The Myth of Unhappiness, Volume 1
The Option Method: The Myth of Unhappiness, Vol. 1, is the first of a three-volume set laying out the fundamental causes of unhappiness and the groundbreaking antidote in the form of this powerful self-help technique.
In this first volume Bruce Di Marsico provides an introduction to the Option Method starting with an overview of the Method, its purpose and a description of the all-important attitude behind it. Open Volume 1 and step into the classroom with Bruce as he presents the foundation and framework for understanding his teaching and most importantly, ourselves.
Bruce explains how our beliefs shape our emotions, the crucial difference between needing and wanting and the connection between our desires and our happiness. By applying the Stimulus-Organism-Response model, Bruce reveals the connection between beliefs and emotions and the power of choice.
“In truth, people’s happiness is not threatened in any physical, material or involuntary way. Our happiness is merely believed to be threatened, and phenomenologically, therefore, that is what we call unhappiness; our belief that we can’t be happy.” — Bruce Di Marsico, The Myth of Unhappiness, Vol. 1
