Deep in the heart of every person is a longing for happiness. But what is happiness, and how might we find it? Robert Ellsberg suggests that happiness is not a matter of circumstances or feeling but of finding our true self. It is found not through the struggle to escape from this life into another one but in the way we deal with the basic things that every one of us must face - work, love, suffering, and death. Ellsberg draws models and inspiration from the great figures in the Christian tradition, famous saints such as Francis of Assisi and Teresa of Avila, and also remarkable men and women that he has known and worked with, such as Henri Nouwen and Dorothy Day. This wonderful book brings alive a tradition, sometimes obscured or misunderstood even by Christians themselves, that brings happiness and holiness together in the idea of 'life in abundance'.
