Right now you're doing something that every other person is also doing. You're 'wanting.' Think about it. Maybe you want your boss to appreciate you or your car to stop costing you money or your hair to look good or your friend's cancer to go away. Go ahead - try to stop 'wanting.' You can't do it. It's part of being human. But, the 'fact' of your 'wanting' becomes dysfunctional if you allow it to direct your living - especially if your self-worth and your capacity for optimism are dependent on getting what's wanted. In that case, you'll react to failure and loss with self-pity, anger, or, perhaps, a new and improved plan to try and control what can't be controlled. And, even if you get what you want, the satisfaction is conditional and temporary - prompting you to pursue the next item on your 'want' list. Maybe you're ok with that. But, don't think, for a minute, that you're consciously directing your own living. Your living is being directed by hard-wired instincts and deeply embedded impulses. And, worse, you're failing to use your very best attribute (reason) to perform your most important human act (decision making). In 'The Best Way To Live,' Randall Leigh Laird shows you how to live according to what you know - rather than what you want. You'll discover and probe your own life lessons, learned from your experiences of loss. Those lessons - forged into ideas - will form the basis of your philosophy and your 'best way to live.'
