How to Be Your Own Best Friend - 1819

Twenty-four years ago, when we wrote How to Be Your Own Best Friend, it was a time of great social upheaval and dissolving values. Many people were dissatisfied with their lives. They might not have been any worse off than people of other decades, but they were no longer ready to accept boredom, anxiety and misery as natural states. They wanted more. The same might be said of the 1990s. Life is more confusing and values are more uncertain than ever. Today's stresses and demands require a strong, solid sense of self - which is what being your own best friend is all about. FORGIVENESS AND REWARD Most people seek happiness outside themselves - more money, a better job, more sex - but there's no true contentment unless it first comes from within. When some people look within, they don't like what they see. Their disappointment in themselves and their self-hate may be masked by habits of compulsive perfectionism...criticism of self and others...or escape into alcohol, drugs, TV, etc. In order to be your own best friend, you must learn to develop the same kind of tolerant goodwill, positive attitude and love toward yourself that you feel toward people whom you treasure as friends.
