Fiz um tópico recomendando o livro, mas não poderia deixar de compartilhar algumas frases. Tive que tirar várias porque estava quase colocando metade do livro kkkk. Tem muitas outras sensacionais, recomendo muito a leitura. Segue:
"How we feel about ourselves, the joy we get from living, ultimately depend directly on how the mind filters and interprets everyday experiences. Whether we are happy depends on inner harmony, not on the controls we are able to exert over the great forces of the universe."
"To overcome the anxieties and depressions of contemporary life, individuals must become independent of the social environment to the degree that they no longer respond exclusively in terms of its rewards and punishments. To achieve such autonomy, a person has to learn to provide rewards to herself. She has to develop the ability to find enjoyment and purpose regardless of external circumstances"
"Complexity requires investing psychic energy in goals that are new, that are relatively challenging."
"When experience is intrinsically rewarding life is justified in the present, instead of being held hostage to a hypothetical future gain"
"Unless a person knows how to give order to his or her thoughts, attention will be attracted to whatever is most problematic at the moment"
"Of all virtues we can learn no trait is more useful, more essential for survival, and more likely to improve the quality of life than the ability to transform adversity into an enjoyable challenge"
