Here are the simple truths that motivate people of any age
to find and accept lasting happiness, illustrated with the
stories of real people, and illuminated with the
observations of spiritual leaders and great philosophers. For more than three decades, attorney, financial
consultant, and life coach Stephen M. Pollan has been
advising clients and readers on the business of living --
everything from home buying and employment contracts to
marriage and parenting. He has taught his clients and
readers to Die Broke (use assets rather than build up an
estate), to stage Second Acts (reinvent their lives), and,
most recently, to Fire Your Boss (take charge of their own
work lives). Throughout these books, Pollan stresses that attitudes as
well as actions are essential to success. Indeed, over the
years he realized that the happiest and most successful
people he'd met were also those who were the most energetic
and exuberant, regardless of their age. By noting these
attributes and incorporating them in his own life, Pollan
came to understand that our attitudes are not just one
element of succeeding at the business of living, they are
in fact the foundation of leading a happy life. Attitude is everything. Those attitudes most essential to our deepest satisfaction
and happiness reflect what our spiritual leaders and
philosophers from every major tradition have taught us. We
don't have to look to external forces to validate us and
give us self-worth. We already have within us all we need
to find fulfillment and lead happy, satisfying lives --
lives without regrets. To finally be happy we need to accept responsibility for
our own happiness. When we know the secrets are already
inside us, all we have to do is start living them. With
this book, we can begin now.
