But what's even more wonderful, according to Dave Richo, is that when you identify and carefully examine the things you long for--like love, meaning, freedom, happiness, and growth--you not only discover deep truths about yourself, but you also find that the things you long for were never really \"missing\" at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Richo provides enlightening advice and practices for accessing just this kind of profound self-discovery, illustrated by a wealth of examples from depth psychology, religion, and literature. Our longings in fact point to the presence of something transcendent in us, he shows. In seeking something better, we are seeking that which we already are.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"David Richo does a brilliant job unpacking the unhealthy versions of ego that confine us.
