Unfortunately, there are many people who are stuck in a life of routine, with so-so relationships and jobs that produce very little joy. Having suffered from depression and stagnation myself, my goal is to indicate a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. My book You Deserve to Be Happy, explains why so many of us sabotage our efforts to be happy and successful, and clarifies the steps needed to overcome what is often a lack of self-esteem or unconscious conflicts from childhood. My recent book on Flourishing explains how everyone can achieve a life of fulfillment and joy. It stimulates the reader to evaluate their life and find areas in which they can continue to grow. It focuses on the fact that we must all find our purpose in life and then pursue using our creativity and unique abilities. This is what leads to a life of “flourishing”.
