INTRODUCTION

Why is it that some people seem to enjoy more happiness, success and fulfilment than others? Why do some people enjoy better health, happier relationships,
financial and career success, and others do not?

How is it that some people accomplish remarkable feats and enjoy wonderful happy lives of inner peace and contentment, while so many others suffer frustration
and disappointment, leading lives, of silent desperation? Do you ever feel there are parts of your life where you are just going through the motions or you are
close to arriving at a crossroad that feels like a no entry sign?

• Perhaps a relationship you once thought would be fulfilling and last forever, is ailing and you fear the prospect of being alone.

• Or is it a career you thought would stimulate you for years to come, that has turned into something you are utterly bored with, drained by, or worse,
that you now dread?

• Is your previous good health, or that of a loved one, threatened by illness or disease?

• Perhaps events in your life threaten to destroy your financial security?

• Or do you have a general feeling of dissatisfaction and disappointment with life as a whole?

• Does your life seem to lack purpose or direction?

• Maybe you feel as if you wake up each day as a stranger in your own life?

If any of these apply to you, if you’re not living the life you want right now, the content of these pages is for you.

What is happening? Why do we feel this way? How did we get here? Even the most successful people, who, in theory, should enjoy the greatest degree of
happiness and fulfilment, experience dissatisfaction with their lives that they can’t explain.

Whether it is a relationship, a career, financial circumstances, health or our general wellbeing, the problem is the same. Perhaps the most excruciating pain
we will endure comes from something that can best be described as the gap – in some instances it would be more appropriately described as a gaping chasm,
between what we really value and want and what we are doing and getting. Dissatisfaction is caused when we experience a negative difference between the
expectations we hoped for and what we actually receive, between the life we planned and the life we get. Page10
