«Seul ce que je connais et que j’aime peut me contenter.
Le reste non. Pub, marketing et fabulations à la Edward Bernays ont ruiné notre monde.» https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays

The Little Book of Contentment
By Leo Babauta
‘He who is contented is rich.’ ~ Lao Tzu
One of the most important things I’ve learned in the last 7 years has been how to find contentment.
It’s been a long journey, but I’ve enjoyed it. I struggled with feeling bad about my body, feeling insecure about myself, doubting my abilities to make it without an employer, doubting myself as a writer, not believing I had discipline or the ability to change my habits.
And all this led to other problems: I sought happiness and pleasure in food, beer, shopping, distraction, TV. I procrastinated, I let my health get bad, I smoked, I was deeply in debt, unhappy with my work, never exercised, and ate lots of junk food.
Not a pretty picture. But if I’d never been in that place, I wouldn’t understand how to get out of it. And so I’m grateful I was there. I’ve learned a lot, about myself and about how to find happiness in who I am, what I have, who I’m with, what I do, and all that’s around me.
And now, I’d like to share that with you.
I’ve written a free book called The Little Book of Contentment: A guide to becoming happy with life & who you are, while getting things done. I share it with you today, in hopes that it will help a few of you, or maybe many, who struggle with being happy with yourselves and your lives. It’s a more common problem than you might imagine, and if I can help just a little, that would be amazing.
I hope you like the book.
