The book explores what prevents people from achieving happiness and contentment, and how to attain and sustain a satisfying measure of both. It explains how our conscious fantasies and largely unconscious phantasies are full of "shoulds", "oughts", "musts" and "buts", that make lived experience seem painful, dull or difficult. Ways of accessing our phantasies and unproductive beliefs are offered.
