Take a journey from dissatisfaction to satisfaction with new book
Robert Ott announces publication of 'A Practical Approach to Life Satisfaction'
ST. LUCIE, Fla., March 22, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Robert Ott weaves academic content with personal narratives and reflective questions so readers can hone the tool of grit with emotional intelligence to achieve life satisfaction in his new book "A Practical Approach to Life Satisfaction: Powered by Emotional Knowledge and Grit" (published by Archway Publishing).
The book argues that constantly striving to pursue accolades is more likely to drive individuals into the ground instead of leading them to fulfillment. However, when grit works together with emotional intelligence, it can yield marked improvements in life satisfaction, according to the author. Ott believes, the book is an essential resource for teachers, parents, and others who shape the next generation.
The author hopes his book teaches readers, "That life is hard for most of us. Yet, suffering is part of the beauty associated with life that allows us to grow and evolve into more satisfying people. Recognizing when we feel unfulfilled and why is an important maxim to this book's purpose."
An excerpt from "A Practical Approach to Life Satisfaction:"
Grit—defined as persistence and passion despite obstacles—has received much attention, yet books on this theme often idolize achievements at the expense of mental health. For instance, by the time Ernest Hemingway earned the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, he had demonstrated true grit by enduring an injury of war, witnessing the Spanish Civil War, and writing fifteen groundbreaking volumes of literature. Yet by 1961, he had divorced three women and died by suicide.
