Mystic and the Secret of Happiness: A journey toward fearlessness - Paperback

by Anne-Claire Szubaniska (Author)

Readers call it "better than therapy."

Mystic and the Secret of Happiness is a fable for grown-ups. Warm, beautifully illustrated, and quietly transformative.

What makes it unlike anything else you have read is the way it works. The wisdom is woven into a story so full of love and compassion that your mind absorbs it effortlessly, without resistance, without even realizing it is happening. There are no lessons to study, no exercises to complete. You simply follow Mystic on his journey, and somewhere along the way, without quite knowing when, something shifts inside you.

The story:

Mystic, an anxious cat, loses everything he thought was the source of his joy and his reason for existence when his best friend, an elephant named Bumpa, goes missing. Heartbroken, Mystic decides to search for his lost friend and regain his happiness. But on his journey, he meets a strange, beautiful black cat named Freedom, who insists he doesn't need Bumpa to be happy, and a terrifying red cat named Trembly, who tries to convince him that happiness is an illusion. Mystic's hope shatters, and his worst fears threaten to push him into a bottomless abyss of pain.

Will Mystic have the strength to face his fears? Will he ever see Bumpa, or be truly happy ever again?

What follows is not just Mystic's journey. It could be yours.
