Offers an entirely new path to healing and wellness by activating the "joy response"--the key to maintaining a spiritual high While traditional psychology and psychiatry focus on mental illnesses and maladjusted personalities, Pearsall focuses on wellness and on people in love with life. He believes that most of us are literally addictedboth psychologically and physico-chemicallyto a cycle of stress and depression. Fortunately we can reprogram ourselves to be addicted to joy, and Pearsall offers the means to do so. Division of the text into small sections makes for easy reading and comprehension, and numerous tests help readers determine their own degree of joy. An encouraging book that should be helpful.John Moryl, Yeshiva Univ. Lib., New York Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
