The Five Things We Cannot Change....

And the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them

By: David Richo

Narrated by: Tom Pile

Why is it that despite our best efforts, many of us remain fundamentally unhappy and unfulfilled in our lives? In this provocative and inspiring audiobook, David Richo distills 30 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.

repetitive and sleep inducing

it's a great message but the narrator has a voice that is very quiet and difficult to hear and very raspy and whispery and sleepy

A Great Read

This title has great perspective to the happenings of life to my opinion.

There was pure synchronicity to the comprehension and practices as I grow through my human experience.

I would not introduce this book to debate someone's practice and beliefs, although I would recommend it as a tool to aide anyone ready to perceive and accept life that be.

very good look into one's self

learning to becoming ones best self, through personal inventory.Saying yes to all life has to offer.

Very helpful
