Happy is not a Goal describes how to bring happiness into your life despite the turmoil and sometimes even the boredom. It is a choice. The information is based on my professional experience in assisting patients and their families through critical illness pain emotional distress and death. I originally learned these techniques in dealing with my own life crises of cancer and the loss of a son I have not discovered anything new or magical. As you will find Ive had many teachers. I chose those truths that made sense to me and seemed to work with myself and my patients. I had many moments of suffering with many more moments of happy so now I pass it on.
