In Search of the Good Life - Roswitha McIntosh - Bog

In Search of the Good Life portrays the qualities that make for a good life, such as courage, compassion, tolerance, forgiveness and love. One reviewer called it, "a Tao for modern living ... a guide, comfort and aid to meditation." The book, written in lyric prose and beautifully illustrated by well-known artist Mimi Stuart, answers many questions. What is the Good Life? Is it freedom to do as we want; is it wealth and power? Or is it happiness and contentment? Where do we begin our search for the Good Life? It begins within ourselves, for we all differ and are wise to accept our preferences, limitations and strengths. Do we look for happiness? Or will happiness find us if we give it a chance? How do we cope with death, betrayal and loss? The author's long and varied life has led her to many answers that she shares in this slim volume. A reviewer calls it: "A gem of a book, the essence of the sages distilled into a highly readable and poetic narrative. Highly recommended to those who want to get the most out of life."
