Search For Serenity

Some people meet life with zest; others seem to live in a state of chronic dissatisfaction. Two people, confronted with identical problems, often react in entirely different ways. One will make the best of the immediate situation. He will find some seeds for enjoyment in the most difficult circumstance. The other individual may lapse into a state of misery. Those who are perpetually miserable, unhappy, and bored with life do not need to remain that way. There may be little they can do at the moment to change their circumstances, but there is a great deal which they could do about their own reactions. Misery is optional. Misery is inside one’s self. It is part of one’s own feelings. We can all change the way we feel about things or people or circumstances. This book is about people who have found it necessary to change the way they feel.

In simple language, this book attempts to describe some of the practical ways in which one can replace misery with serenity. Read more
