Don't Worry/Be Happy

Using the Hansel and Gretel myth as a metaphor for life, psychologist and writer Sinetar speaks to those who are attempting to live their deepest calling in the midst of a seductive world. Happiness begins on the inside and does not depend on externals or material things, according to her. She emphasizes the power of a positive view without being pollyannish, and stresses how optimism is essential for the creative process to unfold. Sinetar is an educator, corporate advisor, lecturer and author of
Ordinary People As Monks and Mystics (Paulist Press 1986) and
Do What You Love: The Money Will Follow (Paulist Press 1987),
To Build the Life You Want, Create the Work You Love (St. Martin 1995),
