The Five Longings: What We've Always Wanted--and Already Have

The Five Longings: What We've Always Wanted--and Already Have

Identifying the things you long for can reveal deep truths about yourself. Â The Five LongingsÂ can show you how to work with these desires to live in a happier, more satisfying way.

If youâ€™ve ever had a vague sense that somethingâ€™s missing from your life, congratulations:Â That longing for something better is a sign of being fully human, fully alive. Â But whatâ€™s even more wonderful, according to Dave Richo, is that when you identify and carefully examine the things you long forâ€”like love, meaning, freedom, happiness, and growthâ€”you not only discover deep truths about yourself, but you also find that the things you long for were never really â€œmissingâ€ at all.Â He provides enlightening advice and practices for accessing just this kind of profound self-discovery , illustrated by a wealth of examples from depth psychology, religion, and literature. Â Our longings in fact point to the presence of something transcendent in us, he shows. In seeking something better, we are seeking that which we already are.
