But the truth is, happiness is not something you have to get or achieve, because it s something you already have in fact, it s what you already are.With this book, author Jon Bernie counselor, healer, and teacher in the lineage of Adyashanti sheds light on the struggle to find happiness, showing how our unexamined beliefs distort our identities and make us suffer by creating unconscious tension in our bodies and minds.
