Synopsis

Extraordinary joy is freedom from the roller-coaster of daily highs and lows that most of us experience. It is a state of deep satisfaction and continuous delight that comes when we really like who we are, how we live with others, and what we do in life. The key to this is synergy: making connections that energize and inspire us beyond the ordinary. It could be a connection with our own mental, emotional, and spiritual levels or with a loving partner, a respected colleague, or a community or group. Acting in synergy brings us to a whole new level of happiness. Using inspirational teachings from traditional and contemporary sources, images from nature, powerful exercises, and real-life examples from workshops and seminars, Chris Alexander describes the seven steps that can put synergy in your life. Each step yields a life lesson that allows you to break free from patterns of behavior that cause guilt, hurt and fear.
