This book, his tenth, maps out a sure way out of life's hells and toward a happy, meaningful life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn contrast to the makeovers\u003c\/b\u003e and quick fixes hawked by popular culture, \u003ci\u003eEscape Routes\u003c\/i\u003e offers a tougher prescription. Using real-life stories as travel guides, Arnold exposes the root causes of loneliness, frustration, alienation, and despair and shows how anyone, regardless of their age, income bracket, or social status, can find freedom and new life. The choices he presents are clear: to be selfish or selfless, to forgive or to hate, to burn with lust or with love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo matter what your problems, \u003c\/b\u003e or who you are, this book will help you on your way, provided you're ready to take its medicine.\u003cbr\u003e, br\u0026gt;\u003cb\u003eArnold writes: \u003c\/b\u003e \"Call it life, call it hell: there's not a person I've met who hasn't been lonely, discouraged, depressed, or guilt-ridden at one time or another, if not sick, burned-out, or at sea in a relationship. Sometimes I know this because they have told me about their problems; sometimes I can tell just by looking in their eyes. That's what got me started on this book--the fact that all of us have known some form of hell in our lives, and that insofar as any of us find freedom, confidence, companionship, and community, we will also know happiness.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plough Publishing House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874867701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Johann Christoph Arnold","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42077436510389,"sku":"9780874867701","price":10.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0cd35900-bb22-4f07-a80a-55edbc888433.jpg?v=1650955580","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/escape-routes-for-people-who-feel-trapped-in-lifes-hells-9780874867701","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
