Summary
Clinical depression lives in about 20% of our population. Yet, we are one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Clearly, money doesn't buy happiness. One of the sources of stuckness is having a consumer-generated perspective. The more I have, the better I'll feel. Nope. Not so. One of your mental pathways on your healing journey is to trade in your consumerism , which keeps you stuck, and become more grateful, which frees you to soar. Gratitude motivates us to give to others, reach out, enjoy with others what we have. Focusing on our gratitude is one of the elements of positive psychology which I share with you in my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life.
