FINDING PEACE

Why Happiness Isn't the Goal - and Never Was
For years, we've been told that happiness is the destination.
That if we work hard enough, heal enough, believe enough, or wait long enough, life will eventually reward us with a lasting sense of contentment.

But what if happiness was never meant to carry that weight?
In Finding Peace, Keith Thorn offers a quiet, deeply honest exploration of what remains when happiness proves unreliable-and what becomes possible when we stop chasing it altogether.

This is not a book about positive thinking.
It is not a guide to emotional optimization.
And it is not a promise that life will resolve if you just do the right things.
Instead, Finding Peace speaks to those who have done the work, carried the responsibility, stayed faithful, endured the waiting-and still find themselves asking:
Why does peace feel so elusive, even when life hasn't fallen apart?
Through reflective storytelling and thoughtful insight, Thorn explores:

• Why happiness is conditional-and why peace is not
• How waiting, striving, and endurance quietly erode our inner lives
• The difference between faith and expectation
• What it really means to let go without giving up
• How trust changes when reassurance disappears
• Why peace often feels like loss before it feels like freedom

• Are tired of chasing emotional highs
• Have outgrown motivational optimism
• Want depth without dogma
• Are learning to live with unanswered questions
• Are seeking steadiness rather than solutions
