The Lost Sun explores the difficulty of dealing with change, something that affects us all as humans. The concise, insightful narrative uses metaphor to delve into the complex workings of human psychology making them accessible for all readers.

The narrative concludes with a deep exploration of a unique teaching, and a practical process for readers to implement in their lives. The result is an essential guide for leading a confident and fulfilling life amidst adversities.

This is one of four books in the Being Human series, a self-help collection that dives into the complexities of the human condition. Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teachings, the stories focus on the importance of developing psychological resilience to help us deal with life’s challenges. Each book stands alone but, when read together, offers a thorough understanding of our shared human experience.

This charming and wise story teaches a counter-intuitive life lesson: If you are not willing to have the emotions you have, that is what you'll get. Highly recommended.”
