If life is worth living, it's worth living well. To live well is to be wise. Being wise automatically shows others how to be wise. That increase of wisdom has been my central motivation.

The common theme through all my work is detaching from dissatisfaction. It's impossible to be happy and enjoy life if you are dissatisfied or discontent. I've finally figured out a few important ways to diminish dissatisfaction and that's always what I write about in my books and blog posts.

If you have a troubled mind, not much else is important. The practices I present and promote are not original with me, but they are effective in promoting peace of mind.

If your life isn't yet going as well as you'd like and you don't have an effective body practice, I encourage you to do some investigating. In terms of your living better, that's my most valuable suggestion. Be well!
