| Publisher Description: Curious the Dragonfly just wants to feel good. The problem is good feelings seem to come and go for no reason. Curious has many ideas where to look for the good feeling treasure and sets off on an adventure to find it. Through a series of funny mishaps, he discovers the truth that will change his life. Why this book is important From a very young age, we are conditioned to believe that our good feelings are to be found in the people, things, and circumstances outside of us. In reality, feelings are generated internally. This fundamental misunderstanding is the source of many of our problems as society. When we are in a bad feeling, we engage in all sorts of undesirable behavior towards ourselves and others to try and get a good feeling: bullying, acting out, addictive behavior, and over-consumption, to name a few. If we can remember that regardless of what is going on around us, we have access to an internally generated well-being, we will dramatically reduce the harmful behaviors in which we engage. Understanding that feelings are generated internally gives children and adults the feeling of a super-power and unleashes a capacity to thrive. The simple yet profound truth contained in this book has helped thousands of people to overcome stress, anxiety, and depression. This fun, lyrical, brightly illustrated book will encourage boys and girls from ages 4-10 to explore the source of their feelings, discover their own treasure that lies within, and maybe change the world in the process. |
