The Sudist Way

Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, irritability, headaches, or chronic pain, or know someone who does? Do you wonder why, despite your best efforts, you have not achieved the lasting happiness you long for? Drawing from over 500 sources, including medical experts, psychologists, and numerous studies, The Sudist Way explores why we struggle with physical and emotional aches, why lasting happiness seems to always slip out of our grasp, and what we can do differently to achieve the most fulfilling, meaningful life possible. Gain crucial, evidence-based insights on many aspects of daily life, including: • The hidden dangers of seeking pleasure and happiness at all cost • Why all pleasant experiences fade away, no matter how hard we try to make them last • Why we’re often wrong about who is truly happy and who isn’t • The heavy price we pay for using painkillers and psychiatric medications • The powerful, hidden connection between pleasure, joy, pain, and suffering • Why the idea of “everything in moderation” is wrong • The root causes of the worldwide obesity epidemic and the best way to solve our weight problems • Why we should willingly take our daily dose of pain and suffering • A comprehensive chart of all pleasant and unpleasant sensations we have the capacity to experience • Powerful, natural lifestyle strategies for beating depression, anxiety, and chronic pain without medication—even if these problems have resisted all other forms of treatment.
