THE ART OF SERENITY
The Path to a Joyful Life in the Best and Worst of Times
T. Byram Karasu, M.D.
Simon & Schuster, 2002
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The reader will learn the use of self-validation, tools such as 'transitional objects' in dealing with children and adults, how to recognize and work with suffering and joy, how communing with nature and solitude are important in realizing happiness, how the evolutionary process works in awareness, and how much spiritual matters play in happiness.
Drawing on folktales, mythology, Eastern philosophy, Sufi poetry and Judeo-Christian theology, Dr. Karasu shows how to help suffering people find genuine happiness and 'an extraordinary and permanent joyful serenity.' His message is a simple one: such serenity comes from loving others, loving one's work and belonging to a community, and from being able to believe in unity, the sacred, and the possibility of transformation.
