Book Reviews of Anatomy of Desire: How to Be Happy Even When You Don?t Get What You Want

Book Review: Reality Beyond All Fantasy
Summary: 5 Stars

Gina Lake intimately dissects the entire landscape of desire and skillfully points us to the Reality that is beyond all fantasy. In a well written, grounded and pragmatic manner, she guides us to awaken from the ego's endless cravings and invites us to discover the uncaused joy of the Heart.
- Katie Davis, Awake Joy: The Essence of Enlightenment

Summary of Anatomy of Desire: How to Be Happy Even When You Don?t Get What You Want

Anatomy of Desire by Gina Lake won't help you get what you want, but it will help you want what you get. It will help you understand desire and its purpose in your life, it will help you discriminate between your Heart's desires and false ones, and it will help you relate to your desires in a way that reduces suffering and increases joy. It is essentially a book about how to be happy regardless of your desires. It points out many of the myths about desire, which keep you tied to them and the suffering they create. So, it is also about spiritual freedom, or liberation, which comes from letting the Heart guide you instead of the ego. It is ultimately about becoming a lover of life rather than a desirer because these two things-love and desire-are at odds, and you must choose between them. What do you really want? Do you want what you want or do you want love?
