You Are Not the Target

33 Ways to Inner Happiness

Offering practical wisdom on how to cope with life's day to day challenges, Laura Archera Huxley, life partner of Aldus Huxley, shares 33 "recipes" for personal success and happiness. Although they may initially appear deceptively simple, these instructions can achieve extraordinary results with dedicated practice.  

In You Are Not the Target Huxley observes that changing our inner self can influence those around us, and persuasively argues that a person must work on both realms-self and relationship to others-to better manage personal happiness and well-being. Her direct, no-nonsense method, replete with examples and helpful questions, provides a grounded approach to developing a healthy perspective of the self in a tumultuous world. Building a stronger sense of self, which in turn enhances connections to others, enables a person to develop skills best suited for coping in today's complex society. 

Anyone wishing to reduce stress and anxiety while also building strong self-confidence will find this book an indispensable guide.
