The Search for Serenity and How to Achieve It

When Lewis Presnall's "The Search for Serenity and How to Achieve It" was originally published in 1959, there was no publication party or PR campaign. There were no advertisements and, of course, no postings on Facebook or Twittter. Yet this book (which was originally published by an AA chapter) has sold tens of thousands of copies; its only publicity has been through word of mouth. Over the years the book has transcended the AA/self-help genre to become a touchstone for thousands of readers from a variety of backgrounds.

For over half a century, Presnall's wisdom has changed lives, and it still resonates today. He shows us that serenity is truly a choice-as is misery.

It all begins with self-analysis and awareness.

This guide goes beyond self-help by setting you on the road to long-term spiritual growth. Presnall's words offer comprehensive tools to combat several obstacles including depression, addiction, stress, and other negative emotional habits. Presnall has provided an enduring and encouraging guide for taking control of our lives and finding contentment.
