From the moment we are born, we are seekers. Our culture
obsessively promotes the pursuit of money, success and
self-improvement. At the end of each activity-jammed day, though,
we collapse into bed discouraged by everything we have "not"
checked off on our to-do lists, in despair that whatever we have
accomplished is never enough. Worse still, when our dreams become
derailed by the inherent tragedies of life--job loss, financial
peril, sickness, or the death of a loved one--we feel devastated by
the pain and injustice of it all.
Nationally renowned author, therapist, and minister Wayne Muller
offers healing for the perpetually stressed in "A Life of Being,
Having, and Doing Enough. "By learning compassion and mercy for
ourselves and by recognizing what is most profoundly true about who
we are and what we need, we can gain the self-acceptance so that
whatever we choose to do, in this moment, it is wholly enough.
Muller mixes the writings of great spiritual and political leaders
with inspirational anecdotes from his own life, inviting us to
derive more satisfaction from less and pull gratitude out of the
ashes of grief. The answer to what he describes as "authentic
happiness" lies not in seeing the glass as half full instead of
half empty. In reality, he writes, the glass is always half full
"and" half empty. The world is neither broken nor whole, but
eternally engaged in rhythms between joy and sorrow. With Muller's
guidance, we may find ourselves on the most courageous spiritual
pilgrimage of our lives.
