What
is my purpose? How can I be happy? For thousands of years, people have
pondered these big questions, often finding the answers elusive. In Map
to Happiness, Peter Stimpson,
an Episcopal priest and experienced therapist, doesn’t claim to have
all the answers. Still, he generously shares a wealth of wisdom he has
learned by counseling and ministering to people for more than
thirty-five years.
Stimpson anchors happiness in a pyramid of principles: insecurity, power, and success. He explains that by understanding everyone is insecure,
we can take back our power from others to define our worth and reach
for success in lasting values, not things. His message is clear: who you
become is more important than what you attain.
Stimpson
illustrates the power of his trilogy by answering today’s ubiquitous
questions related to love of yourself, your spouse, your children, and
life’s challenges of stress, work, illness, anger, and death. Using both
spiritual and psychological perspectives, Stimpson frankly discusses how we stray off the path to happiness, but more important, how we can get back on track.
If
you are confused or lost, open this map and begin your journey. You’ll
find help sifting through confusing issues with easy-to-understand
explanations and ready-to-use solutions.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
