Inspirations for Difficult Times (2019)
Many have found encouragement and spiritual help from Dr. Paul T. P. Wong’s daily inspirations posted on Facebook. This book is a collection of Paul’s personal favourites and his most popular quotes.
The wisdom in these pages results from Dr. Wong’s life-long search for meaning and his discovery that the answer to life’s toughest questions can only be found in the intersections between religious faith, existential philosophy, and psychological science. Extending Dr. Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, Dr. Wong calls his approach existential positive psychology. Dr. Wong believes that there is nothing more positive and uplifting than confronting the horrors of life, and emerging stronger and happier. Whatever your personal struggles and whatever your unspeakable private hell, you will find some encouragement, hope, and joy from this book that was written with tears of sorrow and joy.
It was published as part of the celebration of Dr. Wong’s 80th birthday and the 20th anniversary of the International Network of Personal Meaning (INPM; www.meaning.ca), a non-profit founded by Dr. Wong. Proceeds from sales of the book will support his ongoing teaching and writing, and INPM’s various projects, such as the Meaning Conferences and Student Scholarships.
