You Are Not the Target (Complete Reprint) | Laura Archera Huxley
1 post | 2 read
33 Ways to Inner HappinessOffering practical wisdom on how to cope with life's day to day challenges, Laura Archera Huxley, life partner of Aldus Huxley, shares 33 "recipes" for personal success and happiness. Although they may initially appear deceptively simple, these instructions can achieve extraordinary results with dedicated practice. In You Are Not the Target Huxley observes that changing our inner self can influence those around us, and persuasively argues that a person must work on both realms-self and relationship to others-to better manage personal happiness and well-being. Her direct, no-nonsense method, replete with examples and helpful questions, provides a grounded approach to developing a healthy perspective of the self in a tumultuous world. Building a stronger sense of self, which in turn enhances connections to others, enables a person to develop skills best suited for coping in today's complex society. Anyone wishing to reduce stress and anxiety while also building strong self-confidence will find this book an indispensable guide. This is the first printing to include two chapters not previously included in the print editions, This book is also available from Echo Point Books in hardcover (1635619343).

We gave out copies of books our late friend loved at his memorial, and I picked this one. Introduced by Aldous Huxley and written by his wife, this unconventional 1963 self-help book contains a series of “recipes,” embodied psychological practices to aid in living life well. I trust, although the title recipe is a bit dated, these recipes can make a difference, but they‘re so involved and wacky that I would only use them in a crisis, to be honest!
