Robert A. Johnson (born May 26, 1921) is an American Jungian analyst and author Johnson was born in Portland, Oregon. He studied at the University of Oregon and Stanford University. In 1945, he went to Ojai, California, as a student of Jiddu Krishnamurti, an Indian spiritual teacher.

via myths, tales, and functional routines, they exhibit the way to circulate past the inevitable frustrations of the typical ego-centered method of happiness and open. our lives to a deeper, richer layer of expertise. Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth.

Most of us believe that we'll somehow achieve contentment just as soon as we get a better job, find a more satisfying relationship, buy a bigger house, retire, or attain some other goal. Our society conditions us to think this way. But with this approach to life, contentment forever eludes us. We continually banish our contentment to another time, a different place, a better circumstance.

In this powerfully liberating guide, acclaimed Jungian visionary Robert A. Johnson and psychotherapist and author Jerry M. Ruhl present a fresh way to approach contentment, showing us clearly and simply how we can realize true, lasting happiness. Through myths, stories, and practical exercises, they show how to move beyond the inevitable frustrations of the common ego-centered approach to happiness and open our lives to a deeper, richer layer of experience.

Contentment, they say, is a way of being at home with ourselves and a way of affirming the reality of our lives--honoring "what is" both within and without. "It is never the result of what we have or do. Rearranging life on the outside cannot produce contentment--at least not for long. Contentment is an inner experience..."

The authors explore the many gifts of contentment--from energy and spontaneity to dreams and ordinariness--showing how we can integrate them into our daily lives. They envision contentment as "a dance between your wishes and reality, [between] what you want and what you get," and they teach us how to do this dance until you're "in love with the moment, not just dutifully accepting it...but passionately, rapturously embracing the eternal now."

Find Your Way to Joy and Satisfaction

"Contentment grows out of a willingness to surrender preconceived ideas and affirm reality as it is. Honoring "what is" is just the opposite of living out of a "just as soon as" mentality...This book is about the dance between what we want and what reality presents to us."-- from Contentment

Whenever I need more peace in llife, I find it in the books of Robert A. Johnson. This one is a wonderful checklist for inner equillibrium. Deceptively short, each of the points it makes could easily be a subject of a separate book. Peace and love.

Johnson gives a clear understanding of contentment from a Jungian perspective. I have had difficulty connecting what he has written with a Christian understanding of contentment or a Buddhist understanding.

This is just a rehash of every other book on the subject.

Robert Johnson's books are all brilliant and written in such a way that they are easy to understand and the reading proceeds quickly. Using the power of myth and story makes the book informative, insightful and enlightening. I shall read it a second time and make sure that I not only pass it on but have a copy on my bookshelf.

Having Followed Robert Johnson's writing most of my life, i was curious about this book.
It is a rehash of his earlier work, if you have his earlier books don't bother with this one.

This is an amazing book. Insightfull. I leant it to someone, so now need to buy it again, because I want to leave them with the book! So I will purchase again. Short, and makes you think. Especially loved the bit at the end about how in the past people lived less for themselves, and more for "community". If their community was doing OK, but they were dying, it didn't really matter, as their part had built up the community. It's a bit better worded than that though...

What a valuable little book! This is an easy read, full of simple insights that can guide a person to a better life. I have liked it so much I downloaded a copy for my Kindle.
