About this ebook

An integrated resource for greater happiness, Rock & Water will keep you moving peacefully through the unpredictable ups and downs of life.
Just as a stream peacefully wanders through the natural world, over, around, or between rocks, Rock and Water provides skills that can help you navigate through the obstacles of life. Author Scott Cooper introduces 18 basic skills for enhancing and sustaining happiness that will uphold and carry inner peace and happiness from one day to the next -- skills that are based on Scott Cooper's research in the fields of cognitive psychology and mindfulness/acceptance. Cognitive psychology is grounded in the theory that our happiness is strongly influenced by our thinking. 


It's not so much a situation that brings unhappiness, but rather our perception of a situation.


Mindfulness/acceptance practice is grounded in applying more nonreactive acceptance to daily living; particularly when it comes to daily dilemmas that we can't control. In this new book, Rock and Water maintains the strong point of view that happiness is not enhanced by more talk about happiness, but by applying these conscious -hands-on- techniques that help us to cope with the inner sources of unhappiness---- this is the core of what cognitive and acceptance-based skills are all about.


These skills are based primarily on current research and practice in the fields of cognitive-behavioral psychology and mindfulness/acceptance, two disciplines that have mostly been isolated from each other. Rock and Water is research-based and practical, while also being philosophical and personal; and includes several narratives from the life experiences of a wide variety of prominent people in history (Viktor Frankl, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Audrey Hepburn, Mohandas Gandhi and many others).
