After the death of his wife, David Kuenzli began a transformative inner journey. Was it possible, he wondered, to find deeper happiness, even while facing some of life's most painful and difficult challenges?

Using a unique paradigm for understanding and creating deeper happiness, Kuenzli describes the five pools (or levels) of happiness, and the turbulent waters and dangerous undertows to avoid.
Diving Deeper also includes more than three dozen heart-warming and inspiring essays written by David Kuenzli's friends, as they reflect on what life passions bring them joy.

* Savor the pleasures of life.
