Amazon.com This is not a collection of encouraging essays on simplicity， nor is it perky advice on how to get by with less. Timothy Miller， a clinical psychologist， sets out to uncover in recent scientific studies the roots of the insatiable appetite of humans. After establishing our instinctual need for More， he pursues its destructive consequences and then he outlines a methodology for transcending the cycle. His infinitely pragmatic advice centers on his elaboration of Compassion， Attention， and Gratitude. Here is perennial wisdom transformed into practical science. From Publishers Weekly Referring to the wisdom in the traditions of Buddhism， Christianity and humanistic philosophies， Miller here constructs a model by which individuals who seek "more" than what they have can find happiness by wanting what they already have. The process is difficult， he stresses， requiring a change of heart. A California cognitive psychotherapist， Miller establishes three pinciples-compassion， attention and gratitude-that must be employed lifelong for change to be lasting. Commingling case histories， anecdotes and engaging humor， he demonstrates the principles. This commonsense counselor offers a feasible method for living and enjoying a good life "in accordance with the old saying that happiness is a way of traveling rather than a destination." Realistic solace for the discontented. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information， Inc. See all Editorial Reviews
