The Treasure Hunt: Discover and Reclaim Your Life James J. Smith Ph. D.

Did you ever stop and wonder if you are living the life you were meant to live? Did you ever wonder if you are living more for someone else's benefit than your own? Are you just "putting in your time," doing what you are "supposed" to do? Do you feel more like a passive observer watching life go by than a meaningful and creative force in your own life? Do you sometimes feel lost and wonder what it's all about? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, maybe you are ready for a change. Maybe now is the time to live your life the way you really want to-without the guilt, without the unnecessary struggle, and most of all, without the permission or cooperation from anyone else. This is a book about the way life works. From birth until death, we strive to be ourselves while combating social forces that distort our efforts to be free. However, the socialization process doesn't have to impede our journey toward happiness as we move through our one and only life. In this book, you are encouraged to strive to fully experience your thoughts and feelings and rediscover your True Self in order to reach your full potential. By becoming more in tune with yourself, you are more likely to have satisfying relationships with others. It is hoped that after reading this book you will feel happier with yourself and more excited about your future.
