It's one of the buzzwords of the day, symbolizing a higher level of excitement, stimulation, and enjoyment in life. But a paradox comes into play as we search for fulfillment through amassing "goodies" and participating in intense activities. "We want more enjoyment in our lives", writes Mark Chamberlain, "but seeking and even acquiring does not remove that sense of wanting". Indeed, he points out, our seeking quite often backfires, and our capacity for enjoyment seems to decrease the more we indulge ourselves. In Wanting More, he shows us how to reverse the downward spiral of dissatisfaction and learn how to appreciate and enjoy life to the fullest. It's a compelling look at time-honored principles of self-control, patience, and increased awareness, sorely needed in an age of instant gratification.
