In Pursuit of Happiness

By Frank Minirth, M.D.

The Pursuit of Happiness should be joyous race, not a backpedaling grind. But when negative emotions take over, it’s difficult to put one foot ahead of the other, let alone break into a run. The first step in pursuing happiness is to realize power choices exist. Determining to make them comes next.

Drawing from a deep well of experience, clinical practice, and devotional life, Dr. Frank Minirth fills each chapter with proactive suggestions that are long on specifics, short on generalities, and devoid of platitudes.

Each chapter offers choices—six ways to turn loss into gain, nine lessons on grief, eight choices for a happy marriage, a half-dozen ways to help troubled teens, twelve tools for overcoming discouragement, and more. These are all geared to turning the pursuit into a lifestyle of productive forward motion.
