimately can be found in the achievement of happiness. True happiness and fulfillment come from sharing and caring relationships, and from constructive and creative work and leisure pursuits. The last section of the book provides a plan for redirecting one’s life in these directions.
Unlike many popular "self-help" books, Energy, Peace, Purpose is structured as a step-by-step plan for life development, complete with self-analysis exercises, flow charts, progress diaries, and evaluation forms. Importantly, I have recognized that making significant life changes requires support from others, so I have included a chapter on how to obtain support through groups.
