Description
The Good LifeThe Dalai Lama once wrote that the object of human existence was to be happy. This sounds extremely glib as happiness in the popular imagination is a feeling and in the words of the song 'the greatest gift that we possess'. On the other hand, von Hugel wrote 'Religion has never made me happy; it's no use shutting your eyes to the fact that the deeper you go, the more alone you will find yourself' This small masterpiece by the late Fr Herbert McCabe of
The Dalai Lama once wrote that the object of human existence was to be happy. This sounds extremely glib as happiness in the popular imagination is a feeling and in the words of the song 'the greatest gift that we possess'. On the other hand, von Hugel wrote 'Religion has never made me happy;it's no use shutting your eyes to the fact that the deeper you go, the more alone you will find yourself' This small masterpiece by the late Fr Herbert McCabe of the Dominican order steers a steady courss between these two extremes. We feels instinctively that human beings are designed to enjoy themselves and to be happy and yet we are told that suffering is good for the soul. But in the Catholic tradition the true object of human existence is the vision of God and nothing less than this will ever make us truly happy. But Fr McCabe explores much deeper issues. Is Happiness a pleasure or a pain? You hardly know. Certainly it is not a comfort for comfort spells seciurity and hapiness can take you out of yourself to a degree where all secutiry is left behind. Behind a feeling of exultation, you can sense the flame of incandescent terror. This short book is entirely original and will further enhance McCabe's posthumous reputation.Binding Type: Paperback

Cooling Blanket is a sleep saver for me!
This is the second product I have used from bedsmile and as with the other one, this is a great product! It truly is a cooling blanket. I am a very hot sleeper and live in a hot, humid climate, so this has been a sleep saver for me! One side is silky smooth and feels so good on your skin. The other side has a texture to it which is great if you want to use it as your only bedding, which I do. It covers well and hangs over the edges as it should. I ordered the white one and it is bright and unblemished. The silky side magically feels much cooler than typical bedding and keeps me cooler during the night. It is lightweight but heavy enough to make you feel that you are "under the covers". In my opinion, putting additional covers over it would defeat the purpose but if you live in a cooler climate, it would still be beneficial to use this blanket as the silky coolness would help get a good night's sleep anywhere. Another great benefit of this product is that it does not have any strange odors when unpacking. I did wash it before using, but honestly, I am not sure it was necessary.

Incredible Value - Soft, Stays in Place, and Military Son Approved!
Size: California King, Size: California King
I purchased this mattress topper for under $27 and I'm so impressed that I'm planning to buy another one!
Easy Installation & Perfect Fit:
This topper was incredibly easy to put on, and it fits my California King mattress perfectly. The 18-inch deep pockets ensure it stays in place - I can move around on the bed and it doesn't shift at all.
Comfort:
The topper is wonderfully soft and has made a noticeable difference in our sleep quality. My husband absolutely loves it, and we both wake up feeling more rested.
The Ultimate Test:
My son recently came home after being deployed for a year. He slept on our bed for hours and immediately commented on how soft and comfortable it was. That's saying something for someone who's been sleeping on military accommodations! He was so impressed that he's planning to buy one for his ship.
Bottom Line:
For the price, comfort, and quality, I recommend this 100%. It's hypoallergenic, stays in place, and has exceeded all our expectations. You can't go wrong with this purchase!

Mattress protector
Size: Twin
Arrived quickly. No factory odor. Was "scrunchy" out of the package, but fit snuggly around the twin mattress and doesn't make any annoying noise. Basic protective mattress topper. Water proof, but breathable, no condensation under the sheets. Disappointed there wasn't more "fluff", but does the job of protecting my mattress from coffee spills and natural body sweat in between weekly washing. I've had it a while, and it seems to be holding up with monthly washing and drying.
