Our job on earth, the author says, is to learn from what happens to us. The particular experiences we have, whether good or bad, are not what matter; what counts is what we amke of these experiences. We do not live in the world, we live in our minds, Dr. Costello says. And what we do with life's happenings in our mind is what will make our lives a heaven or hell. More than religious philosophy he offers many sane, sound and practical ideas for living well and happily no matter what your physical or financial situations. This book will leave you feeling better about yourself and your life.
