Description
A knee-jerk reaction might be to think that kindness has nothing to do with happiness and to connect them is a bunch of mumbo-jumbo,"feel-good" nonsense. Of course, there are a variety of ways to find real happiness besides being kind, but "Your Unfinished Life" makes a case for why it's certainly an important route to it. Aldous Huxley said, "People often ask me what the most effective technique is for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the answer is - just be a little kinder."
As we go through our daily lives, we sometimes find that a material piece of ourselves is missing, something that is undefined and unfilled. As Thoreau noted in "Walden", When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence...explore your own higher latitudes."
E.E. Cummings said that, "The hardest thing in the world is being yourself... There is no reason to rejoice for the man who would rather walk with the noise and avoid the voice." "Your Unfinished Life" provides revealing insights that can lead you to your highest self.
A reporter once asked George Bernard Shaw, "If you could live your life over and be anybody you've known, or be any person from history, who would it be? Shaw replied, "I would choose to be the man George Bernard Shaw could have been, but never was."
Who could you have been? Don't let your unplayed music die inside of you. Find yourself through assistive interaction with others. Let "Your Unfinished Life" help make a real difference in your happiness---and in your life.
