Five things we cannot change: And the happiness we find by embracing them

Five things we cannot change: And the happiness we find by embracing them by David Richo.

A seasoned therapist, the author offers the perspective that there are certain facts that we cannot change – the unavoidable “givens” of human existence: everything changes and ends; things do not always go according to plan; life is not always fair; pain is part of life, and people are not loving and loyal all the time.

By letting go of our resistance to these givens, life gets lighter. Richo blends western psychology with Eastern spirituality and provides practical exercises.
