The Option Method

The Option Method: The Myth of Unhappiness, Vol. 2 is the second of a three-volume set subtitled The Collected Works of Bruce Di Marsico on The Option Method and Attitude. Following the introductory Volume 1, Volume 2 delves deeper into the nature of happiness and unhappiness in nine parts: Feelings, Beliefs and Desires; Emotions; What Moves Us; Motivation; Wanting, Doing and Knowing; Relationships; Believing Yourself; Forms of Unhappiness and Arguments Against Happiness. The book focuses on more intermediate Option Method concepts in 118 chapters such as Believing as a Biological Reality, Wanting to be Unhappy to the Right Degree, Beliefs are Known as the Truth and Pain and Unhappiness. The work continues to shine the light on the words of this remarkable man, who tells us "Happiness is not hiding, nor is it elusive; it is the most present, most obvious reality." A powerful tool for happiness, The Option Method is based on the premise that happiness is our natural state and all unhappiness is based on the belief that we have to be unhappy. A precursor to new age personal growth and development tools, today The Option Method is practiced the world over. Bruce Di Marsico (1942-1995)left behind a rich legacy of his voluminous writings on the nature of happiness and unhappiness and his blueprint for achieving happiness through The Option Method. Until now, these writings were not widely available. Lovingly compiled by Di Marsico's widow, Deborah Mendel, with edits and commentary by Aryeh Nielsen, Option Method scholar. Foreword by Frank Mosca (author, Joywords)and contributions by Wendy Dolber (author, The Guru Next Door, A Teacher's Legacy), veteran teachers trained by Di Marsico.
