Summary: This book is a synthesis of ideas from spiritual thinking and modern therapies that explores how happiness comes from doing the least harm; focused effort; clarity of thought; respect; awareness; clear goals; taking time not just to act and do things but also sometimes to stop 'doing things' and experience life directly. It explores how to embody these ideas in teams who work with vulnerable clients. Aiming to create progress in the gentlest and most holistic way possible whilst doing the least harm, it focuses on where change occurs naturally, so that the focus can be on encouraging and empowering that change.
