Write Your Own Pleasure Prescription

Combining wisdom from Polynesian culture with proven scientific research, Dr. Pearsall describes the five keys to a happy and fulfilling life: patience, connection, pleasantness, modesty, and tenderness. These simple principles form the basis of every prescription in this book. In Write Your Own Pleasure Prescription, Dr. Pearsall shows you how to bring these principles into daily practice with pleasurable ways to enjoy yourself and connect deeply with others. From learning how to "go with how it goes" at work (pleasure prescription #18) to "just say maybe" (pleasure prescription #26) these fun, profound and caring suggestions give us the ability to shift our lives so that we feel the joy that can be part of each day. After offering dozens of ideas, Dr. Pearsall then describes how everyone can write their own pleasure prescriptions, perfectly suited to their lives.
