Destination Happiness – 53 Steps Ahead (e-Kitap)

Beschreibung

This book is all about happiness… Before we discuss happiness, we first need to answer the question of “How do we become unhappy?” Who creates the so-called unhappiness? Do you believe that the reason of your unhappiness is the outside world and its factors? Or do you think that you will remain unhappy as long as your outside world and others do not change? What if this were not the case? What if the source of your unhappiness were not the external world but yourself? Wouldn’t our reality be different then?

Unhappiness is a state of mind. The meaning that we attribute to “what is”, more specifically the reality, makes us unhappy, in other words, our perspective about the matter. The attachment to the warrior mind that fights the reality is the sole reason of our unhappiness.

Every single person is born with the capacity to be happy and satisfied as well as with joy and enthusiasm. But what happens later that causes us to lose this attribute and become unhappy? What initiates unhappiness and creates a state of addiction to it? And when does this happen?

Which thoughts alienate us from ourselves, namely our essence, and lead to the pain, sorrow, and unhappiness we experience?

Thoughts are not harmful by themselves. Thousands of them cross our minds every single day. If we watch them just like the clouds by merely witnessing them, they will not harm us. However, our lives and relationships will be affected negatively if we believe these thoughts imprudently, without questioning or testing them.

In this book, which emerged and flourished as a result of the valuable contributions of the participants during my Happiness Seminar, I am going to talk about thoughts and stories that harm us. I wrote about the fifty-three thinking errors which we frequently make dragging ourselves to unhappiness. By every single item, we are going to realize that it is in fact us who create our unhappiness. If it is us who creates unhappiness, then it is also us who will put an end to it. We are going to discern the beliefs and thought patterns that make us unhappy. Then we are going to see who we are and how we act when we do not believe these thoughts.

We are going to be aware of the rules and conditions that we determine for ourselves to become happy. We are going to discover our expectations from others, how much our happiness depends on these people’s change, and how we force them to change. We are going to learn about the distinction between the conditional happiness and the unconditional happiness which is intrinsic and needs to be liberated.

Through The Work method, we are going to share with you the possibility of unlocking the gates of the mental prison where we lock ourselves and embracing the liberty of flying like a bird.

Have a pleasant reading…
