How To Die Happy
O''Toole · 2023
<p>How can you achieve long-lasting happiness? Or transform your relationship with fear, death, or grief? What is happiness anyway? </p><p><br></p><p>All these questions (and more) are asked and answered in How To Die Happy.</p><p><br></p><p>An excerpt from the foreword: </p><p><br></p><p>"This madman has found a way to weave such wisdom into a tapestry of interconnected insight and understanding. The result is a charming and witty guide to attaining happiness that is both heartfelt and funny".</p><p><br></p><p>- Lee Holden, founder of Holden Qi Gong, international meditation and qi gong instructor, author, and TV personality. </p><p><br></p><p>Exploring themes around life "at Earth School" - depression, consumption, distraction, emotions, ego, and the pursuit of success, How To Die Happy examines why many of us feel robbed of bliss, joy, and peace. It's a guide to happiness that embraces the paradoxical impermanence of this sought-after prize.</p><p><br></p><p>Former high-functioning alcoholic adman Martin O'Toole once lived a wild life of excess, oblivious of how his childhood trauma had profoundly impaired his emotional maturation. A near-suicidal event was the launchpad for his learning about mental health's complexities - lessons, he muses: he "ought to have been taught as a child".</p><p><br></p><p>Leaving the hectic pace of London for the contrasting peace of the tropical island of Bali, O'Toole set out to heal his various neuroses. This extensive process of self-help work led to discovering what he calls the "Anatomy of Happy" - a methodology detailed in this book. </p><p><br></p><p>How To Die Happy distils the secrets to living and dying well. This book cherry-picks Eastern philosophies like Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, connecting their relationship to mindfulness and psychological practices. </p><p><br></p><p>The author shares tales of loss, self-suffering, forgiveness, love, and the miraculous healing power of psychedelic plant medicines. He deftly tackles serious subject matter in fun, often self-effacing and lighthearted ways. Perhaps, unusually, these are not lessons offered by an enlightened guru or a PhD but by a self-professed, fallible "man on the mend". </p><p><br></p><p>More specifically, you'll discover the following: </p><p><br></p><ul><li>How our relationship with death impedes a contented life.</li><li>What happiness is and is not.</li><li>The cruciality of Shadow Work on the road to personal transformation.</li><li>How forgiveness and self-love impact inner peace.</li><li>How understanding psychology and ego will transform your relationship with Self and others.</li><li>How mindfulness reverses depression, narcissism, anxiety, alcoholism, sex and drug addiction, and more. </li><li>How psychedelics, meditation, and breathwork can cultivate a welcome "ego death".</li><li>How accepting the impermanent nature of all things is the key to letting go.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>How To Die Happy tackles the root causes of depression and dissatisfaction. Part curated wisdom, part handbook, part memoir, this inspirational text offers a blend of ancient lessons, real-life stories, and a host of practical utilities to enjoy a vibrant and contented life.</p><p><br></p><p>"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". </p><p><br></p><p>- Lao Tzu</p><p><br></p><p>Today, we face material and mental distractions at every turn. This book offers meaningful concepts to help you find inner peace and happiness in a world that needs it more than ever. </p><p><br></p><p>If you seek genuinely sustainable happiness, this is a self-care book you must read before you die.</p>

El hombre en busca de sentido (Spanish Edition)
Viktor Emil Frankl • 2015
El doctor Frankl, psiquiatra y escritor, suele preguntar a sus pacientes aquejados de multiples padecimientos: Por que no se suicida usted? Y muchas veces, de las respuestas extrae una orientacion para la psicoterapia a aplicar: a este, lo que le ata a la vida son los hijos; al otro, un talento, una habilidad sin explotar; a un tercero, quizas, solo unos cuantos recuerdos que merece la pena rescatar del olvido. Tejer estas tenues hebras de vidas rotas en una urdimbre firme, coherente, significativa y responsable es el objeto con que se enfrenta la logoterapia. En esta obra, Viktor E. Frankl explica la experiencia que le llevo al descubrimiento de la logoterapia. Prisionero, durante mucho tiempo, en los desalmados campos de concentracion, el mismo sintio en su propio ser lo que significaba una existencia desnuda. Como pudo el que todo lo había perdido, que habia visto destruir todo lo que valia la pena, que padecio hambre, frio, brutalidades sin fin, que tantas veces estuvo a punto del exterminio, como pudo aceptar que la vida fuera digna de vivirla? El psiquiatra que personalmente ha tenido que enfrentarse a tales rigores merece que se le escuche, pues nadie como el para juzgar nuestra condicion humana sabia y compasivamente. Las palabras del doctor Frankl alcanzan un temple sorprendentemente esperanzador sobre la capacidad humana de trascender sus dificultades y descubrir la verdad conveniente y orientadora.
