Stop Seeking Happiness; Just Get Out of Its Way!

Happiness is our natural state, for each of us as well as for humanity all together, argues John Izzo. But that happiness is being taken by insidious mental patterns that he depicts as thieves: the thief of control, the thief of conceit, the thief of coveting, the thief of usage, and the thief of comfort and ease. He found out these thieves as he sought the true way to obtain happiness throughout a year-long sabbatical, walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain and surviving in the Andes of Peru. This thoughtful and uplifting book represents the disguises these thieves use, the various tools they use to break right into our hearts, and how exactly to lock them out once and for all. Izzo displays how these same thieves of personal happiness are destroying culture as well. This book will help us all discover, develop, and defend the happiness that is our true character while creating a world we all want to live in.
