Publisher's Synopsis

At a recent workshop, Despina Gurlides was the only one out of 40 people who raised her hand when the leaders asked, "Who is happy?" When asked for the recipe for happiness, she replied, "Do not betray yourself."

Like everyone, however, Despina had fallen into the trap of self-betrayal. At one point, she thought she was happy after climbing the corporate ladder to success and marrying a successful man, but then she realized she felt empty inside. It took a lot of maneuvering for her to break out of her material trance, but she did it. Then she fell into a spiritual trance and had to break out of that as well.

Along the way, she learned the answers to some tough questions, including:

  • How can someone feel unhappy even if she is successful?
  • What important message does depression bring?
  • What are the rewards of failure?
  • What is the way Home?
Follow Despina as she navigates the murky waters dominated by career, image and money until she finds the way to happiness. If you are feeling trapped and want some answers, it may be time to take some advice from someone who is Not a Guru.
