Brian Mountford,in exploring "happiness", celebrates the paradox of losing and finding at its heart. At once both profound and simple, the book teaches us that to be fully alive is to be in communion and that gratitude leads us into the mystery of giving ourselves away-the path of true joy. ~ Alan Jones, Dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, author of Reimagining Christianity.
