SUMMARY:Healing Our Unhappiness
DESCRIPTION:Whenever we are prevented from fulfilling our wishes or forced into a situation we dislike—in short\, whenever we have to put up with something we would rather avoid—our uncontrolled mind reacts by immediately feeling unhappy. This uncomfortable feeling can easily turn into anger\, and we become even more disturbed than before. \nSince it is impossible to fulfill all our desires or prevent unwanted things from happening to us\, we need to find a different way of relating to frustrated desires and unwanted experiences. \nIn this series\, you will learn practical methods to transform the energy of unhappiness into positive emotions.
